Tbf iirc the 10B was on the leak lists, so there’s a good chance it’ll be there.

Stormer AD has close range weaponry, something the HVM really lacked due to the guidance stall after launch combined with its weapons being hittiles.

Stormer HVM has a max range of 7km and while it doesn’t give enemy aircraft much warning it struggles with maneuvering targets at the further extent of its range due to the energy bleed (though it generally guides very well while it does have energy).

Osa provides range out to ~10km, has a proxy fuse so you don’t have to worry about the missile phasing if you and your target don’t have perfect ping, and the effective range is higher than the Stormer HVM thanks to the boost-sustain so it’s easier to deal with planes that can sit at long ranges thanks to standoff weapons.

Doubt it, GB is already getting a plane this patch, + it’s not been on any leak lists. Gnat/Ajeet would fit more in the tree anyway

wow!

good morning Vietnam, news from the dev?

I get this but is Osa not enough of an improvement to warrant a higher br?

Normally the stream starts in like 3 or so hours

yes I know

Such missiles were already denied for this update in RRD multiple times

I honestly wouldn’t say that, the missiles are very sluggish and can struggle at close range if you don’t lead/predict perfectly. It’s spices to a meal, by itself it’s not the be all or end all, but complements the food and the sauce perfectly.

No devstream today?

nah they just operate them. with gaijins logic they will both end up in the french tech tree instead of the british one like the Aus abrams and Can Leo

In 20 minutes you shall find out

Ooooooh my gawd. Dev stream probably today, in a couple of hours, like it always is.

it could be, it does have ~25% more max range than other SAMs at the BR (8km seems to be the norm) but we know BRs are basically based on how well players do in the vehicle so it’s possible it’ll sit at 10.3, we’ll have to see
