I think they will add emplacement as we have ammo crates right now
Simple to make into the game. Elegant. Yet there will be hoards of people crying, because they can’t push 2 buttons to place it into the ground
I mean that’s the tradeoff of using a static SAM system, there isn’t really a way around it, best case is you can stay put and shoot or move and be defenceless
If they add rewards for shooting down enemy munitions that may help
All this talk of SPAA, but still no buddy lasing implemented for other jets, drones (if they can), and ground vehicles
Also I think they should let you “lock onto” that last recorded position of vehicles that have been scouted through the aircraft ground map thing, instead of fiddling with it just having it snap to them
Taller mast is the missile control antenna, all camm platforms (i.e. the Italian and Polish ones as well) have this. The shorter mast (folded in Morvan’s picture) is a EO sight for self designation, so far only the British ones have it, but the mounting points for it exist on the Italian and Polish ones too, so gaijin could fudge it a little if there’s a need.
Because it is what will come into the game, and I think it’s interesting to talk about it, Gaijin won’t add buddy-lasing, as it is not really honest way of fighting from their perspective
Me in something with paveways, my friend in a tank or scout drone, very fun and rewarding gameplay that encourage teamwork
Should also get assist if you lased the weapon onto target
Pantsir can engage 4 targets simultaneously aswell.
Personally, I would use it, and won’t be sad to be killed of it, as I can release smokes and just take a cover, but I don’t think there’s a point of talking about it as something that could get into the game, as Gaijin will never add it
Tbh with addition of target point map feature, I think it’s more than possible
It has potential to make squads rather OP.imagine lasing a target with a scout drone or IFV, or even just something orbiting at 55k ft lasing a target and then something else lofting or firing laser guided weapons well beyond LoS.
If it was anyone and not Squads, then imagine the TK trolling.
Its a cool mechanic, but I think one just not well suited for War Thunder at this time. I think maybe the closest we could get is having drone scouts create CCRP target points that you can then lock onto. Maybe also enable Tpods to create target points as well.
But… I would love to see continued refinement of GPS guided weapons, like the ability to set multiple targets before release and to have CCRP control the release, enabling long ranged loft attacks against multiple targets
Pantsir can do 4 missiles but only 3 targets simultaneously
Oh, you’re about your scout thing, I thought you’re about buddy lasing
As for your Idea with scouting, I think they will just be too lazy to do that, even tho it’s not hard to implement
4 targets and 2 per target from last I read up on it.
I kinda meant both, new mechanic really opens up doors imo
Yeah, would need some changes to ground first.
But, I do think if they added drones to air sim, make them much cheaper than jets, I think buddy lasing would be an interesting possibility
More modern ones seem to do 4 targets, 4 missiles, I can’t see anything about 2 per target though
It’s just the S1 in game though right?
They’re really begging for a HARM in that first image huh
I talking IRL capabilities in game I know Gaijin said it can engage 4 targets at once not sure about 2 per target though.
