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)

Me using AP to pilot snipe everything in the air (teammates included)

I mean, 35mm is a higher caliber than 25mm and with two guns you end up with RoF not too far off the Gau-12.

What I meant is I like the Gau-12 for what it is, very capable for it’s caliber and it’s light/compact form factor.

GAU-12 is my ideal aircraft gun, and while not superior to 2x 35mm on dedicated gun SPAAGs, I like the overall package it comes in on the LAV-AD. It comes on a very mobile chassis with Hydras, Stingers, and good thermals. It’s an anti-anything machine.

I understand that it’s difficult to unlock the full potential of this gun on the Stormer AD. They absolutely should be different BRs.

Fair, disintegrating the head of the pilot is a valid solution as well

To me it looks like one of those spaceships you would get in a on-rails shooter (stuff like Starfox)
Or something straight out of an anti-gravity racing game

That actually looks hella sleek

I’m beginning to think whoever made that mockup were inspired by this ADFX Morgan


The inward canted vertical stabilizers and bulbous engine nacelles give it away xD
