This is from Rheinmetall concerning their development of FAP ammo:
Its pretty silly at this point that most BK27 users in-game lose 1/4 of their ammo to practice rounds, since they do just about no damage at all, while the Gripens have all their practice rounds replaced with PELE rounds in-game (copy paste of SAPHEI in gaijins model).
that i found, but specialy if that variant got tracers sadly aint mentioned
Ah, well imo tracer or no tracer isnt important, i’d rather just not lose 1/4th of my ammunition reserve.
well yeh, if the bm09, got tracers we would have an argument for gajin to replace practice rounds with fap-t
and its not even like that round isnt already modeled. On another 27mm mauser.
Gaijins lazyness is really annoying at times
(Just look at the 30mm of the Puma and KF41 in Module View)
THATS Lazy )))
If im not mistaken, that might not be a German only thing anymore. I think there was something not that long ago about the RAF getting it too
Well germany specialy has a parlament vote for the funding of the AMK for the geeman EFT.
Here is the question how that relates for other nations. They joining development. Or buying more expensive. Which seems weird if they wanna get it either way…
It goes into part of the P4E, but doesnt mean every country chooses to adapt, just like Pirate and the LWS. Right now seems weird considering only germany is funding it, (as far as i am aware)
you should have just used your gun at that point instead of wasting a missile ngl
I think the point is that you shouldnt be forced to only be able to use a gun against helis, when ARH and Brimstones should be effective but currently arent due to bugs and game limitations
Not to mention that any remotely aware heli (particularly an mi28) can use their built in aimbot to just liquefy you with the 30 if you try to go guns.
Yep, and the fact that helis seem to be quite resistant to gun strafes as well. Had more than a few take a stream of lead and then just continue on like I was firing tictacs at them
TGP not locking the new broken helicopter. How dare you try and counter this
You get pilot sniped by a good Mi 28 pilot. They have APDS in the gun for some reason
APDS isnt the most effective against planes
and it could get APFSDS
The gun can fire APFSDS…But not from a helicopter, no one wants 30mm SABOT Petals bouncing off the Helicopter. And yes APDS travels faster has a flatter trajectory and more importantly armour piercing it will go through the nose cone and into the pilot leading to an instant kill on the pilot. It also shreds other helicopters it is THE best gun on a helicopter in the game, well Gaijin nerfed HEDP rounds on an the AH-64 and increased the spread.
No other nation in game uses APDS rounds on their Helicopters
Sliiightly more importantly… 2A42 can’t fire 3UBR8. I’d have to find the patent that documented it but it’s the same reason BMP-2 irl are confined to UBR6. The sabot interferes with the muzzle brake and leads to a CEP50 of 1 metre at 100m (practically a shotgun).
Ha! and here we are trying to get a training round removed from Typhoon Russian helicopters are using rounds they physically couldn’t
Yeah I don’t know what they have been doing but every update the plane targeting pods are getting worse at getting locks on vehicles, both air and ground. Can’t get a solid kick on tanks beyond like 8-10km as of now which is pretty stupid
