Can see the Mi-28 can carry 8 LMURs. What is the source for this?
All images and documents I have seen including combat footage show no more than 4.
If an Mi-28 could carry 8 why are they not flying with 8 unlike the Ka-52M when they have been seen with maximum Vikhr payload.
Would be good if anyone can share this or if Gaijin has likely once again played with the truth to stop Russia falling behind?
Most of the equipment currently in use often flies with minimal weapons.
LMUR is a large missile, and as I mentioned we have seen fully loaded Ka-52s with Vikhrs during the tank hunting phases.
I would like to see a source or image showing 8 can be carried.
I haven’t found any photos yet, but I can provide you with an Mi-8. (this will take time)
Those are single launchers not dual, but appreciate the efforts
IAI Barak MX Land On the Move. Pending
While the Barak MX Land On The Move is noted to only use the Barak MR/MRAD and LR/LRAD, the brochure of the MX system says the launcher can use all 3 mentioned missiles, one of which is also the Barak ER. The ER, due to it’s huge power, has to be fired in a deployed/stationary status. All launchers can carry 8 missiles (aside from the MR/MRAD specific launcher, which can have 4 as an option).
All interceptors of the Barak MX system are compatible to be launched from the BARAK land-based launcher.
Anyway, for the specs for the missiles:
Barak MR/MRAD:
Barak LR/LRAD:
Barak ER:
For its radar, it can use either a less powerful ELM-2138 radar, or a ELM-2084
ELM-2138:
ELM-2084:
SA-35 SPAA
Yeah but though this shouldn’t come before F.4 since Indonesia never operated any earlier standard. So this shouldn’t come anytime soon considering even the F.3R is op right now, and even without its full weapons suite.
But sure, once France gets more Rafales it will be valid to give some to others nations
i know this has already been made as a suggestion but grinding out a whole other tech tree just for an aircraft that the US itself operated, it would also help bridge the gap of aircraft capability between the Vietnam and gulf war eras McDonnell-Douglas F-4E/L Phantom II - Late Serving Air Force Phantom
maybe as a folder or another aircraft in the strike fighter/bomber line at 11.7/12.0 as it would just be another sparrow slinger with AIM-9Ls and still a brick, but the phantoms are still fun to play if you get the right match (and for this purpose i don’t mean downtier) close range sparrow slinging is still quite enjoyable, you just gotta be sure your shot will hit
We also don’t see ability to use both Vikhr and Ataka on Mi-28 as well. Not having any photos is not equal not having capabilities.
Completely different,
We are talking about payload capacity we have documented evidence that Vikhrs is integrated on Mi 28
Did you even read my comment? I am talking about ability to use Vikhr and Ataka in a same loadout as it shown on the photo.
Chieftain 900
The Chieftain 900 was a modernised chieftain designed to be sold as a export featuring the following modifications
900hp engine
Totally new armour scheme with composite NERA (specifically Chobham armour used on the Challenger1 and 2 as well as the M1 Abrams).
New fire control system with thermal imaging.
semi-automatic gearbox
laser range finder
L23 AFFSDS
it had two prototypes built in April 1982 and were exhibited the same year at the British Army Equipment Exhibition unfortunately neither of them were fitted with real Chobham armour used a mock-up made of sheet metal and concrete. currently at least one of them is located in the Bovington Tank Museum Vehicle Conservation Centre as pictured here.
personally I wouldn’t mind witch variant is added either the proposed one with the Chobham armour or the one with mock-up as either would give us a new unique variant of the Chieftain with apfsds
Which proves what exactly?
That there are loadouts that exists with picture proofs that don’t get implemented in the game and that this is fair for the opposite statememnt - there are loadouts for vehicles that are possible but never used or pictured.
x8 LMUR is likely used for balance as all loadouts are.
This is the issue, Russian heli gets more missiles because it’s wouldnt be balanced…
Other nations hours of bug reports to find information in the hope Gaijin will make a change.
It’s not fair and it’s not right
We have images of Ka-52s carrying Cruisemissiles
2 of that doesnt mean the other 6 pylons can be used to carry them.
You are making assumptions with no basis
