Also a fair idea, but would make dumbfire rocket helicopters even weaker than they already are.
My own personal, somehat selfish wish would be to just remove helicopters from ground RB altogether. They don’t fit the gamemode well at all. They’d fit better in Air RB or EC, let alone their own gamemode.
A fully realised air sim would be a dream come true. Helis and planes all flying in one ao with maps twice the size they are now would be perfect. but alas, this is gaijin and they havent seen the worth of adding a new game mode in over a decade.
So I think we’ve answered the question, the Starstreak amour values in game are not realistic, being lower then IRL. The Snail has chosen that to be the way.
Now if you can pass it on as a bug and get it changed, then all the better
Sadly not with Jane’s. We would need something else.
Sadly, janes dont count as secondary but only supplementary (whatever that means, i dont know). so highly doubtful anything will happen.
My only issue is it doesn’t State the result of the test
The armour of an fv432 is only 12.7 mm of steel so it doesnt matter anyway. its not 50cal rated so i assume they sued it because they knew it could punch a hole right through it.
Does Janes have a bibliography that we could use to view their sources
Nope. And we’ll, they are their own source.
Not sure, there may be more information in the 2005-06 book but that things £80 second hand. I may get it, just depends on how badly i want “supplementary” sources…
Shame that their new books are upwards of 800 gbp
