wait around 2-3 months i have a feeling there will be some mods being shown the American ones wont have. Iron Fist and the likes
I brought up yesterday about Moog displaying their new Starstreak/Martlet “Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform” at DVD2024, and it appears this is it.
- Ridgeback Platform
- 8 x Starstreak / Martlet
- 1 x 30mm Autocannon
- 7.62mm Machinegun
- Advanced optics included
The Starstreaks look like they might be mockups, bit still cool.

huh, I would have though the RWS would have been towards the front like the german ones.
Looks like the vehicle behind it. you can see its nose to the right of the turret

i wish we could have javelin but i have a sneaking suspicion we will not see it for quite a while
They’ve been referenced in existing brochures
and the lighter Flexible Mission Platform
If we can have Spike ingame I cant see any reason why Javelins wouldn’t come soon
Thats cool, they list both HVM and LMM too
STARStreak and LMM are interchangable. If it can fire one it can fire the other.

Also a qustion, when was name changed from StarStreak to STARStreak?
I believe both names have been used for a long time.
STARStreak appears to be the “real” name but Starstreak is still used interchangably
probably something to do with the 1000’s of bug reports they will get with video evidence
The fact that the Javelin’s Field Manual is Class A
Means that its not much of an issue of at least modeling the basic variant correctly, the later ones are a little sketchy but aren’t that different, and even then would have to pay the A2G F&F / Contrast seeker tax that exists solely so they don’t completely dumpster those that rush into things.

Does anyone know what these two “bombs” are on the Lightning?
I’ve searched a lot and cannot find anything on them, I was thinking they were possibly napalm/incendiary or fuel tanks.
Great, I may try and bug report to see if we can get them added to the Lightning F.53
That would give it more use in arb as you could take out a base while also having 2 Red Tops.
Do you know the weapons exact name? I cannot find much info on it online
I also noticed these:
Is that also a fire bomb?
