if gaijin models the NLOS spikes correctly, they will be able to be MITL guided around mountains/obstacles, because they have a fiber optic cable connecting them to the heli in real life.
Gaijin of all people should know this, as NLOS literally stands for “non line-of-sight”.
that will not matter against SV SM
NLOS does not have a cable. It has a 2 way RF DL.
loss of signal behind terrain? yeah but mitl is only on fixed wings atm so you don’t often run into it
Update trailer tomorrow?
Will the NLOS have the same warhead size as Spike ER and LR in game on other vehicles?
Likely later today but we will see
Cool one.
Just sad that its 100% dead when one jagm ir or LMUR is being sent its way while any heli with LDIRCM is absolutely invincible in return. Depending on how the martlets are implemented ofc.
Even if the Spikes wouldnt get beaten by the LDIRCM, even if they would be completely unaffected, they can relatively easyly be dodged in a heli when they are fired from more than 4 or 5 km and are basically gliding towards you after their booster has burnt out.
But they are. You could fire all 12 PARS of a uht at one Apache 64e, at once, and they would all get beaten and veer of course for 100s of m, way before they even get close to the heli. From almost all angles.
While a single jagm of his 16 jagms, that basically have their booster going for 12 km range or something crazy, if locked with a tracking lock, will pull so hard while coming from above that even in a tiger uht you wont even dodge a single one coming from 10 km away.
Fair and balansd…
Yeaaaahhhhh…i don’t really see that until ldircm is finally implemented more realistic. And even then. What are you going to do if just one JAGM, LMUR, Blue arrow or CM502KG is being sent your way from way out your own engagement range? Find a cave to hide in???
In short: Cool new heli. When fix basic and core top tier heli implementation and mechanics? RCS of rotor blades? LDIRCM?
the wildcat is getting the 32km variant, which isn’t currently in game afaik
Though without MITL, you are probably generously talking about 12km?
Thats very cool, rly, but as long as ldircm of helis is a forcefield in the shape of a bubble around any heli that has it, that can dazzle unlimited incoming ir missiles without any cooldown or time to target the next incoming missile from seemingly endless lasers, no other ir agm is geting anywhere close to them.
And if the wildcats spikes arent massively quicker than the spike ers, they will take longer to get to the battlefield from 32 km out than a match lasts. but will be intercepted anyways.
yeah, i should have been clearer but my point was more that they’ll have the kinetic energy to make it that far as well as larger wings, so it probably won’t be that easy to dodge
That is true. Though would the wings increase drag and reduce Time to Target?
To simply dodge, yeah id hope so. Theyd need a much longer booster duration or insane top speed to make it to 32 km. Thing is, if your heli has ldircm, you dont even need to dodge. Hovering already makes you invincible for spikes or other ir guided agms in 95% of cases. No matter how many are coming at once or where they are coming from.
Where’s the sea Venoms?
maybe going to be added for nuclear escalation
The Russian Dev Stream showed the Seraph using NLOS
would the Battlehawk also have them? (AH-60)
I hope but this means i have to grind the rest of the helis also the delilah crusie missile is on the f16i
They can be used against tanks too
that’s not a feature I would expect out of an anti ship missile, but cool
