What is the difference between the MIM-72E and MIM-72C missiles on Chaparral? I can’t find any difference in the card. So what’s the point of spending research points on the modification that unlocks the MIM-72E if the missiles are identical?
Smokeless motor I think, but dont quote me on that
In Google and WT Wiki yes, but in game these missiles are identical

I think there is a bit of a fight proving that with Gaijin or something.

It’s not a fight, it’s them either being lazy or intentionally obtuse, frankly not sure which is worse. The same reason the AIM-54 and AIM-120 still have smokey motors.

They know it is bugged. There is an 8 month old bug report that was accepted.
They used to have smokeless motors. They even dropped the br of the chaparral due to the bug.

its bugged it doesnt have one ingame, it used to but now it doesnt
just use the stock one it’s free. same with the ISR version, it gets the G variant, which has IRCCM and better lock range. still same speed and G load, all for the price just shy of 1k SL.
i, ve used most of the SAM/SPAAG around that br and the IMP Chaparal is the worst of the lot:
- very tall vehicle;
- crew is exposed to lmg fire;
- without IRCCM, impossible to lock, while flares are active;
- vehicle is not very mobile, only wheeled SPAAG’s are worse in my opinion.
