Was this config ever seen in flight?
no, but i dont see why it cant. given that its mounting actual missiles and not inerts or mockups
so the weight capacity exists. its just that the BW mightve considered it a bit overweight (if we assume that pilots word to be trustworthy (pilots arent exactly material or any kind of engineers))
The way he described it I understood that while the missile can indeed be mounted (hence possible), just having it mounted is different to flying with it as the wing was simply not dimensioned for such additional wright on that specific hardpoint and could broke up once there would be any G forces invovled.
Thats why I asked if theres any footage of this config in flight.
I know, and believe me, I asked in extremely specific way (whenever he heard or seen about double PARS launcher for outer pylon and if there is any info in pilot manual that would indicate such config to be impossible). Hell, im sure if there were no other visitors, id get to sit inside it, alas.
ye thats why they prolly came up with the 2 x launcher instead of mounting another 4x launcher (which wouldve been twice as heavy) there.
the weight is probably a safety consideration for extreme circumstances.
Make it damage output on par with hellfire would make it surprisingly good sadly Gaijin is incompetent and incapable of doing it.

No, it can’t. Because there are tons of hellfire carrier below it
I almost forgot to mention that the new Russian missile has top-attack capability, while the PARS 3 has never had that feature in-game since 2019, even though it does in real life, this is a real slap in the face to both German and French players, since they also have the HAC which is basically the UHT.

So? Those hellfire carriers have their own advantages.
Like what? Short range and SACLOS?
Namely, they can actually defend themselves against other aerial vehicles. That’s a huge one by itself.
No, while it may be lacking compared with the new helis that doesn’t mean it should go down. if anything the the others should go up to 12.7/13.0.
It was a 100% necessary nerf when it was introduced, however with the new SPAA systems and helis it’s probably time to revisit that. maybe submit a bug report on it?
Although it’s a switchable trajectory, which is not supported in warthunder, so it will be one mode or the other.
Here’s the brochure for it if you do want to bug report it:
I’m not sure I would consider getting F&F heli missiles 6 years before USA and USSR and 4 years before the SPIKE ERs a “slap in the face” even if they had a their top attack fire mode locked out.
But again I think it is probably time to switch it to top attack.
what weapon has this?
Sorry, typo, I meant “NOT”.
Fixed, thanks for pointing that out

I’ve checked the flight manual for the UHT, weight wouldn’t be an issue for twin launchers, but it probably would be for quad launchers.

man and waht??? remember the ka 50 entered in game oblirated all enemy+ fired down planes wit ground atack missile because have a insane tracking and in this days ka50,52 missile is competitive is fast good pen and damage model, i fired 2 pars3 lr missile on panthis one hited another direct hit in turret only crit, another 3 on buk 3 and no destoyer pars 3 lr damage model i weak, + i take of from my helipad and enemy heli “mi28” fire missile on my from enemy helipad 10-11 km …
If the outer pylon gets finally cleared for other ordnance than Stingers, it would also mean this:
Gajin has these infos since the dawn of the Tiger UHT, about time to make it possible. Would mean 4 ATMGs more.

is fine to add to game but this not resolve the problem mi28 and z10 immune to is missiles and from enemy helipad fire missiles for other…
wasnt a nerf llmaooo
gaijin just wasnt able to implement it
not really the same but stuff like Strela and tansam have 2 different lock modes…
also we have dual mode HEVT
Well either way, they can now, so it’s probably time to switch PARS to top attack
