+1 would make a great addition
That’s probably because it costs money :)

tbf, the use case for Martlets is small boats etc. The “man in the loop” capability of SAL is probably a selling point

I hope not but I think you might be right
Martlet is guided using a semi-active control line of sight (SACLOS) laser beam riding. Before an engagement, the observer in the Wildcat places a laser pointer on the target using stabilised the EO camera and automatic target tracker (ATT). An Active Laser Generation Unit (ALGU) transmits a coded low-power beam from the Wescam MX-15Di turret on the nose of the Wildcat. Once launched, two receivers mounted on the missile’s tail detect the laser energy and maintain lock on the target. The system would appear to be only able to engage a single target at a time but each missile should eliminate a target within at seconds. Laser guidance is virtually immune from jamming and countermeasures. >>>Martlet is a modular missile and could be fitted with an infrared seeker head module which would give a ‘fire and forget’ capability and increase the rate of firing.<<< It is also possible swap out the warhead module for different kind of blast effects.
I just realised Sea Venom could solve Britain’s lack of fire & forget AGMs on helicopters. It is IIR, self guiding (with optional man in the loop), has 20+km range, and is confirmed to be able to attack land targets

God I want this missile and this helicopter sooner rather than later. If only gaijin cared about the British TT.
Or even treated it with the same love of Russia
I was thinking of saying that, but if I disrespect Russia gaijin might not like us enough to add it.
I haven’t played since June/July so I can get temp banned with[out] a huge change to grind
How are you able to post here if you haven’t played for that long??
If I don’t play for 1 week it doesn’t let me post chase of low game activity.
I haven’t logged onto the game on this account for a long time but I’m active enough on the forums that I can still post without issue but my main account can’t post on the forums for the same reason as you
