Mistral doesn’t really make the difference between an air and ground target, it lofts either way.
An other example at long range against a drone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXMNXvCVt08
It’s not a great loft like an AIM-120, R-77 or whatever, but it still lofts a bit
As for the reason, even on short ranges, trajectory shaping can be interesting, as long as it doesn’t make you maneuver too hard. Secondly, it helps the missile clear the ground when firing at something low (or on the surface), as you pointed out.
EDIT : it’s even more visible here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNtriQ9eoSU
wrong way around, it means it can be mounted, last time i checked the f-14a wasnt in service with an IRST
Idk but the some German helicopter suggestions were ported from the old forums (RIP) which include Bo-105 PAH-2 or BK-117 suggested. Ypu might want to check them out
I specifically question why we didn’t get PAH-2 in the first place
So when do you think we will get a Typ 93 Multi-vehicle-system :3

the L-39ZO is not unarmed tho. That variant was used by Germany and Hungary and it had rockets,bombs and R-3S
Hey man I agree it would be nice even without, Devs just dont agree sadly.
what did the devs say? i didnt catch that part of the conversation
Stalin once again holds its protective hand over Russian Helicopters to let them spread fear and despair against every enemy of the gloryus CCCP.
For real why does Russian CAS gets buffed again.
Not like they had the last year or so uncontested airspace.

"Because we don’t currently have any plans for the non gun armed version. As I mentioned, its much more limited in its use and role. Given the L-39s current BR with a gun, one without is even more restricted and far less useful.
There were also other differences beyond just the gun."

It should get F&F and move to 12.3. Maws alone feels like too small of an upgrade to be 12.0 compared to 11.7.
time to bring good old VT-1 i suppose
Also if gaijin is going to make russian helis invisible to IR missiles, they would do well to model the doppler blade return, so that fox-3s can lock them no issue
Fair enough. In hindsight I shouldn’t have been too suprised it ends up being real, seeing as Gaijin doesn’t mind adding and working on borderline dead gamemodes.

If Benelux, India, or Switzerland cant have their own tech trees, and considering how Czech vehicles are being added to the USSR, its likely they won’t get their own TT either. And if we also consider the five line limit per tech tree, I have to say the only logical step forward is for the game to keep expanding through new branches within the existing national trees (infantry, submarines, carriers, etc.).
Naval was split into two branches, and submarines will probably be a third. Infantry will be its own independent branch, I’d say thats a given. Enlisted doesnt matter. Unlike wargamings model, where each game is separate, Gaijin has always boasted about having everything in a single game. Infantry is inevitable. Wargaming has no problem expanding its titles because their content is pure fantasy.
War Thunder, on the other hand, will need to introduce other military branches to keep adding content with every update. And in that sense, infantry shooters have always been popular and offer almost unlimited potential for new content.

it has a DIRCM that only works on IR so DCA in SACLOS and AGM TV like the AGM 65B can easily destroy a Mi 28NM
First off DIRCM has been in the game for years. Second I did my own testing. Compared to LIVE AGM-65G, SPIKES and likely PARS are now affected by it, KH-38MTs seeker is affected but I think its IOG keeps it on course so effectively no change. AGM-65D remains unaffected. Which points to gaijin changing AGM IR Seekers and not the DIRCM.
