British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

That would be a very nice/niche missile for gaijin to give to the UK, finally something that competes with everyone elses fire and forget systems?

I do wonder though how it would find/lock on ground targets for WT though, given its using the ASRAAM seeker head, would we fire it like we do air to air IR missiles, except at the ground? So qwasi guessing what it is we lock and fire at? Or just the same as other air to ground FnF when fired 3rd person.

We could just get the exactor with its spikes :)

Hello, maybe I’m not at the right address, but this is what I found on the Internet.

As you can see, Lancaster planes carried incendiary bombs (often along with other bombs)

Getting incendiary bombs for the lancs will be quite niche but would be very welcome

The incindary bombs in question

They are very, very tiny and would basically do nothing in the game

It did also carry larger versions

That would be of more use for WT

I was wondering where I left that.

haha

I’m still waiting for the British “Light Case” bombs (White Phosphorus)

They’d be very nice in removing bases. Though a buff to the bombs would be very nice.

Replacing the explosive in the 500lb M.C bomb would make it equal to the American 500lb AN bomb while being lighter.

B-29 have M56 bombs like Mk IV

I just thought about the flight of 3-4 Lancasters that can simply “delete” Airfield in simulation modes at once

RARDEN my beloved 30mm is missing its 90 RPM fire rate and 6 round clips.
Potentially missing its dispersion as well 1x1 meter at 1000 meters.

Looks like John beat me to it xD

This is due to the 90rpm being more a “theoretical max”, which I know, others often get but the UK hasnt for RARDEN.

80 RPM is fine, but yeah dispersion is a bit eh, also sadge on the amount of shell shatter.
