So with testing, unless I got super lucky, it seems the missile actually does something now to targets of certain angles. It still cant chase worth a damn or side on really, but if the plane is overhead/coming at you and you aim specifically for a wing you can kind of take them out.
Still massively inferior to the dev server version, and ofc if you hit centre of a plane theres a strong chance it will be fine, same for the Scout, you need to specifically aim for the tail section or its munitions to try and knock it out.
In all cases I have noted hitting centre of the target or the cockpit does nothing.
edit: tried in live, you “can” kill things, but its stupidly hard to use to do so. Hopefully more work going into it otherwise its BR needs a giga drop lmao. It took 2 missiles to take out a FW 190 xD
Just tried in the test drive and to be honest it seems exactly the same, direct hits do no damage to the IL-28 and it took me 5-6 missiles to take the Scout helicopter down.
This isn’t my report of course, but this quite clearly shows the Tortoise is massively underperforming in terms of armour. I really hope they fix the armour following this report as it would make the tortoise almost on par with the T-95 in terms of armour
It would completely remove several of its weak spots such as the flat part of the left side superstructure, which is currently 152mm flat, with this going up to around 255-260mm of armour. The flat part around the gun which is 215mm would also go up to 294mm, not much is going through that.
Its because it was modeled wrong, so they played it once went this thing is ass and than never touched it again.
The Harrier 2 is actually capable of going toe to toe with the Typhoon in a close combat situation AND its still artificially limited and nerfed.
The Harrier 2 comfortably turns inside the Typhoon at a similar rate all the while being artificially limited to 18 degrees AOA when IRL it can do like 30 comfortably.
Even before the buffs the Harrier IIs were pretty good, now they’re great.
It’s a shame the buffs weren’t in the changelogs, as most people genuinely just don’t realise they got buffed. The 9.7 Harriers are absolutely amazing atm and nobody seems to know.
Definitely not updated, took 6 missiles to critical and aircraft and 4 to knock out a drone… Which still had to crash as it still wasn’t damaged enough to count as a kill prior.
The fox and scimitar getting their traverse speed halved because one guy made a bug report about how he “feels” it isn’t right whilst also admitting he doesn’t have any evidence for his feelings. Reminds me of pic related, must’ve just been very high quality “feelings” or the threshold is subterranean when it suits.
