He said Blowpipe has the advantage of being battle proven… hahaha “battle proven” is doing some serious fucking leg work there. It had proven to be utterly hopeless.

Can we get automatic missile guidance like Pantsir has based on this?
It was talked about, but not sure if it was suggested. The fact that Stormer aims for the gunner is well known here.
You know the terms in their contract was that they wasn’t allowed to say anything negative about it lmao

Looking at the star streak missile… The fins are tiny… Gaijin logic it should only turn 10g like the stingers lmao pretty much throws that argument out of the window lol

That has nothing to do with it, the computer and tracker do the deed, missile just flies on the laser

I mean the UK Government didn’t want to admit it was useless incase the troops lost confidence in it and we couldn’t export it anymore…

No blowpipe was so good that it was just too unfair to use clearly
I watched a video the other day about it and I’m sure is was something along the lines of 76 aircraft engagements… 2 successful hits… UK government… Skill issue XD

The sighting system is equipped with an Automatic
Target Tracking (ATT) system, a visual sight, a
high precision thermal infra red sight and the
STARSteak laser guidance module. This sighting
system is used to acquire, track and engage
target threats and the high degree of automation
provides a fire and forget system capability.
Outright states it here

iirc InterFleet reported that on the old Forum but it wasnt enough information to confirm that it really has it or how it works, dont remeber that well anymore.
Better to have 2 sources than one

Fire and forget means in LOSBR missiles scenario, that you lock a target with a tracker and fire the missile. Computer does the rest, leading the missile so it hits.
It has auto tracking, I think you mean the FCS controlling the lead etc.
