That thing on the bottom is an abomination and we should kill it with fire before it lays eggs and multiplies further.
Isn’t that payload right near the antenna? Looks like a EO/IR sensor.
Just remember this stuff when we yoink all the US gear out of other trees in air. Many top tier nations jets, gone.
While I am for nations having their own stuff, only. I recognize it doesn’t make for great gameplay. I think a lot of people make an argument like you but don’t consider or want it to be applied everywhere, only unilaterally.
no, but 2 extra 12.7, better mobility and better protection do. the grass windows would not be that much of a weakness. it does not mean the gunner will stick his face to the window. they are much lower, the head barely standing out of the armor side. and the sight is right in front of them. it was only designed to let them see the sky, not the ground. the gunners there will not be any more exposed than the gunner behind the M45 turret on the M16 MGMC. and it has the advantage of at least preventing the overpressure from the small HE rounds. so good luck getting a headshot of the commander and loader. i would put my bet on punching through the armor.
see what happens when I compare it to the SPAA of the same type… 6x 12.7mm is pretty much better than 2x 20mm of the WW2 level. all will depend on the turret rotation speed. and i expect it to be something like 60°/sec
I would say it depends on the SPAA. All of the 40mm equipped SPAA that lack proxy rounds really struggle with hitting planes but does quite well when used as if it were a light tank (Mostly because of the comparatively low fire rate and inability to blanket cover parts of the sky).
So some SPAA really do perform better when used against tanks.
but then it would not fire the derby missle, more likely the python 5.
since to launch the Derby with only an EO/IR sensor, would mean WT must implement a system for vertical launch and lock on after launch guided by the EO/IR sensor,
because if i understand the fox3 current ingame correct, they get thier initial guidence information by riding the radar beam of the TWS or Radar lock until they reach thier own radar distance, the SPYDER would fire the derby up and must guide it without radar to the intendet target, which the missle locks onto, which could work, but then the missle should lock on the first radar signature it picks up, since there is no radar based confirmation.
if we come to the conclusion that it should fire the python 5, well we do not thave the python 4 ingame jet, therefore python 5 missles are daydreaming at its best
As if I believe that. I had plenty of perfectly fine posts with lots of “hearts” being hidden by “the community”. Usually happens when I call out company hypocrisy or disagree with a mod.
This time it was because the C(disease) word, wasn’t it?
I doubt it would be enough as it is completely closed. you would need to be very near and hit directly. you will need to have at least enough penetration to go through the armor as well. it means at least a 90mm HE. Also keep in mind, that the Crusader AA Mk.II has an open hatch on the forehead which can easily be over-pressure even with 37mm yet it causes it no issue.
the glass canopy is a fake weakness. you would have much more chance to just deal with it by shooting the turret and penetrating it. besides, it’s not like the 12.7mm was so feared by a tank.
the aircraft will not have much chance to accurately hit the cupola. the HE who might not land on the cupola will do nothing to the crew. this includes the rockets and bombs that are exploding close enough to over-pressure and can’t penetrate the armor.
France was actively involved in the SK105. they did build and adapted the turret. Germany had nothing to do with the SK105 yet it had it because… if they didn’t germany would cry once again…
the Skink was not having anything to do with USA. it was built at the Montreal Locomotive workshop, designed by the British, funded by the British, and tested by the British.
if you start to claim every vehicles base on the origin of their part, you will have the vehicles everywhere. the 75mm M3 gun used in the Sherman was based on the M1897 which is a French gun, the steel used in Germany in 1935 was American and every tank used Arabian fuel… what people do with those things is not give any credit to the country where they belong to. because the Skink was built on a Ram chassis do not make it more American than the Sherman Firefly.
the M3 half-track chassis is far from having similar mobility to the M24 Chaffee. the halftrack is slow to accelerate, has no traction, and loses of lot of its speed when turning. to be honest, you are the first one i ever met who thinks the M16 MGMC has mobility as good as the M24… are you even playing those?
hit the windows as much you want, the head of the commander and loader aren’t behind but bellow.
with 60°/sec it will easily end up at 4.0 or more. If Gaijin put it lower, it will be corrected in the following patch as it would overperform and people will keep taking it at higher BR. The M16 MGMC is kept in the line-up until the M163 is available, and like it or not, it does the job well all the way. the T77E1 will be even better in all aspects.
this is during a travel position where everyone i safe. in a fighting position, they go down behind cover. just like the preview shown in the video. they will be using the episcope to see. which means they will be much lower.
