Did Spey phantoms ever get RWR displays for the front pilot?
@da12thmonkey do you have any source that says if TOTE on Tracked Rapier used TICM II or something else?

Nice, i will try. They should not be able to deny that as for the rapier 2000
Well yeah, that’s GEC saying that TOGS for the Challenger and Chieftain, and Rapier’s thermal imager were pretty much the same imagers, as they were all going into service in 1984
The one on Tracked Rapier just looks like a land-based version of the GSA.7 tracker we had on Royal Navy ships like the Peacock-class since 1983 while Rapier 2000’s big ball-shaped one is more or less GSA.8 which came along in 1985. Both of those used TICM-II

Gaijin belives Tracked Rapier used something else. Dunno what ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Said system should allow for a easy tracking of a airplane during rain.
The Fox/Scim still have 30 degrees a second turret rotation, while its a nerf it really hasn’t affected them that much, the Fox is still really good
Might as well drop the rest of my Rapier reports here

Tracked Rapier missile not guiding over frontal arc
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/d00woCG6Uc6G
This one is really annoying. I hope they prioritize it. It makes it impossible to guide the missiles from the front and some side angles too
Yea, it is very annoying, expecially considering both the turret and the antenne could depress just fine.
Another important Rapier bug

What about the tracking that doesn’t work? Currently all SACLOS missiles, including the Rapier have been nerfed to unrealized standards since the summer 2023 update.
and they denied it.

@Gunjob could you please take a look at it? There is no way that they ordered TICM II for a Rapier 2000 in 1984. The only Rapier system that used TICM II at that timeframe was the TOTE for the Tracked Rapier, the first version of a Rapier to have a TVD, introduced to it in the 1985.

new bug report for the cheiftain
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/LNfvJcBVBEGX
if L15A5 is modelled correctly with its DU cap it should have ~80mm more pen, which would allow it to go through T-72s and T-64s within 1000m

Thanks.
Sims show it shouldn’t be going through a T-72 Ural at 600m. Bearing in mind T-72 overperforms in game…

No need to be a party pooper, just go comment +1 on the report, the mk.5 needs that shell
So?
