Just want some opinions. Maybe an addition to stop Vikhr spam.
Description:
The LMUR missile is a state-of-the-art weapon system designed for precise, long-range strikes. Its inclusion in War Thunder would align with the game’s commitment to historical and technical accuracy, reflecting modern advancements in military technology. The LMUR could be added to specific high-tier helicopters such as a Ka-52M or the Mi-28NM or even the Mi-8NMP-2.
Reflecting the real-world technology, the LMUR missile in War Thunder could feature a combination of inertial navigation, GPS, and terminal guidance. This would allow players to engage targets at long ranges with high precision. The terminal guidance phase, using EO/IR sensors, could be simulated by allowing players to manually guide the missile during its final approach. Being IR guided it could be disturbed by smoke grenades or if the target goes behind cover. This would be the USSR heli trees first fire and forget ATGM.
Involving the community in the development and testing of the LMUR missile could provide valuable feedback. Hosting a special event or a dev server trial period where players can test and provide input on the LMUR’s performance would ensure its successful and fair integration into the game.
