There is only AJS37 with TWS on that BR if I am correct and that one dont have SARH at all.
ironic how your able to flare an antelope easily but cant flare the strela.
strela has the smallest fov of any ir seeker ingame. thats why.
strela could be 11.7 no problem.
Vehicle: M109G
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR: 5.7 → 6.0
Reasoning: The M109G is identical in every way that matters to the M109A1, same gun performance, engine, reload, etc. With the one thing that differs between them being an insignificant weight increase of 400kg. This is not enough to justify them being a separate and lower BR than the M109A1s and the same as the basic M109 with its lower velocity gun. As such they should be raised to 6.0 to match the M109A1s.

More so the contrast mode which, unlike on the type 93, actually works meaning flares do literally nothing unless your kissing the deck.
lol. antelope has half of the effective range of strela. half the missiles and lacks contrast lock.
what difference does contrast lock make, you say? strela missile can lock a non-afterburning plane at 7km from the front, antelope at 3km.
the closest vehicle to antelope is the 9.0 imp chappa.
antelope sucks ass. except at scouting, antelope is great at scouting.
from what i know, contrast lock should affect flare resistance at all. atleast turning it off makes no difference.
you can flare strela missiles from 4+km away with afterburner off, but the moment it gets closer its too late.
basically just got stingers at what, 10.0? Yeah that thing could go down to 9.3 for all i care.
I have literally NEVER flared a strella, hence why i think if they put it in contrast mode it is impossible to flare, not even my buc or tonka could with large flares. Unlike the type 93 which you can flare as easily as a stinger despite having the same contrast mode.
With 481 mm you can pen any MBT frontal aspect.
Many russian tanks have three crew members. An HSTV or RDF/LT can penetrate frontal aspect an T-80-E1. You have decent APFSDS, hit LFP, driver port, autoloader is easy to disable and you get the kill even if he’s in the BVM
Gen 1 thermals indeed are bad.
4 sec reload time is a big advantage (let’s not forget that russian MBTs have 6, even 7 autoloader reload time at top tier).
12.0 is a good br for this tank.
If you get a frontal lock at 3km you can consider yourself lucky, it regularly fails to lock below 2.5km and with helicopters you need to be around ~1.2km.
The moment I (finally) ace the antelope I ain’t ever touching that stinker again, would rather bring the WZ305 or even PGZ88 if I need to shoot some aircraft.
stingers are way better. you underestimate the lack of lock and flight range on the antelope. the extra G amount is pretty worthless when it cant do it past 2km.
i do every once in a while. firing zunis, AAM or guided missiles usually takes the attention of the missile.
spamming flares before the strela fires does work sometimes too.
and being far enough usually seems to work if you are quick enough, the missile is so fast you have to flare basically instantly.
stingers have contrast lock? no they dont. atleast the toggle for it isnt there on any stinger vehicle
You literally wont if Strela is in photocontrast mode. Its just impossible. Should be same for all systems with photocontrast in that mode.
its rather easy to defeat type 93 and type 81 ir missiles with flare spam.
maybe turning or flaring break contrast lock?
I don’t have those systems (only Strela), but based on the operating principle, photocontrast detection shouldn’t detect flares at all.
well im talking ingame currently not what it should/could be.
In game for Strela photocontrast wont detect flares at all. Idk about Japanese ones as I dont have them but should be same as for Strela.

The T25 needs to go down to 5.7 BAD. It can stay 6.3 IF it gets the stabilizer and correct transmission model back, but as of right now it is more sluggish than the M26, has completely worthless armor protection, and a gun that struggles to pen the majority of mediums, heavies, and TDs or SPGs it encounters.
The type 93 for japan has contrast mode, pretty sure they are just beefed stingers.
