Gonna be the end of top tier if helicopters get man in the loop, especially considering the helipads are right next to the battlefield (REALISM!!) and can just indefinitely sit on the helipad and launch missiles and guide them without risking anything.
Spike would probably be the least powerful with that mechanic, because it’s slow and unreliable. Usually when I play D-Mangusta I throw multiple at one target and hide or reload.
I can tell you right now. When it was on the dev server spikes were better than Lemurs when it came to MITL since they are slower you can fine tune the target hit a bit more.
Useless detail but 20 missiles is not a new record. Mi-28NM can use 16 9M120s and 4 LMURs for a 20 missile count and has had the lead for a decent while now.
Because current point & click adventure with virtually nonexistent counterplay (except pantsir s1/sm-sv ofc) didnt make the ground part in ground battles unplayable enough already I suppose.
