You can sort of lock them with ACM/HMS when close up, but they rarely show up on TWS, and not at all while hovering
Is there any evidence for LMURs being tested against moving target? Evidence of them hitting and destroying a tank? Anything like that?
Wouldn’t the counterpoint here be that, the Kamov is a premium, where the Penten is trash. and expecting there to be a large population with a sufficient depth to the lineup to even include a helicopter is small, let alone at top tier where flexibility and depth to a lineup is far more important.
It might see a resurgence with the changes to SP cost overflow, and the removal of separate SP pools for Attacker and Fighter aircraft
And it’s not like any of the Teen series or Harriers wouldn’t be considered a better option than an Apache / Viper, considering that reliable access to good CAS / Multirole options is supposed to be the highlight of the US Tech tree (Not that Gaijin doesn’t do its level best to make that point redundant, though constant hamstringing with ordnance and configurational “balance concessions”).
There is a reason why the Helicopter tree is the only type in game that is directly researchable with another. Being that at a meta level it was a way for players that only used tanks to organically have access to Air support. Which was further supplemented by universally augmenting lineups with the addition of attack drones, for those that didn’t even have that.
I don’t really think they would have the inventory to be used against on “tactical” targets, I’m sure it would be possible. But would probably be somewhat of a waste of the capability they bring to the table.
So it should be locked to point lock.
What I mean is - being sure it is possible shouldn’t be enough for them to implement it.
(When it’s not convenient for them ofc, lol)
So was it? I’m asking, not stating.
The DIRCM especially on Russian helicopters in WT overperforms to an absurd degree. It creates a magic force field that just wards off entire swarms of missiles. Where IRL it only covers certain vectors, has a limit on what it can ward off, and many modern missiles just ignore it/are highly resistant to it.
Couple this with how GJN decided to implement a Fragmentation Warhead, making it work incredibly well with their overpressure mechanic. And a lot of this feels, both intentional and very very very unrealistic.

Afaik, no. And they’re not even ATGMs. They’re High Explosive Fragmentation Heads. Basically meant to hit soft targets. Which is also what they’re being used for, even the guy defending them further up talks about how they were supposedly used to target hidden drone operators. Basically pelting a large area with shrapnel.
Which is NOT what they do in WT, nor how they function there. Where they’re plain HE. And dive down onto tank roofs to overpressure them using an absurd amount of TNTe and GJNs overpressure model. The missile in game is about as fictious if not more so than the prior Russian FAF.

What is that?
There is also a video of the destruction of the Leopard 2A4 and 2S3.
No, the footage. I don’t see guidance type and any evidence of this vehicle being on the move.
No thermal marks on the gound. Tracks are marginally warmer than the hull. The hottest point being the trawl itself. Implying that it got heated up in the sun or recently used. Is this a vid? DM me if it is.
The speed there was up to 20 km/h
in both of these videos the targets are moving, you can also see on the bmp2 video how the missile autotrack it.
I already sent him the video

To be fair, it is significantly more likely this weapon exists than the total fiction that is the kh-38mt.
Whether it’s stats in game bear any relation to reality is, of course, a different matter. I suspect they’re… optimistic to say the least.

Because it’s not absolutely needed for a successful lineup, just like how the SepV2 isn’t needed for a good lineup. The 2A6 can bolster a lineup yes, but you’ll have to through 3 copy paste for a tank that’s becoming more and more undesirable.
There’s no “alternative” helicopter, you either get it for your lineup or you don’t. So you have to explain why there’s a disproportionate amount of players not playing the Apache.
- saying that it’s only because it’s a copy paste is a weak argument as not everyone has multi-nations and doesn’t take away from the fact that having a helicopter is needed for a well rounded lineup. Unless you want to say that the Apache provides little to no value which I agree.
And it’s not like people aren’t using the Premium Apache to reach top tier (even before the 64E was known). Even though it’s nothing like the Ka50, there’s a disproportionate amount of Prem Apache not getting the 64D compared to Ka50 players getting the Ka52.
Despite the US Longbow being the worst 12.0 heli in game, it’s stats have not dropped as much and for the most part have stayed somewhat consistent in comparison to the Ka52, and other longbow apaches at this BR. It’s quite telling.
Again this entire debate stemmed from the fact some guy said that Hellfire platforms are usable and balanced in comparison to the vikhrs.
I have yet to here an argument from you regarding this. Wouldn’t be hard to give an opinion on it if you’ve played them or at the very least looked at it’s characteristics.

why is this shit not added to the 52. cba grinding modules in this game anymore
They aren’t really wrong. They just expected an actual AIM-120C-5 instead of whatever abomination we have ingame
Um no. That’s not what i said. They’re being used to level houses that are occupied by droners. Literally the opposite of your description. It’s a big boom missile
