wait, the spike is impacting from a steeper angle than LMUR?
The ER after the update they do, both also recieved altitude hold
As you can see it is pretty good but nowhere near 70º that the protractor measured, more like 30-40º
How do you know that? This is the code as of live, is it not?
You’re right, I did this quick without thinking. Mea culpa. This should require some testing because I’m certain they have more than 35° of dive angle since I was killed by LMUR quite a few times in the Trophy Abrams. @kedrigern video even illustrates quite well how steep the final dive is.
Yes. BVVD talked about it in RU dev stream. About how they finally fixed Spike this patch. Damages are still absolutely unreliable but they have the proper angle of attack now.
what are the chances that’s my screenshot that you copied from discord
nah i took my own i was in disbelief
valid lmfao
i knew there would be an impact, but US having outright best WR in top tier alongside the #1 and #2 highest KPS tanks rn was NOT what i was expecting

Thats an screenshot from the dev server, it uses the old loft profile not the current one, and my screeshot you can check that it is on the current live server form the top right of the screen shot.
it can be more than the 26 that i measured from the graph, as it only really let you to calculate the average angle betwen the last to points

Dude Kontakt 5 never fully stops a round from going through, kontakt 5 like other era destroy parts of the round which does not allow it to penetrate main armor . World war two shells will never pen frontal plate or turret cheeks of any T-72 or 64 vehicles. This part: " Even the biggest ATGMS fired by an aircraft are still effectively flying at supersonic speed headfirst into a supersonic interceptor. Missiles don’t like that and tend to break when it happens". This part tells me that you know very little about angles of attack and you are making bogus statement about missiles fired from an aircraft braking upon encountering APS “supersonic intercepter”. In IRL things dont work like that.
APS vs missiles fired from helicopters and airplanes are still very, very ineffective.
Well my idea is that since other nations dont have LIMUR is to simply not allow aps to intercept missiles fired from heli’s in IRL aps intercepting such threats is eroneous at best and happens only in pre-set conditions at an angles of attack that favour the aps. Dont go by military brochuers they are as good as Santa’s presents.
They soon made us all suffer again Ka-50 was the start
So the part of Gajiin only favouring soviets is as true as trophy intercepting LIMUR.
depends on what you consider soon. The AH-1Z was released in september 2018 and the Ka-50 was released in october 2019.

“APS vs missiles fired from helicopters and airplanes are still very, very ineffective.”
Source? Other than you making it up?
I know far more about the subject of airborne munitions than you ever will. You’d be well served by thinking about the physics at play. I’ll give you a hint.
On ships. Look at the relative size of a CIWS round vs. the missiles they are designed to intercept. You don’t need a very big mass to upset/destroy a missile travelling at high velocities. Physics does the work for you.
My point stands. If an incoming round/missile is within the engagement zone of an APS such as Trophy - the APS will make an intercept. If the APS connects then there is no way that munition is staying in one piece.
There is no video evidance from several conflicts to suggest that aps can credibly shoot down missiles from planes and helicopters, that is aps on tanks and other vhicles, it shows me about you knowledge when you are using “ships” as an example a platform that is like x10 the size of a tank you can fit an array of anti missile systems, if it was just aps on board we would have the entire navy underwater by now. Your point abour aps shooting down incoming missiles ( at greater velocities than regular atgms) at angels greater than 65 degrees have no video evidance just brochuers and army talk.
Trying to locate and the shoot an incoming missile is one of the hardest things to do, sensor wont save you nearly as much as they are stated.
Okay - let’s try and put it a different way.
Exhibit A - Anti Ship Missile / This is big.
Exhibit B - 20mm Phalanx round. This is small.
Now, is an anti-ship missile bigger than a plane ATGM? Yes or no?
Are the APS munitions bigger than a 20mm cannon round? Yes or no?
Are such massive high speed anti-ship missiles broken up by comparatively small, lightweight defensive rounds? Yes or no?
If the incoming munition is within the field of fire of the APS (e.g. Trophy can cover virtually the entire upper hemisphere of a tank) then an APS has a very good chance of successfully knocking an inbound atgm out.
An APS doesn’t need to match the weight/force of the inbound any more than those little 20mm CIWS rounds need to.

Mi 35 was still good just the Ka-50 with Vikhrs broke the game.
