effects heavier ATGMs more than lighter ones, so if you’ve only used Milans and such it’s understandable if you didn’t notice. IIRC doesn’t effect barrel launched ATGMs yet though
Mainly use TOW or the BILL, but havent touched the BILL since patch.
I still find Milans to be pretty bad tbh, best atgm i have is the french barrel launched one on the amx 10rc lol, the thing still launches into the ground as gaijin think every atgm has a non existent dip to it for some reason…

Eh, personally I find the milans not too bad but that might be 8.3 britain being one of my go to line ups talking. though in my experience the ZT3A2 ATGMs have a very nice ballistic launch where the dip is further out than a tow or something, now the chassis is a pos, I’d love them to add the Badger variant with the ZT3 ATGMs, has fire on the move too!
You can aim the ZT3A2 ATGMs lmao? they are probably the worst at over correcting at ranges further out than 800m, if the guy stops good luck getting the missiles back on track.
Ok just got the desert warrior since I was in no rush to get it, how bad is it?
…bad the apfsds is like shooting pebbles, and its slower then the standard warrior… yeh… least you have a tow, oh the tows are worse then milans oops

So the base warrior triumphs again.
Should have kept the AP from the dev
I unironically get better post pen and pen overall from the bog standard warrior… Guess we gotta wait for the Ajax bros… or the Warrior CSP …sigh

I’ve got it ready to buy but I’m not playing it until it gets it’s spall liner and the atgms are fixed
It’s pretty shit TBH.
They screwed up it’s mobility so it’s… not fast. They didn’t give it the round they said they would so it’s gun is awfuil and what they did to the missiles is just tragic and stupid.
So I’ve played a few games with the Desert Warrior. It does lack mobility but once it speeds up its quite fast, the gun is pretty bad against MBT’s but even the default belt is ok against light tanks and IFV’s my only problem is post pen damage which will get worse with the APFSDS. The TOW’s aren’t as bad as I was expecting, but they are really painful if the target is moving.
Overall, I’m actually having some fun with it but the base warrior is just better, you get a better round, a more usable missile and better mobility, it might be lacking a stabiliser but I never found that to be a problem, it is a pretty stable gun.
To make it a good vehicle rather than a mediocre one just give it M919, the extra 10mm of pen would make it worth taking over the base warrior and it’s not like they haven’t given rounds to vehicles using the same gun. cough ariete with DM53 cough

Hey @Gunjob,
Sorry to bother you, but would it be worth bug reporting that the standard Warrior IFV sight should be stabilised? The main armament isn’t stabilised, but the sight was in order to permit observation whilst on the move. Is this something the devs would consider? I don’t believe they have previously is all.

It would certainly be nice if the sight was fixed but the crosshairs moved.
This is similar to the AMX 30 series of tanks i think, stabilised sight but the gun is fixed, the fcs determines the perfect time to fire making firing on the move extremely difficult. Chances of Gaijin adding a feature like a stabilised sight would be extremely low imo.
AMX 30 doesn’t possess such a feature. It is a myth that is spread around much too often. However, the AMX 30 ACRA is in a similar position to the Warrior. The sight is stabilised and the missile is laser guided; therefore, it’s able to accurately fire on the move. But this hasn’t been implemented previously.
Interestingi didn’t know that, now let me play my uno reversal card… I did say i think XD lol but seriously seeing your other research I’ll take your word as fact.
New British Army shows that the Ajax seems to have some decent gun depression
Do we have any hard stats for that?
