Isn’t it strange that the Type 93 is tracked by visible or infrared imagery, so the target changes to a missile or flare?
so i’ve been searching the impossible info about the CCD, only to find it was mentioned in janes.
Spoiler
i don’t think we’re gonna get anymore closer or more specific than this.
If I’m reading this correctly it confirms CCD stands for charged coupled device, which memorizes an image. This would mean the missile tracks an image, rather than just contrast. So it should be way less, if at all, affected by ground clutter.
it seems so, then again i don’t think Janes can be used as source anymore.
if anyone want to see the e-book here it is, the japan paged at 52
oh well, i’m gonna try anyway
Let us know how it goes! I wish you good luck!

well i actually communicate with the bug report employee, and they said they have more information about the CCD and the Janes not really reliable as secondary source. so i gave up on that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
but if their report going through, then we’ll probably not gonna see the changes for a while. you can wish them more luck there ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Ah! Well then hopefully we may see that change implemented hopefully soon-ish, though I’m not very hopeful for it to be changed within the next year.

Welp, stingers got buffed to 13G and got some other guidance and missile fm changes but the mistrals and Type 91 remains unchanged.
Edit: Tested the E model stingers in the test drive and now they actually miss the target a lot
If you mean the changes from the data mine, I don’t believe they are live yet.
Current Dev version : 2.31.1.63 (stinger buff)
Current Live version : 2.31.1.62 (as of yesterday, when I was last on)
It updated today, statcard shows 13G and version is 2.31.1.63 on live server
Thats a shame then, maybe go look in the stinger / mistral thread? They tend to be up to date about actual numbers.
tried the ATAS-92 on the DJP and its a bit better. Type 91 seems mostly unchanged but im also firing for high hit probability aspects. front on and slightly maneuvering seems a bit worse/sluggish on the initial pull off the rails but the tracking midflight looks better so it doesnt pull as insane for the final guidance phase
The Type 91 is still the same 10G’s as it was before, the FIM-92’s/Stinger missiles were changed, but it doesn’t appear that any others were.
Edit: It appears that on the live server, at least in the test drive, the missile doesn’t ‘start up’ quite so quickly so to speak. It feels like it more so gets thrown out of the tube and a second later the motor kicks on, meaning the missile trail doesn’t start right away but it also feels like the initial track guidance is at least a little better than it was before.
Yea they did no changes to the Type 91 code at all, only stinger and nothing else. I played a match and the stinger on the AH-64DJP was nice having the more G pull
It is known that type91 was based on stinger, so I’d say it must also recieve this buff. The question is how to propose it? Bug report probably will be rejected and suggestion will be forgotten for months if not years

Type 93 now have only gen1 thermals on dev. I didn’t see or heard about any documents from gaijin confiming this nerf

God that’s just depressing. Figured they would nerf the thermals after the Type 81 came out because someone tried to use the Type 93 to justify getting the Type 81 better thermals but this still hurts.

Well at least rumor about optical tracking going for flares was false, for now(they implemented ground resistance for type81 only after it was released on live)
We can only hope it remains false, otherwise I’m gonna be a mighty bit pissed.
Oh they also increased the Type 93’s mass to 4.6 tons. Gonna be a bit slower now.
