Bedford Rapier Laserfire - British SACLOS SAM System

It’d also have a better gearbox, improved suspension, and better tracks, so the mobility would be better all around.

+1. How many Gs can this missile pull?

Good question. Using “looks simmilar” tactic around 40g

That’s a lot of Gs actually. This might become the best 10.X SAM

That was me just saying whatever. I don’t think G pull was ever disclosed.
But it should have a decent pull, as it was designed to do direct hits.

According to ODIN which isn’t a great source but good for en estimate, 22g for the Mk1 and 35g for the Mk2
The Mk2 also apparently has a shaped-charge (HEAT) warhead so it’d likely be around 11.0 in my opinion

That’s, lower than I expected.

Humm? That’s interesting. I need to investigate that.

Still really good, most SAMs below top tier are either 15 or 20g

U sure. Look again at 10.0-10.7 bracket

Roland 1/2: 15g
Roland 3: 20g
BOLIDE: 15g

Stingers: 13g
Strelas: 20g
Mim-72s: 16.5g
Mistral: 16g
Igla: 10.2g

The only real big exceptions are the Osas (25g), Tunguska (32g) and Starstreak (47g)

Bolide for sure has over 20g
20g is most time enough to hit things (unless it’s a Roland, then no, as its handling is no existant)

Should be added instead of the tracked rapier 🤦‍♂️

Tracked Rapier was a very significant vehicle in British SPAA and deserves inclusion in the game.

No reason we couldn’t have them both, except for 10.X British SPAA being extremely overcrowded once the Tracked Rapier arrives.

Gee, I wonder why 10.X British SPAA is insanely crowded? 🤔 It couldn’t be those two copy-paste Soviet SPAAs, right? No way…

Hmmmmmm yeah i wonder why. Its also not like the stormer can use the Martlet LMM which has proximity fuze to correct the stormer issue but Gaijin also dont want to do that.

Not to mention the pen on the ammo is messed up (it drops off too quickly).
