The ATAS seem really bad recently, keep missing everything unless rear aspect and slow. Considering dropping two for the gunpod in the G-Lynx.

They just disabled the comments, but the report is still open

I meant more that the last action on it was 7 months ago.

On a different note, the dev diary for the G Lynx says this:

I’m pretty sure you can’t attain that speed in game even if you go min fuel with no weapons.

Ah right yeah, so thats at least another 6 months before they even look at the bug report. I think the average is at least a year.

That’s correct. The configuration that broke the record and set that speed was highly modified (even more so than we have in game) specifically for that record. The game configuration cannot archive that speed, as it doesn’t just require the removal of all weaponry, but among the other mods, the additional tail surfaces that were fitted later in G-LYNX’S life:

I can go test the top speed in game. It’s likely they used special fuel for the record irl

that too

Just extra strong Tea

Maybe worth noting these are RN test/preproduction HAS.2s with the 3 windows in the cargo doors instead of the single large window

I would never say no to some lovely naval Helicopters

3:10 in to this video about Lynx reveals that the mystery launchers on the IWM Gazelle footage were probably smoke canisters or illum flares on a Light Series Bomb Carrier:

Footage immediately before that is about Hawkswing installation on Lynx, and explains that the LSBC and Hawkswing used the same pylon installation. So Hawkswing probably could be viable on Gazelle

Ed:- Added comparative image of the stores shown in the Lynx and Gazelle videos respectively
