British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

hmm, it was planned, swear i remember something saying it would block vertical traverse

Anyone else struggling to actually fire the ALARM’s in the dev server? They need a radar lock apparently but that’s a bit tricky to do with the GR.4 only having a sea search radar.

As they say there they seem to want to add them to all vehicles before making any changes, which hasn’t yet happened.

Currently they don’t, but this seems to infer in the future they may. However, this would be a blanket change to every MBT not just the Challenger 2s.

They arent current modeled as ARM.

They are reskinned AMRAAMs.

So you can lock onto an aircraft using ACM and fire them like an AMRAAM.

So at the moment, we have the lowest BR AMRAAM slingers in the game (on dev)

The funny thing is that they actually outperform the AMRAAM currently, they have much better pull from my testing

It’s a shame they won’t stay like this

Would be hilarious in ARB. But yeah.

Or better yet, if AMRAAM got that kind of handling

It really should

I always forget we have a Tornado with ARAAMS, they just feel like such medicore weapons I never consider using it

Yeah. F3 Late is an aircraft I just cant quite bring myself to play. Not just the compression, but its just… not that big of an upgrade over the F3. Which sounds kinda silly, but the Skyflash STs + Foxhunter combo at 12.0 is proportionally a lot stronger for what it actually faces.

Maybe with a BOL overhaul and Phimat pods, I’ll dust it off

ssh, can still use them as AAMs with its radar bands

Curious if anyone has in depth info about the internals of how the Ukrainians converted their Scimitars to using 14.5mm KPVT over RARDENs?

Was thinking it could be a fun suggestion for addition for a lower tier scimitar. Obviously knowing ammo placement etc would likely help push the suggestion on.

You sure they refitted Scimitars and not Spartans?

Edit - No - you’re right.

Right gents, here’s the next round;

GP 1900 lb bomb missing
GP 4000 lb bomb missing

These two are late GP bombs currently not present in the game, with the GP 1900 being an early war heavy bomb replaced by the 2000 lb HC, and the GP 4000 being a 1943 bomb of which only around 200 were ever dropped before being replaced by the 4000 lb HC.

Would be an early unlock or stock bomb for their respective aircraft, with later unlocks being the HC 2000 or HC 4000.

Thankfully, that concludes the GP bombs.

Looks cold, think its an adaptation of the weather.

You require the targetting pod ingame as the Brimstones we have require a laser to guide them

If we got the FnF Radar guided Brimstones, then yes, you could take that loadout

Not used in RAF service on the Jaguar, that would be the Jaguar A in the French Tree

i understand that but the alarm missiles aren’t on the right pylons

oh really? well at least we could get it on nimrod then as apparently that carried it

Yep, also Buc S2B.

Jaguar GR1A could get ALARM though
