Gonna bring this up here as well because why not.
Gaijin, in their infinite wisdom, managed to copypaste far too hard and has reverted the wildcat and AH Mk.2 to using American avionics (which are worse…)
This takes away the advantage the AH Mk.2 had over the US 64E, and kneecaps further the already mediocre wildcat.
Im sorry what the hell is that?
theres 30mm HEAT for alpha jets? As if those damned things werent annoyingly OP enough
our apache mk2 irl are basically ah64e, we haven’t modified them this time round unlike the original ones
Uh, 99% sure we have, not as extensively, got the same engines this time round, but fairly certain RWR if nothing is else is different
Edit: Thought I recalled a post from Gunjob on some of the differences
So decided to check the state of tornado in NE; Is ALARM just useless? Seems to do sod all at point blank, and miss anything further out than point blank.
Stratus LO : more than x2 in terms of range compared to Storm Shadow/SCALP (1200km ~+)
And not much to say except that antiship mission is secondary.
Stratus RS : way more than x3 compared to exocet (800km ~+ and fit a recent document), liquid fueled ramjet.
Same seeker and payload (200kg) for for all missions (it is also supposed to hit radar that never emitted and multiple target at the same time but otherwise it’s aesa with sar + ins/gnss).
And still very high maneuverability despite it’s speed.
No more italian work on Stratus RS so it’s gonna be Thales seeker.
Potential booster for naval launch VLS/ramp and maybe ground launch, submarine launch not possible in case of.
For now all countries are only interested in the missile they are focusing on, and Stratus family should be able to be launched from as much platforms as possible (read this into a400m etc…).
And i guess it should be a good secondary source as it’s what MBDA said to them.
Should be Sky Guardian 200-D according to some articles.
Should also be on the AW159 Wildcat, and in the future if they follow through with adding cargo helicopters on the AW101 Merlin, Puma HC.2, and the Chinook HC.6.
8-10km ripple fired seems okay
Ive been running 2x 9M, 4x ALARM, 4x PW4 for a bit of flexibility and a bit more fun, and usually get 2-3 OSA kills with the ALARMs. Though was also doing it with @Beeschurger shaped bait which probably helped a bit too.
You cant deny the setup we were running was suprisingly effective.
Yeah it was, just need the buildings to be more vulnerable to damage and then my PW4 volleys would be the cherry on top
Im afraid we would be blitzing through the enemy lines too fast lmao
Yeah… But then there can just add more, backline is basically empty. Stick a few large factories made up of 100-150 buildings, and then the front line collapsing too quickly is a good thing, not a bad thing
Right, had all of mine eated. It was very annoying, but if it’s user error so be it.
Its probably more just bad luck.
Had a SAMP intercept all 9 the other day
If it is bad luck, then I’d very much appreciate it at some point turning around, my experience has been too consistently miserable lol
I’ve never had problems with ALARM working, though never had to use them against a SAMP/T which I would imagine have a better time intercepting them due to no cone of silence
Ramjet artillery shell, damn thats very cool
Tiberius Advances Sceptre 155mm Ramjet Munition Into Allied Production Under $500 Million Deal Tiberius Advances Sceptre 155mm Ramjet Munition Into Allied Production Under $500 Million Deal
website is pretty cool.
Woah, best site of this kind ive ever seen, but what means that “cel” value that changes em you change the target?
most interesting part about these shells is always the payload, which is not given here sadly
