Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

i still cant figure out why the starstreaks have so bad penetration. its like at close range they only work as a weak rocket.

wait now that i think of it could they have model it like a rocket? lol

They had somewhere around 70mm in the past, but it got nerfed due to ballance, as it was possible to use them as a atgm, even tho the starstreak penetrates using 3 tungsten darts

much like every other aa.

actually i suspect the moments we have of it and no damage is because of no pen even on planes. they explode outside counts as hit and because low explosive mass they do very low dmg.

It somewhat penetrates

yes but because the pen is so low most of the times it just does nothing

Have you ever shot down a guided munition using the Stormer? I would expect an SAM like this to be able to intercept missiles. In game, it seems close to impossible, in the sense that you are not going to hit them, much like with recon drones.

I used to shoot down guided munitions targeting friendly tanks using the ADATS. It gives you no reward, but it’s fun to do when you have the chance.

Nope, niether i did the scout drone. It is nearly impossible to aim the darts at the missile/drone. It alost seem like they do not interact with eachother. Drones would be shot down with the FCS aiming for the gunner. Missile might be shot down if we had the irl starstreak flight patterm.

It also says it can carry 8 + 12 missiles, but it’s hard to know where 3 of them would go. We only have images showing at least 9 stored on 3 racks.

Snail likes it not

Probably on the left side at the back

I have AESP 2350-T-110-524 I could dig out from here:

It probably has info on this, but I’m not sure I am allowed to post it to this forum.

@Smin1080p any advice on this?

(It says 12 rounds are stored, with 8 ready to launch)

i wouldnt post the entire thing, but prints from certain parts i think its ok

Have you ever played Ark?

I’ve gotten the odd lucky kill against MBTs, but it’s more luck than anything

What Ark? The dino game

I don’t think they fit there

When IFF is added to the Stormer, will it be possible to lock onto enemy aircraft only? It’s VERY annoying when you lock onto friendly recon drones, for example. I don’t know how IFF works in game, but I’d love to have this feature.

Edit: I’m talking about the capability to lock in 3rd person view
