well if its anything like brimstone, they will say its op and unbalanced even though spike and lmur are doing fine. ir marlet would be what would make the heli more playable at that br

Yeah, it’s a very different weapon, with quite possibly a different seeker going of the nose shape

Martlet - Missing IOG

Yes, as it is SAL?

And from what I’ve seen the SAL seekers on Freefall LMM and regular LMM are intended to be identical.

Found some images of LMM fired at surface targets from gun mounts too. Again observe the high angle for the launch.

Clicky for source

I found the original video I was thinking of with the static fire! Shows the LMM lofting up over the horizon out of the launcher before tracking onto the target well below.

just need the ir seeker now, then we would have a competitive helicopter on our hands

Martlet still gunna do waaaaaay less damage than JAGM-MR and have a lot less range and the lack of LDIRCM makes the wildcat waaaaaay weaker defensively.

Im mostly looking forward to it in NE (if helis get added to NE) with the Sea Venoms (if/when they get added). For GRB, it just looks like a waste of time to uptier your 11.7/12.0 lineup for or to ever take over the AHMK2

Maybe if they ever decompress top tier… But I dont see that happening anytime soon…

AShMs on helis please! AShMs on vehics too! AShMs on ships!

Added a couple more links including details in the IMU and contractor.

I saw, thank you

Pleasure! Sorry I can’t do much more atm, 0200 so supposed to be asleep, but my phone won’t rat me out to my partner and I’d rather be doing something than staring at the ceiling.

I think it should be enough.

If nothing else, what is the point of an IMU on the missile if the missile requires laser from the second it leaves the tube.

Everything else after that is just icing

I’d never seen that image before. The only image I have seen of the supposed SAL seeker is this one which is obviously much pointier.

In hindsight, for this image, they have probably just used to current nose shape as a placeholder.
