Spike-LR II, why are they so dogshit?

Been using the Spikes a bit and they dont do shit 75% of the time, the targeting seems off too…

Sadly they are broken as a balancing decision.
The company does not want 100% FnF 1 hit kills coming off of tanks.

Same with the Jaguars FnF

but doesnt russia get many FNF?

FnF from helicopters and planes are classed differently. Russian ground mostly uses guided missiles.

I don’t like it either but that seems to be the reasoning.

pretty sad cus the PUMA VJTF main armement is the spikes FNF and bc they r so bad it make playing this tanks pretty useless and not fun at all

Yeah. It’s the same with the missiles on the Jaguar too. My buddy was playing it. Could hit helicopters missed or did little damage to tanks most of the time. I would love for spikes to be better as I love the Eitan and Namer.

i lovee playing IFV, but damn they really butchered the FnF of the tanks i understand why but still…

Yeah. They could make it 50% more accurate. I don’t need it to hit all the time but it would be nice if it was 50/50.

yea true i feel like everytime i launch a spike it just does nothing cus it hit like the top of the roof or nothing important

Yeah, I feel like it hits 1/4 of the time and does meaningful damage even less often. It is great on helicopters though.

yea on helicopter it really shines, but on everything that it was meant for it practicaly useless

I agree.

russian F&F fired from a helicopter KMs away from behind a hill with man in the loop is infinitely more balanced than if it were fired from an IFV…right? oh Gaijin…

cas is just something else…

I still remember the Merkava roof armor nerf that had no source or documentation happened almost immediately after the introduction of the LMUR… odd.

They need to revisit the Spike, as well as the FnF that the Jaguar fires.

Because if they were modelled correctly and could destroy Russian tanks, Russian mains would cry. They do seem to work against NATO tanks though one shotted a Leopard 2A7V the other day while a T-80UE ate 2 of them…

I got one Hit by Spikes in my BMPT quite a few times since i bought it.

But overall i agree that Spikes are trash; if they work they work and One Hit or at least do critical Hit but more often than not they dont work at all lol had Matches with my PUMA VJTF where i had to sling 6 Spikes at someone before he died and if i wasnt on cap would have run out on my atgms before he died lol

the guided missiles like on BMP-2M, BMPT or cannon fired ones from the MBTs are much better but i had matches here too where i fired all four of my BMPT atgms into an m1a1 side and he survived…

i find the cannon launched ones the best / most reliable like on ZBD04A or the T-Series MBTs and ZTZs
