is the spear rack found in the files the "universal* typhoon rack? was trying to find photos of typhoons with twin paveway mounts but not much luck
The game uses the SPEAR launcher which is almost identical to the L3Harris twin rack in appearance. You won’t find many photos as it’s a prototype launcher iirc not a full production system.

for all sense and purposes, that was politcal promotion.
In all honestly it was completly rheinmetall developed. they were already in the last steps when it all happend
jup, in real active use, that will be a massive hindrance
I mean yeah, like i said we slapped “CR3” in the gun’s name, when Rhm had a better LEP proposal BAe basically withdrew Black Night and then the RBSL joint venture was formed
It should be noted that this data most likely dates back from CTC40’s debuts
One guy got the info from CTAI at Eurosatory and it is apparently 900-10000 shots depending on the ammo you fire. 900 if you fire only APFSDS, 10000 if you fire only HE (and its derivatives) or normal AP
For comparison, the bofors mk4 naval gun (and therefore mainly using HE and derivative shells), is rated for 5000 rounds, so CTC40 does not seem out of place in this regard compared to other guns of the same caliber

Can they smack tanks?
Haven’t been able to test but they have a 2.5km lock range, its possible the IR mode is placeholder though
They look very placeholder. They are currently a copy-paste of the AGM-119A Penguin with the following changes:
- 3D model changed
- Diameter changed
- Length Changed
- Mass changed
- Explosive mass / type changed
Everything else (seeker, motor, etc.) is identical

Should Sea Eagles have sea skimming code and should they spin like that?
Yes but I play naval EC so I am a bit biased.
If they’re a copy of the penguin they’ll have the same behaviour ig
Dont think Penguins sea skims currently
Yes
No
Both will be reported
Thank you, didnt think it looked right
What was supposed to change?
If it got a new logic on its approach and terminal phases. Akin to how the Kh59 is behaving
First few Sea Eagle reports in:
