Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 5)

It doesnt even need the apfsds the only thing which is still a rather needed addition is its heli sensor. That shouldnt even affect its br that much maybe it will go to 9.7 with it but that really whont matter.

Does it scan 360° or is it just forward facing?

lol no no, brits use degrees the other way. so in WT terms its 30°

sub calibre vs full calibre… its obvious lol

SAPHE* with sucky pen

did it ever use the apfds shell in its service or is it just a capability?

With the amount of pen the Begleits AP round has it should already be 9.7.
Personally I’d even put it up to 10.0.

If he receives APFSDS, it will surely increase, even if he maintains current penetration levels. But I think he can do well up to 10.3. Beyond that, he’ll suffer greatly with his I-TOW.

Begleit was never in service to begin with.

The 2S38 has AP with HE filler, not talking about the SAPHEI on the Begleit

i suspect sector scanning based on the doppler shift of heli blades and then it locks on via IR track

Should be 360 its very similar to the Stormer HVM

ah ok

Interesting, could be that they just haven’t found a way to properly implement it then

no thats completely different

they already do. its basically radar search, IR track

Oh, how so?

stormer has IR search and IR track.
begleit has radar sector scanning for rotating blades of a helicopter and IR track

They should also add HOT missiles to Begleitpanzer.

yeah it had em irl

It could be, although I think it’s intentional. They want to keep it in that BR, because they nerfed the engine last time, taking as a reference the same advertising brochure where it indicates it can fire APFSDS.
