Very nice, hopefully this is 9.3 alongside the updated ZSU-23, its capabilities are almost perfectly matched

Developed for the turret fitted to Stormer but perhaps never was actually fitted.

See the original proposal thread -

You are forgetting Britian tax. No chance its lower than 10.0 or 10.3

30mm was built. Count the barrels, this one has 4.

25mm that’s being added has 5.

It was not built with a Stormer unfortunately. This is not on a Stormer chassis but a different vehicle.

So, in the release iteration, stormer retained the scouting. And that’s great.

The true sad thing is that, the Stormer HVM still needs fixing. I did a bug report on it recently including some potential fixes. I’m glad this has come to the British tier tree, but PLEASE fix the HVM! - it used to be a viable SPAA platform but now its basically useless, and you’d be better off using the OSA, or the Strella that is coming in as, despite them being a lower BR, they are still far better than the Stormer HVM because they can accurately engage and destroy aircraft without the worry of getting a “hit” and nothing else. In this bug report, I attempt to shoot down a recon drone, but its literally impossible and not even a single missile does so much as a “hit” on the drone. In the comments I did however post a video, of a HVM engaging the same drone as in the game with no issues, destroying it with one hit. Most players have removed the HVM from their line up due to it being simply inferior and mostly useless in comparison to the other AA in the game, against anything but helicopters (which still sometimes only score you a “hit”).

This doesn’t show it fitted to a Stormer and is sadly not proof a full functional Stormer mounted turret
was made. The Devs have already seen this source.

I got another source for this thing and did a few bug reports. It also claims there is a 30mm option. its from the manufacturer themselves so should take priority unless someone finds a manual

The gun is incorrect.

the rate of fire is too slow
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/zYpj2rybyxVo
and its missing a fire speed selection option
