Off-topic/General chat for Britain

Eh the Spigott mortar has very little range. About 80m iirc

What better atgm vehicles could we have for 8.3 or higher?

An upgraded Striker, and various mock ups using the brimstone.

Ferret Mk5 could be fun. Swingfires still, but on a small and fast platform

not much unfortantly, some later Striker models (and I mean models, the current Striker has all the later gizmos) + a ferret with 4 Swingfires, an M113 with a spike launcher brought off Israel (Called Hafiz by the Isrealis, served as Exactor Mk.1 with the British Army), and the weird 60s feverdream that is the Malkara (203mm HESH ATGM) mounted on a Humber pig to form the Humber Hornet. There’s also the Vickers Vigilant ATGM carriers, but that missile suuuuuucks and is argubly worse than the type 60 ATM thus wouldn’t be above 8.3.
Finally there’s the brimstone Launchers, but brimstone wouldn’t really work due to the missiles self designation.

Exactor (pictured is a Hafiz in Israeli service, it's just a nicer picture of the launcher than anything we have of the british ones)

Ferret with twin Vigilant ATGMs

one last option thought
There is the Hellfire turret developed by Lockheed Martin UK, although while it was developed in their UK facility, it’s made for export and was tested in the US, so I’m not completely sure where it should go.

I don’t know. I think spawn in, turn 90 degrees, fire off a volley of brimstones randomly and get a load of kills would be fun 😉

Would the Ajax with the Javelin meet that criteria as well, or are you just looking at pure ATGM launchers?

This is good wdym?

not sure what the difference is!

Swingfire/Striker Vs warrior

Ajax with javelin is like the Warrior with MILAN in game. Rather than pure ATGM slinger

Eh, not good look at the intresting bit, with the sights and launch tubes open

So there are a lot of Swingfire launchers, but not much above 8.3

eh, Gaijin doesn’t seem intrested in LOAL, + fixed firing angles kinda suck

I remember a few years ago i was really looking forward to getting the striker.
Turned out to be a pain in the arse.
Indirect fire is ok i guess. maybe.

The trick is to not use the sight, as weird as that sounds. Would be nice if they let us use the MCLOS mode though, would be able to do really funky stuff that way

i would much rather sit on a cap point with an RBT-5, Panzerwerfer or similar and just saturate a location :) But yes I agree 100%.

looks cool but looks like a shitty missile system.

My idea and hope gaijin consider new content for great britain tech tree in the future
