They seemed to hit my KA-52 / Su-30SM easily
They are both top attack, and any hellfire that landed for me was an instant kill.
You get double the amount, and they both have the same guidance systems.
LMUR are a complete pain in the arse to lock to an enemy tank at 10 km. Like literally next to impossible, maybe they’re bugged?
I usually carry 6 LMUR and 4 iglas to ward off enemy aircraft.
How many do you actually have at 12.0 or bought into rank 8? I only see 2 ground and 2 air trees there.
The Americans Guardian Angel - AH-64E - War Thunder
Top Tiers LEAST Balanced F&F Missile… - War Thunder
both by JustinPlays on YouTube.
Looks like you ran out of luck, from the AH-64E video, you can clearly see the 1st missile does a crit, the 2nd usually kills.
JAGMs have a hard coded 10km lock range if you can’t get a picture-perfect IR lock. But from my testing, 8km is about the distance that they start to struggle.
Russia,
America,
Italy,
Sweden,
Japan,
And Germany I believe.
The other nations I have “top” in I’m waiting till everything is 50% off in silver to save millions, I have them researched, just not purchased.
Pretty much France the Brit’s are what I’m waiting to buy.
How did I run out of luck?
Yup that fits the bill pretty well for LMUR.
Also, I would advise against using JustinePlays as a source, he is a very biased content creator, often downplaying OP USA vehicles, and overhyping Ussr vehicles.
I don’t have either one of the helis yet so I had to get the gameplay from somewhere.
if we had any evidence that the pylons were designed with the capability to use TV or IR guided missiles it would be different, but there has never been any evidence that they have this capability
this is a false equivalency because both use the same primary forms of guidance being laser and MMW radar, additionally AGM-179 was designed specifically to use the same launch rails, where LMUR uses very different launch rails compared to Vikhr
another false equivalency because both transmit and recieve the same forms of data, just taken with different types of sensors and 65D was designed to use the same rails as 65B
You know that people can just check your stats these days right?
and that gives you experience in those vehicles how exactly?
Compared to the completely objective and neutral war thunder forum members
I do, over 90% of the time when tanks round corners.
The other <10% of the time I hit too far back on the side armor and miss something.
It physically cannot, and to this day all “evidence” has been overlapping plates, tracks, and/or roof armor.
Not a single source people have provided has shown ERA eating a round.
No, on su27SM and Su30 It Is physically smaller so the double racks R77 cannot fit.
The post you replied to shows photographs of the R-77 double pylons, which are identical in spacing to the in-game ones between the engines.
Su-30SM/Su-35 as examples have the same exact center-line store positions as shown in a follow up post:
I spoiler images because they can elongate posts too much.
Su-35 adds ~11.5 inches of wingspan each side, which also adds more fuel to the aircraft.
The pictures u sent of the su30 are from war thunder
The pictures u posted of actually real double racks are from a Su35.
The photos in the follow up post show an Su-30SM [as identified via the forward canards] and Su-35 having the same exact engine distance between them and the same exact center-line.
Not sure why you’re so against evidence.
You are the only biased guy here, you want evidence for every bit of Russian equipment, while obviously for the US there are different standards and everyting was designed to fit with everything.
Im sorry, so recognizing that certain missiles are designed to be compatible with previous launch rails and pylons while asking for evidence that missiles that clearly use unique launch rails are compatible with certain pylons is being biased now?
And you obviously know, that they are EXACT the same, it’s just plug and play, nothing had to be changed.
But you as aviation engineer know that, obviously.
given that every source states that JAGM is compatible with the same launch rails as helifire along with the fact that every manual states AGM65D is compatible with the same launch rails as AGM65B is clearly difficult for you to understand,
To be fair - that’s one of the whole Shticks with NATO Standard stuff. The basic idea is that you make as much backwards compatible as possible - effectively allowing you to fit later weapons fits to older platforms. The main embuggerance is often firmware/software (getting the weapon and plane to ‘talk’ to eachother).
The Soviets (later Russians) never really had that mindset - which is one of the reasons why you’ll note that virtually each OKB and almost each aircraft produced has it’s own distinct pylons, hardpoints, etc. It’s also one of the reasons why they never really standardised a targeting pod that would actually fit on more than one or two aircraft…
(Quite funny really, given their fondness for top-down centralisation…)
But the problem is YouTubers never show their stats, and they cherry pick the best games for “content”
Which just means it’s physical capable to carry the missile, but you don’t have proof it can actually use, control, aim and fire it due to software, avionics etc.
