yeah and then so many people cried and they became crippled
i probably was in the group that cried about them. they were absolutly annoying, not in a realistic way. Mavericks on the other hand should be fixed but cas in general should be nerfed
I do hope they fix it. It’s a really iconic SAM, but…There’s so much work to be done.
It still sets off MAWS which defeats its whole design goal (look at Ukraine footage if you want proof it doesn’t lmao)
It still swaps tracking if the enemy does anything like fire missiles
It still phases through the enemy
it still does no damage when it hits
It’s a real lost cause I think and they ought to just give LMM
but just saying tow 2b arent supposed to hit enemies directly right xD they supposed to explode above them, if they killed on direct impact that is a whole other problem
no but like, even if it was a direct hit they would kill. other times despite the entire copper stream missing and hitting the track, it would still kill it from god knows what (1-2 meters above the roof as well)
not really, since at those BR ranges TOWs exist and can be supplemented for IR SAMs along with higher caliber HE-VT shells
that might have worked pre missle nerf, but in todays age with how much tows wooble that isnt realy viable against aircraft
really? I have had no issue with em, anyway I head off the forums for now
Pretty sure they are equipped with UV sensors that detect missile launches, it’ll detect missiles no matter what.
shooting straight maybe, but if you need to move them they get realy bad
I think you and me guide missiles in different ways, anyway this will be my last message for the evening (I would say the reason is that it is late but my sleep cycle is off by half a day)
It’s a laser warning detector that senses: Rangefinding laser, Beam Riding laser and Tracking laser.
The flares and chaff are deployed when the system switches over from a rangefinder or tracking laser to Beam Riding laser.
The ADAD is designed to fire a guidance laser, below any detectable frequency, effectively failing to set off MAWS.
You can see this happen in footage of KA-50s, KA-52, Mi-28 and other russian MAWS equipped aircraft being snapped in half by Ukraine operated Stormer HVM. No MAWS is ever triggered
Also Stormer has no sustainer motor, so it shouldn’t set off that kind of sensor
Barak is wrong but F-16C could carry AIM-7F+ missiles.
If we get the first Su-24 model (Su-24 sans suffix) like how we’re getting the F-111A first, it’s going to be a little funny. Its only form of self air defense is going to be two R-55M missiles which are beam-riding RS-2US missiles converted to infrared homing.
Yugoslavia.
I’ve sent DM to you a bit ago m8
Its an Interdictor. likely going to be at a similar BR to the F-111. It doesnt need any form of A2A power to do its job.
I knew you’d come.
I’m saying the missile is funny, it and the MiG-21bis were the only ones to use it.
