Enjoying sea eagle here. Funny little missile. Can deal decent damage to ships for when i’m interested in getting a 200rp 500sl match.

Yeah, thats the big shame of naval targets. They are just rewarded like any other Ai ground vehicle.
But yeah, only messed about with them a little and they seem quite good fun to use. CBA to dust off ASB at the moment, but should be interesting in that
The CIRCM or better know on this forum as the “DCIRM” on the AH64E is only used by the united states. It was made in the united states for originally logistics aircraft but they shrunk it down to fit the Apache as well other helicopters., but Israel and England both have their own homebuilt DIRCM systems compatible with the Apache.
Not really. Britain bought CIRCM, but for Chinook
Ah that i didnt know, but as far as i know for the apachee no one else uses it.
The specific version on the American 64E is indeed only used by the US, but TERMA have made an interchangable unit in their AMASE pods for the Ah64 and a couple of other fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
Admittedly this is on a Dutch AH64, however given that the British AH1 has the AMASE pod as an option I dont think its too unreasonable for the AH.2 to be given the DIRCM unit version if its winrate/ kdr falls signficiantly behind the American and what for sure, should be on the Dutch Ah64E in the French TT.

More detail on the AMASE Dircm unit.
This i was un aware of but only nations that have this pod should get it, not some random Chinese wanna be Apache…
In my current match the Stormer’s missiles were literally passing through targets. I fired at a non-maneuvering Su-25 (the missile only worked on the third hit), a straight-flying drone (couldn’t hit it), and a friendly F-4 (also couldn’t hit it). You guide the missile and clearly see the moment when it goes right through the enemy without causing any damage. Incredible!

Server replay, the first:
The second:
And then on the third hit, when the missiles didn’t even directly hit the aircraft, it ended up being shot down:

I can’t understand why, in any situation involving anti-air units, the Stormer is always the one to suffer first. If you can’t implement the system properly — then just give it a proximity fuze.
The stormer has been subject to the extremely common phase through since its introduction.
You are mistaken if you think gaijin are capable or even remotely interested in resolving the problem.
Imo, it’s the lack of prox fuse coupled with speed. The servers just can’t handle the combo. Especially in a high ping zone
I think they need to give the starstreaks a 5cm prox or something.
Aim at the nose and then after 100 ping add a metre lead per 20 ping. The missile is hugely subject to lag. If you have a server with <100 ping, use it. I stick on EU with 28.
If you can’t reliably judge a metre, half an aircraft length per 100 ping works good enough too.
Just needs LMM i feel like.

Out of left field here:
So far I like the Chieftain 900, but… Hearing the Leopard 1 engine sound while I use it is doing me in. It’s so incorrect hurts. I see there is still an open bug report from the dev server about the engine sound incorrectly being the L60 instead of the CV12, how it ended up with Leo sounds is beyond me.

that was my report
out of current engines Leopard might be the closest in game, but there might be others
the distinct sound of the CV12 in game is caused by the structure of the cooling fans iirc, not the engine itself, you can notice this with other CV12 equipped vehicles such as T-72M4CZ
Sadly i’m not aware of any video of Chieftain 900 driving with audio, though i’d be happy to be wrong

I really want to know what the issue with adding those would be.
The Leopard uses a V10, and they have an extremely distinct sound that is nothing like a V12 due to the firing order/exhaust pulses. (tangent but they have completely different harmonics, 5/10 cylinders produce a root/maj3rd harmonic and 3/6/12 cylinders produce a root/fifth)
Totally fine if they need to use a stand-in, but even something like the Continental V12 from the M60 would be more correct as they at least share something as basic as engine layout.
Gaijin and sounds are wack. Doesn’t help, they seem to like changing the same ones every few updates.
