G hub has literally borked a SSD on my pc before so I use a really old pre GHUB piece of logi software to rebind my G502
feel like the rda needs its gun pod to be a better cas or have better air to air endurance
Yeah…
I made an AHK script that lets me bind burst timings to individual jets - F-15E with correct CM pacing just feels right
See I’d do this if G Hub was more reliable, either the macros work as intended (rarely) or just throw a fit and won’t stop. Got stuck with an autoclicker macro the other week and had to restart my PC to stop it. The program is crap but I love my mouse so I’m stuck with G Hub.
Although was a lot better than SteelSeries program, didn’t even open 90% of the time.
It’s a pretty straight forward script, could just write it yourself and call it on a given button press outside of mouse softwares. It’s how I set up these kinds of things.
So with the Scimitar mk2 coming in, and the datamined scimi 1 with slat armour, we are likely to start seeing more of the modern slat gang right?
Something I have noted and IDK why it hasnt really come up for the American slat armour gang at all is that the STRV 103 with its variation on slat armour originally was added to the game doing effectively nothing vs HEAT-FS rounds right? And then gaijin fixed it after being proven that the system wasnt working right in game?
Why is it there hasnt been a proper push to get slat/bar/cage armour corrected to be the same as the 103C’s frontal bars? Its the same principle right? So why is it that this type of armour works correctly* on the 103C but nothing else?
Maybe its time for the Brit gang, famous for our ferocity on complaining to carry the torch forward for NATO gang?
If the 2 types of armour operate on differing principles, fair, let me know I am a dummy, but AFAIK both act by warping the charge/damaging it so it isnt as effective when going between the gaps with a direct hit still triggering it (and on the 103 a direct hit to a bar still pens).
Just I have never had good success with reporting things, and dunno if its something we just want to put a report in to be ignored or should we push a more generalised thread/move for it? Join the American complainers so to speak given they have plenty of slat armour that does nothing too (chinese chaps also iirc have some bar armour doing nothing).
Heck, not even asking for a 100% of the time works, even if its an RNG roll of like 25% of the time or something, or only working against slower projectiles like an ATGM or low/medium pressure gun like a BMP or something.
It’s still not working right.
The fence on the 103C still functions as a sheet of spaced armour, rather than slats or bars
True at times it still doesnt work right, but it at least got changed in some way code wise so that a shot to the front no longer just triggers and still autopens the hull into the tank. (IIRC the big complaint was that it would actually help rounds that would normally bounce off the sloped armour pen)
You can see that by shooting a HEAT-FS at it with the round hitting the bar and penning without issue, however not doing so if you hit the space between.
So while it still is janky, it at least works in the spirit of the system if not the true letter of it.
The screenshot above is between the bars
Also a reminder that the armour thing is buggy at times, but
First is hitting the bar, it still pens the hull fine.
Second is hitting between the gaps, it fails to pen the hull/damage the transmission.
I mean like this, slat armour just… doesnt at all. While in reality it doesnt work this way kind of, at least it works “good enough” in the game to simulate its IRL aspect.
And as I said, no other bar armour does this for some reason.
I think the HEAT non-pens after the slats on S-Tank, are more to do with the severe slope of the armour than the slats alone
It used to be though when first added that the slats literally did nothing, and any shot would still pen the hull. So I dont think that is the case.
Especially considering the same thing happens when you fire at the lowest levels and its still penning fine when you HIT the bar vs between the bar (where it doesnt pen) at the same level.
Also, we at least know its effective vs RPG 7, SPG-9 and so on family right?
So should work vs BMP 1s at least IRL?
In game, nope.png
They (STRV103C vs Scimmie Mk.2) have identical armour for the gaps, Although the STRV has the bars modelled as High Hardness Rolled Armour which might actually be why? grille_structural_steel appears to basically be nothing?

Yeah it should be effective against the BMP-1’s PG-9 rounds, they’re basically a PG-7VM warhead with a different propulsion system
I dont know if we ever used the kormoran but i just saw some test footage of it being used on an f-104 being tested against a Sherman on land? Would be kinda nice to see more planes with asm’s like the harrier.

Seen a Westland Wasp today and a Swordfish flown by Navy Wings.
Video was from from iPhone but got about a thousand photos of the two on my camera I got to sort through.
[Edit] Correction 1,913 photos to sort through of them.

Haven’t gone through the Swordfish photos yet but here’s the Westland Wasp flown by Navy Wings.
Specifically it’s a HAS Mk.I variant painted as 422 of HMS Aurora Flight.
This specific Wasp, XT420, played a medivac role during the Falklands onboard HMS Hecla.

Well, asked, and got an answer about if we need more data on the scimi 2 spall lining.
So I guess anyone with any good pics/data use the previous reports to help back yourself up and punt it in to hopefully get spall lining before it goes live and is forgotten for 5 years?
