British Helicopter Tech Tree - Discussion Topic

Are you saying the British tree can get another good heli

It could if gaijin wanted it to

Do it

Wondering if in the future perhaps, the AS.12’s on the wasp & wessex could recieve their SAP warheads? Wikipedia tells me it’s called the “OP3C”.

I thought they were only on the Wessex

Would be nice for naval

Anyone got any docs for the Lynx’s Seaspray Mk1 radar?

@da12thmonkey What do you know about either the British Avimo/Ferranti AF530 sight or the APX 334 Athos? I was reading that they were tested on the Lynx HAS.2 and you mentioned them so I wanted to know if you know anything applicable to WT. I.e Zoom, Thermals/NVD’s or target tracking.

AF530 was the sight Lynx would have gotten for HawkSwing. 2.5-10x magnification. As far as I know it was simply an optical sight. Certainly no thermals or target tracking or anything that advanced.

The AF532 version used as the Gazelle Observation Aid (GOA) had LRF but unsure if AF530 did.
This old documentary shows how GOA worked as an observation device

Range would show in the LED display, in place of HI/LOW magnification when lased
I don’t think it had night vision, since Gazelles were usually equipped with other observation devices for night reconnaissance in NI.

APX334 Athos is the sight on the SA.341F Gazelle in the French tree, so I guess that’s the best point of reference for War Thunder. It was indeed the sight used on French Navy HAS.2(FN)s in the early days when they were still using AS.12
