the shape of the stinger launcher reminds me of the New Orleans class in Star Trek…

Everything about the vehicle looks right lol except the turret looks smooshed down

Yeah and the turret doesn’t look to scale with the photos above, so the one bit we need to scale haha.

Is this intentional or a bug? Even without the targeting pod, you can click the keybind ‘Targeting Optics View’ and use it. I tested with the Buccaneer S2.B and Tornado GR.1. However, to make it work, you first need to enter in the ‘Optical Seeker View’ by pressing ‘V’, for example, and then use the ‘Targeting Optics View’ keybind.

Spoiler

Buccaneer S.2B: 3 AJ.168 + Datalink pod

Tornado GR.1: 3 PGM 2000 + 1 PGM 500

90% bug

Is it historical for the PHIMAT Pod on the Jaguars to only be able to be carried on the right hand side pylon?

Presumably it should be possible to have one on each side and would be a small but nice buff, especially for the Jaguar IS

Yep, just the one and on the right.

Been checking out the new stormer, and it seems a little lack luster. 500 rounds of 25mm sperated into 2 belts with 2 stingers per reload. Compared to the LAV, its slower, doesnt get hydras, has 620 less rounds for the 25. It seems more comparable to the gepard 1a2 rather than the lav, although i guess moving it down to 9.7 wouldnt do much as theres no line up there anymore, but maybe would allow for some use with the 9.3 (uptiering the lineup not moving it to 9.3) lineup as it would mean not facing 11.0?

It seems like its better in the anti-air role than the LAV-AD as it has a pretty good radar while the LAV-AD has no radar. You can detect planes basically as soon as they spawn, which is great. Sure it has less Stingers available to fire, but I rarely find myself needing to fire more than two stingers in a row and 8 total is enough.

However, against tanks, the Stormer feels really weak. Of course its an SPAA, but it would be nice if it maybe got APDS to help it defend itself a bit better.

small decrease in Spawn cost perhaps

Interesting
