The Adens always 1 shot for sure, but ive still not got used to them.skill issue but lack of tracers always throws me off. im assuming since gunfights happen less in 12.3 and i never used it when it was lower. but the Gau12 is DEVASTATING as so fun to use.
im looking forward to using them for the suprise kills in the T.10 at 11.3 (when it gets BOL ofc)
If only they could figure out how to keep the sabot from flying into the intakes
I believe in Gau-12 supremacy
On both AV8B+ and LAV-AD
Hits so much harder than M61 Vulcan and reaches out further too.
why cant they make airplane compatible APFSDS :(
0.75km shot too haha
this should definitely get M919
Beautiful shot in both meanings of the word
Does the LAV-AD get the same ammo as the Stormer AD?
I’ve found the gun to be pretty lacklustre even against planes
FOD, foreign object damage :-)
Airplane engine doesn’t like to inhale bits of sabot
true, but they could for sure give LAV-AD M919
Yeah they get the same belts
I guess it depends on what the target is, Su25 for instance doesn’t seem like dying
I remember when the HVAP had ~91mm pen
Ah that was good times
Tbf ive hit su-25s with a tow before and done nothing so its not really an exclusive issue
Dunno, I seem to be mostly getting regular hits when using the HVAP belt and the SAPHEI/HEI belt lacks the punch of the 35mm SPAAs
Also, on a sidenote, it’s good to know that the LAV-AD has slightly better elevation and way more ammo ontop of having access to the Hydra rockets.
Why couldn’t we get the Stormer AD with the GAU-13? :(
they can add the APEX ammo made for F-35, that should work with GAU-12
Don’t know what that is lol
Hes referring to the blazer 30 version of the stormer AD which had a 30mm installed in the 25s place
armor peircing explosive. basically just more advacned SAPHEI
That sounds like it would have worse muzzle velocity and/or worse filler compared to HEI, which is the optimal ammo to use against planes usually
looking forward to f35 with gau22 (4 Barrel version of gau12)
