Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

They should just give the option for the Stormer to use Martlet missiles, they’re a more conventional proxy fuse type of missile

My bug report for them passed, hopefully we get them soon

Or Thales LMM, that would also help with its issues.



The stormer in these pictures has 4 Starstreaks and 4 LMM’s (LMM are the tan covered ones)

These missiles have a laser proximity sensor, so they do proxy detonate.

LMM is Martlet.

As AblativeKitten said they are the same missile haha, the naming is confusing

There is my report if anyone is interested

I feel like the stormer has only gotten worse. I’d taken a 6 month break, tried it again this week and it’s just …unusable.

You could set it to any BR and it would be bad, it fundamentally has no real use in the game with how terrible the missile is at this point.

curious, considering your report was accepted for consideration but then closed are they thinking about it or just shut it down lol?? considering they dont normally close it unless its sorted from my experience

No. They do not close it for bugs. For suggestions and real life inaccuracies they close it.

ahh alright, well I mean hopefully something happens at least and thx :)

Make a suggestion in the bug report page with this instead of just leaving it for a tech mod to stumble across?

With the ADAD Brochure and this it should be enough to get Gaijin to give the Stormer/ Ozelot at least 12km target lock

Hmm when did they do this, if you fire 1 then it will track but past a certain range if you fire a second the previous loses tracking where as if you fire 2 together they both track?? In other words if you want too make sure your target is dead you better send 2 off the bat as if you send it just as your first is gonna hit your first will lose all inertia and drop like a rock…

Just had a drone eat 8 starstreaks.

LMM. Now.

Recon or strike drone?

Strike one.

You need to aim slightly off-centre otherwise the rounds just go around the aircraft

Oh, I did. Not my first rodeo. :D

These ones just phased right through him. Managed 2 hits, the first damaged his flap somehow and the second finally took off his tail.

Okay, can anyone with sources on the speed and range of the stormer send them my way. Now that gaijins kinda accepting Janes as a second hand source im gonna try and get that 3.5 mach and extra range against helis if i can. Im fed up with trying to use the ADATS when the stormer is just better. May as well get it usable at top tier. Ive gotten one source being the 2003 edition of the janes land based air defense 2003, it states 3.5 mach along with 7km maximum effective range against a 9g target.

Any help with making would be appreciated as i have no clue about the rules and should do’s.

They do not accept janes as secondary. Only supplementary. Also it is 3.5 in game.
