British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Also, most images I have seen of the plane from WWI seem to show it with a twin lewis mount on the nose ring position, would be a thing to report too if anyone finds an OEM xD.

Guys could you ask your government to buy like 1 rafailure? I feel like it’s the fastest way to finally get it nerfed.

Nahz we’ll just get a C&P Indian one sooner rather than later and then it will get nerfed hard Vis Britain tax

And i Believe you can see the mounting point for Two here

can’t wait to see this thing on the H.P.12, it’d turn it into a low tier GRB gem, even more so since the Chesapeake lost its 1000lb bomb

Yeah, this plus useable defensive lewis guns over the rear zone would make it a really worthwhile pick up imo.

Still feels so weird no lewis gun firing over the tail, like you would think that they would “know” this would be a major issue location and given you can find sources of the complaints for the V/1500 tail specifically causing issues for defensive firing which lead to a redesign… well, it would have likely been something commented on how “this massive area we are attacked from, well we cant return fire…” and stick another gun on it if it was an issue

@Smin1080p_WT sooo its been a good 2 weeks since this post and we still have yet to see the patch go live, did it run into more issues being fixed or is gaijin just… not pushing it to live yet?

Given that the Rapier is unplayable (not even meme, this thing cant even shoot down prop planes/unarmoured tiny helis without multiple direct hits yet alone hopium vs jets or hinds) and its next to 3 weeks since the patch was released, it does feel like gaijin just… dont really care about the issue.

Zenturion even made a video a few hours ago talking about how the Rapier STILL isn’t fixed…

It’s kind of comical at this point

Yeah thats why I thought to come back and ask. You can see my comment on there most likely lol.

I dont think they care by this point friend just look how long the HVM took to be ‘fixed’ or the ch2s ‘fix’

We could always rabble in British fashion to get their attention?

How about we try to equal the volume of whoever got the French AMD in the German tree.

Hello. The fix will be in an upcoming QoL update.

  • Rapier Mk. 1E, Rapier Mk. 2 (Tracked Rapier):
    • shrapnel count increased more than 8x
    • shrapnel penetration and and damage slightly lowered
    • explosive radius halved
    • explosive offset increased a bit

hopefully this fixes it

Yey, hopefully soonTM then xD
