I swear they are getting these ideas from an ocean war god

Was just thinking back in this, i think the UK now is the only nation without a good helicopter at top tier? Especially since most have fire and forget missiles now?

+1 if the US gets the SH-3H along side it :) (all nations need naval helicopter)

Definetly need one of these on the back of a Type 45 :P

No, we have slightly better than Japan and the US and Sweden are fairly tide with us, maybe marginally better.

But if a source for IR guided Martels can be 100% confirmed, then the Wildcat just becomes the most logical option for us to get ASAP

there’s no primary sources indicating the IR one has been produced or prototyped, just proposed.
Bit of a non issue though, the Korean Wildcats have spikes.
Production mounts


Pre-delivery testing in the UK

iirc it’s different hard point wings, so you’d have to run Martlets on one side and spikes on the other

figure this would interest you to @Morvran

Yeah, I’ve heard about that before. But it wouldn’t be the first time Britain didn’t get a loadout option because it’s not in the British arsenal. So it’s a 50/50 chance whether we get it or not. But yeah, would be another solid option

the gripens share mavs etc etc so it could happen. ZT-6s would be fun too, given Martlets are still only an 8km missile.
+ the testing wildcat flew in both UK and SK colours so :shrug:

Martlet on stormer though would be nice as a 2nd option

Have you seen my suggestion for its possible pre-sets on its suggestion forum

Yes, i would still pick the startstreak over LMM though. Faster and linger range.

No, that’s not what I said. I suggested that you can create your own custom presets of LMM with different warheads, motors, etc like you do with aircraft loadouts

Oh haven’t seen that, send the link.

Here it is:
