Can’t say I’ve killed a T-80 but i’ve tried. Type-90 Fuji are doable if you catch their side.
Think my favorite map is surprisingly Red Desert. You can still get out of the map on bottom team spawn. I get out of the map, able to scout the whole map and then proceed to snipe Light tanks and prevent them from playing the game.
Then when the Light Tank players rage spawn CAS, I star-streak them as they fly in a straight line. Its pure bliss.
It’s 15 seconds into the match, the heli can pick and choose any 4 light target anywhere on the map because tanks didn’t have enough time to even get into cover, has faster missiles so even if heli shoots second the missile will reach its target first. Can do this up to 4 times (2 kills already give you full hellfire loadout backup) and dedicated spaa either have SAMs that can’t lock or sami-auto missiles that are slower than starstreaks.
pretty sure that they take more to spawn than the regular ones (you cant even use them as first spawn), they did the same with the ones armed with s24s… they were also nerfed as they used to be much more powerful when they used the FAE ones, btw by your logic they should also nerf the mighty mouse at lower tiers as they are much more powerful than the s5s
well the ah1w does have zunis, dont know if the rest americans helicpters even used them, btw they could also even things out and give both all the war heads possible, so we can have the fae rockets on the russian ones in both the s8 and s13.
They are still limited to the Mk. 32 ATAP (HEAT) warhead, when the Mk 32 (4.3kg of Comp. B-2) or Mk 63 (6.8kg of Comp. B-4) are available.
Cobras did, and the AH-64A technically does, though the US army doesn’t stock them.
They got removed because they magically had a flat 40x TNTe, and no added SP cost associated with the ability to straight up ignore the fact that the crew is buttoned up in their tank (and that FAE relies upon, air bursting and the Blast wave front not fragmentation to do damage). I don’t really think people would find the CBU-55/B, -72/B or BLU-95 / -96 all that fair to fight against either considering that 40 x 183kg approximates to a 55 meter blast radius, and that’s only the 500lb variants, not the 2000lb BLU-96.
all rokets on helicopters are limited to a single warhead, s5k are limited to them when they have the s5kp(which is already in game) available, the s8 and s13 are also limited to one when both have better war heads.
as far as i know only the ah 1w used them, but if you have information go ahead and make a bug report
in game all tanks are killed by the blast of the explosion not by fragmentation, the latter only matters on light skinned vehicles, but fae warheads have a larger overpressure radius so the effects on the are similar, btw they removed them when the spawn point nerf was enabled
we dont have cluster to begin with and it isnt like the russian doesnt have their own equivalent…
Well it was fun while it lasted, guess all it takes is one photo of a T-80 randomly exploding to get something British nerfed lmao.
Was fun while it lasted, RIP Starstreak AH Mk.1 First spawn (?-2024), you will be missed, from trolling Ka-50s and 52s, and BMPs, to outright trolling the game by killing T-80s, I will miss you dearly.
Its a shame i missed it, only if it could have lasted an extra 5 years to give me enough time to test fly it at least due to how long heli grinding is…
