AW159 Wildcat HMA2: The Cat with Many Claws!

Eh… You need to maintain LoS with the weapon, not the target. So depending on range and your positioning. You fire over a hill, set the target as it goes above the hill and then when LoS is broken, it should have a target and be FnF.

No, as the Starstreaks have 1 hole too much, and Gaijin is not sure what it is

yeah but with the wire guided stuff you wouldn’t need to maintain LoS to the weapon, and i assume there’s a reason spike-er armed helis weren’t brought up with the lmur earlier in the thread

Oh yeah. I don’t think anyone actually knows what that’s for, so I guess it’s fair to assume that it could theoretically be something other than Starstreak. No alternative for what it could be comes to mind for me, but I don’t know everything.

there is more nations that dont have any MITL system at all then.
You can straight up scratch germany and italy out then.
Dunno for the chinese Edit:(CM502)

Smin specialy denied only sweden during the initial announcement

The fewest nations actualy use 50km range MITL missles.
NLOS is more the exception then the standard

why we still adding helicopters there either OP or mid you should rework the ones we already have instead of adding new ones

yea im just trying to guess at what gaijin is doing, unless smin really did forget like half a dozen helis have spikes already.

also the NLOS Mk.6 is 50km, the one the wildcat is getting looks to be the 5, so 32km

@Smin1080p_WT sorry for the ping but i have to ask since i haven’t seen it asked yet but is there a chance that the ah60 could receive the spike NLOS?

CM-502KG have mitl

Nothing to announce as of right now, but plans could change

show us the F14D dev blog please i wanna know what skins where getting

A US Navy F-14 Tomcat from the Fighter Squadron 111 (VF-111 ...

Looks very cool, but utterly pointless, Pantsir SV will kill this thing without breaking a sweat.
Still a game breaking SAM that Gaijin have no intent on balancing. Unless that does happen don’t expect any NATO helicopters to be of use.

Still crazy after multiple updates the Kh-38 is the best ground attack weapon in the game

But does Gaijin actually model that?

dont even give them the idea, they added to dev server, then rightfully realized how annoying it would be and took it away thank god.

yeah but they put those on premium one so i dont think theyll just copy paste it

What’s left to add other than the one you showed?

Hopefully this means we might see in the future more naval helicopters but still the wildcat will be interesting. Though we will see how effective it will be might be a bit hit and miss compared to a general attack helicopter

Cant wait to face off against this tea drinking wildcat.

I hope it will go after the original lynx in a separate tree offshoot not after ah mk2
