- Incorrect Band Coverage: ALR-400 Missing C, D, K and L band coverage // Gaijin.net // Issues
Remarks :
As you guys know, a bug report requesting the addition of the HMSD Top Owl on the French Tiger is pending. Good news ! HMD is being added to the French Tiger helicopters with “Seek & Destroy” Major update. However, the HMS still isn’t being added (the ability to cue & slave Mistral / Stinger missiles the same way AH-1Z is able to). That’s the only fix coming for the Tigers this patch it seems …
Personally, I really hope the Devs fix the bug with the targeting position, making it impossible to guide missile near terrain as soon as possible.
Would love to see if this thread can gain some visibility, so Developers can take a look at the issues and fix some of them.
Thanks for passing by!
Thanks to @WaretaGarasu for letting me reclaim his old Dev thread about this matter.
