AW159 Wildcat HMA2: The Cat with Many Claws!

@Smin1080p_WT I hope the SPIKE NLOS gets added to the Israeli AH-64’s, since they do use them in active combat for quite a while now.

At the moment, Israel’s best helicopter is the AH-60 Battlehawk which gets 16x SPIKE ER missiles which have mediocre range and incredibly slow speed, as well as an underperforming warhead. Compared to other FnF Heli ATGM’s in Top Tier, this is the worst one there is currently.

If that will get implemented into the Israeli Heli TT, the AH-64D-I Saraph will finally have use in the Top tier environment. I am really looking forward for this addition!

P.S- In my opinion, even add the SPIKE NLOS without MITL. Everything being added will be better than the horrendous SPIKE ER 😭

We have no evidence the alternative guidance or warhead options where ever produced.

Spoiler

Kh-38 and the IR seeker in the corner, never shown mounted on one another or a plane. Yes ik seeker exists but my point is theres no proof of it ever used and mounted. Can’t pull “no evidence” as easy anymore with munitions. Anyway gib make believe IR brim

they were dead before we knew about the wildcat ever coming sadly

Hoping they atleast have IOG and can be used as decoys, otherwise you’ll never kill anything with just 4x Spikes, even with MITL

They would have been a nice anti-heli (and anti careless CAS) tool at a lower BR

Welp, can’t have a niche purpose heli like that, I guess

Would have been a lot of fun at 11.7 with that lineup. But unless they get another gamemode to play it in (like maybe NE?) I guess this is a really cool vehicle I simply will never play

Same, absolutely can’t stand GRB top tier, it’s completely ruined by CAS

None of the others have been produced yet, as far as avalable information shows.

“The weapon is guided using a laser beam-riding system but Thales have proposed a variety of additional seekers including a semi-active laser, terminal Infrared, and GPS/INS systems.”

So far the others exist only as proposals. So we have no information from which to base them off.

I cant stand the ground vehicles and the total lack of balance there.

But yeah, would be nice to have a gamemode to play a heli in where you arent forced to grind in tanks first.

Gotta make sure that it doesn’t beat the Mi-28

meanwhile it will still struggle to grind in Heli PvE given all mainstream FnF players still flocking in there even after unlocking FnF munitions and not leaving everyone else kill points

Would this new SPIKE open the possibility for other helis to get new spikes?
For example the Battle hawk getting ER2 or LR Spikes

It would struggle in Heli PvE even if it had its whole missile loadout unlocked by default

Spikes are by far the slowest FnF missiles available on Helis and the Martlets will only be able to take down planes and the infantry targets while also having a much more limited range than the competition

Pretty sure the ERs on helis are better than the LRs on tanks currently

stinky

Great multi-role naval helicopter for british tech tree.

I know some player antsy this guided Air-to-Surface Missile

But I want decompression battle rating for ground battle mode to 13.3 if gajin ready Spike NLOS for helicopter top tier
