Yeah they do basically no damage sadly, the 2E is the same
I just hit a MI-24 directly in the face with TWO Rapiers and it did nothing.
Not once have I got a one hit kill yet, it makes the Starstreak look like a weapon of mass destruction

So what exactly do we do, kinda hard to make a report on it given no idea whats “actually wrong”, they will just ignore a “pls mr snail, it takes 50% of the missiles just to cripple a light helicopter, can we do some damage?” xD
Also wonder how long it will take before gaijin do anything given that its likely to be underused.
I guess we need to make a compilation of it not doing damage in situations when it should, such as directly hitting an Mi-24
Does gaijin even model blast frag warheads?
Just hit an SU-7 with FIVE missiles and it was still flying

Maybe we can badger gaijin to just make the Mk1 missile a impact only fuse, it would prob be more useful.
Think we should make a new thread for it? Or keep it here?
It will not be.
Given the likely issue we have right now is the missile is exploding too far away, it prob would be for a lot of people.
Not untill you realize how many shots you would miss, in any missile, without the proxy. HVM v2?
Took 5 missiles in test drive with rapier to shoot down the wasp 🤣
TBH I was usually fine using the HVM, the problem was I would hit the enemy plane and due to not exploding, it would be fine.
The HE in Rapier would fix that a lot.
Well, i was not, that is why i would like to avoid it as much as possible.

Could leave the Mk1 with a very very short prox fuse, so it was nearly impact fuse only, but would deal with the phasing issue
The problem is, it takes 4-5 missiles to take down a light heli, its effectively pointless right now.
I just want them to roll back whatever they did to the dev version lol xD but yeah that too
Nah, its against the ToS for Britain to have good stuff on the live server. Its only allowed to exist on the Dev Server

You can make a report pointing to MBDA saying Rapier Mk.2 has a “>90%” single shot kill probability and showing that is clearly not the case in game.

I have had the same issue in killing recon drones with the osa in that the missile fuses but rarely much damage
That’s hilarious
lolol. yep its british, no doubt about it.
