There is still 0 reason why the 2s38 is 10.0 other than the fact it’s a premium soviet vehicle. If it was anywhere else it would be 10.7 easily

Nice opinion, however i do not care how you think the 2s38 is op.
And I do not care that you think starstreaks were OP first spawn. They weren’t. Just soviet mains got mad they couldn’t ka50 rush with impunity

Too bad, gaijin agreed with it and removed it. Go seethe somewhere else
And Gaijin agreed with the entire community and nerfed the hell out of the Mig23 and 2S38.
Ka50 and Ka52 are next on the chopping block next major update 😂
And? I don’t mind. Now they see the mig23 and 2s38 to be not op anymore. I literally wouldn’t even care if they got nerfed into oblivion. And they still see 2s38 as worthy of 10.0.

They all still need more nerfs. Still 10.7 worthy, they were 11.3 worthy before
Nice opinion, however idc.
Weird flex but okay. Don’t need to air your skill issues in public like this.

People have been throwing around “comparable to 40mm ammunition when used against ground targets” so I’d expect at least 50 to 60mm at point blank.
Getting 1 tapped by a 2s38 is the same, skill issue lol.

I remember calculating the penetration of just the AP tip measured by a cutaway with Gaijin’s DeMarre formula a while back in this thread and it still reached ~60mm ignoring all of the dart behind it. 30mm is woefully low.

Is there anything that can be done to make stormer easier to use in the <3km range? Doesn’t the thingo sort out its own tracking once the target gets covered in the silly laser square?
“But Ka 52 is actually a struggle because it isn’t agile and the missiles sometimes don’t work”
That aside, 52 is fun, but it’d be more fun with credible defenses to fly against. Though 2s38 is a bit fucked, really don’t get how it and the HSTVL (This thing is not okay fighting 10.3s) are not deemed necessary of 11.7.
Ka52 just got it’s crystal clear thermals back. They reverted the change lol…

Its hopefully getting an overhauled damage model next major upadte which means it will no longer be able to tank hit after hit with minimal impact.
Though lets hope other nations get similar buffs then. Still waiting for TIALD to be modeled as Gen 2

All the have to do is remove the demi-god buff pilots have in this game. The co-pilot in comparison has stage-10 cancer and dies by sneezing on him. Meanwhile the pilot gets to survive 150kg explosives

Yeah, that would do it. Once had a alouette take a 120mm straight through the cockpit headon and barely scratched it. Biggest issue with the Stormer is the Starstreaks can sometimes punch straight through a target without really doing major damage

Aim for engines always, rotor shaft preferably. Tail is viable only if it’s not kamovs ( I heard they fixed other helis that could still fly without a tail rotor.
Never shoot a ka52 at the radome or cockpit, I’ve survived way too much bullshit that way
When you fire at a heli and they immediately begin evading the shot because you can spot the starstreaks for a mile away with your eyes closed, just aiming to hit the target. Rarely get the luxuary of choosing where they will hit
