“counter for ground vehicle”

i dont see any ground vehicle in that solution

the mode called ground battle, so there should be a ground based counter for anything in that mode

So fun and balanced when only one nation gets overpowered SPAA

One thing of note about sea-venom is that whilst its an ASM, it can also be used against tanks. So it might be a bit of an exception. Though would be interesting to see proper ASMs on other helis as well, providing there was something to shoot at them with.

Maybe making helis spawnable in NE for example would be rather interesting

Time to bring out the anti-ordinance SPAA… But honestly I’m exited to play a helicopter with MITL, as this one only has 4 it’s a good way to gauge the effect it will have on GRB and GSB.

But I will enjoy it, even when taking APS into consideration.

So close, yet so far…

or,

sure let me spawn CAP

wait, my IR missiles dont work because of LDIRCM. My ARH missiles dont work because stupid radar setup, and my brimstone just ghosted through the target.

Only 4?. Figured it would at least be 8

Devblog pictures Look like only the outer stations get spike launchers

you’d also complain if britain was left without MITL

Its not the first time they only showed a partial loadout, but thats gunna make it really useless if its 12.7 with only 4

Just give the AH-64E MMW Brimstone 2s instead :P

Well to be fair without LDIRCM its usefulness in 12.7 is already questionable even if it got 8

Yeah…

great now we just need a mode where helis are fun to play like nuclear escalation or old heli pvp because the new one is so bad for rewards it hurts

I wouldn’t. IR FnF + LDIRCM > MITL. MITL is needed for 12.7 fnf helis without ldircm so they would stop being totally useless. It isn’t critical for 13.0 ldircm fnf helicopters. With a 95% probability, their current standard gameplay will be more effective than playing via MITL.

So who need this 12.7 heli when we have much better 13.0 one?

I really wonder how big of a role helis will play in NE against submarines

Vehicle from wip post

Thats just balls

AN/AAR-57 MAWS sensors are missing from the nose of the model, next to the RWR


The rear-facing ones are modelled on the wheel sponsons.
I assume this means it will have MAWS, but will it still have frontal MAWS coverage despite missing the sensors?

And SPAAG downed me before I could get even remotely close for Gun

I mean if you launch it 50 km away you will need to control it almost 5 minutes until it reaches the target, right?
Btw is it even physically possible to support video connection for MITL at such range? On the other hand it’s probably possible in perfect conditions, but missile needs to be within directional signal.
