What could improve LOSAT?

LOSAT in 2025/2026 really have bad time !
why?
because close range maps where LOSAT don’t work and you need be in straight line to fire the missiles which really difficult to do in small maps and also the LOSAT missiles flight model is wrong still not fixed for this day and it can’t close the missiles area to protect them from enemy machine guns which could save from exploding !

some losat info

i saw some posts and bug report talks about targeting systems that can lock and track but i have no clue if that’s true info !

i really hope gajin model this would help a little bit protecting the missiles !

image they are 25mm of armor which is really good against machine guns if they can be closed.

lowering the br won’t do anything it will get even worse maps .

what could help this Vehicle?

it is just fucked for some reason, its missiles dont behave like they are supossed to, APS can stop it, and when you hit enemy tanks it barely does damage

really one of the worst tanks in game really hope gajin do something about it !
there are many bug reports from 3 to 2 years ago but nothing changed for this day.
the small maps make this tank so unplayable.

A way lower br so that the tank it faces can’t spot it and react to it has fast

Has a losat owner I think they should try putting it at 8.3 or lower

idk i lost hope for it’s seems forgotten and abandoned br change will help it a little bit but main issue is the missiles flight is wrong and need a fix/rework.

LOSAT so SO ass bro i dont think anything can save it. lowkirkenuinely pisses me the fuck off whenever I tried to play it cuz its SO bad. LOSAT is incredibly map dependent even then, it still gona lose to regular ass tank guns cuz their targeting speed is better.

The missile doesnt even pull enough to hit where I aim ffs

its infuriating to play and is the poster child of whats wrong with ATGM’s and latency in game.

Where they glitch out, drop, etc etc.

What could improve LOSAT?

Adding the tracking+guidance computer that automatically handled the laser emitter, and making the missile perform properly (hit to kill, no amount of armor will save you).

In reality the gunner just selected a target for the system to track and the computer handled the laser. That’s why on IRL LOSAT test footage the missile goes in a pretty nice arcing trajectory instead of the direct flight path we are forced to use in-game. Making the missile instantly destroy everything it hits is a pretty obvious buff.

That, and better maps. Who would have guessed that a weapon with a ~700m minimum range (IRL) suffers on maps where 700m is the maximum range in 95% of engagements.
