Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

It goes without saying really.

So I just tried out the latest stormer on the dev server.

These are the results :

Just using it :

This is how the darts move at range. Some weird line thing going on :

I noticed the VT1 now has a smokeless 2nd stage motor but I’m not 100% if it did already anyway

Also those weird lines are in the live version.

So they are, I never noticed before.

My live reaction to them successfully making it even worse than the practically unusable state it is in currently.

Also yes, looking at old clips I have saved the darts definitely appear to be further apart.

Yes.

We may have a major problem here.

Watch this, it looks like it isn’t playing at first, but it is :

This is the TEST DRIVE, where I never had the phasing thing before. There are no latency issues, or server positioning issues. The darts passed straight through the centre mass of the aircraft.

I slowed it down so you can see, they just pass straight through so they may have infact made it worse.

Heh, just wanted to highlight it as I never had this happen on the test drive before, it’s always been well behaved on there for me.


Im not sure what to say so i will leave this here

Yeah the phase through bug never applied in test drive before.

Fixing an absolutely debilitating issue that is plaguing a vehicle and making it functionally unable to kill planes more often than not in gameplay? I sleep.

Nerfing it without fixing this? Real shit.

Can we please… Please just have this vehicle actually work as advertised, no random loss of lock, missile separating without loosing turn rate, missiles actually connecting, give it its KE damage over range like the losat, tracers from the micro missiles only visible to the operator… The list goes on

Can we extend this thread to the ADATS? I know I’ve gone on about it before too much but it is still bugging in some way however not to the extent as the Stormer.

no

lmao

The whole Stormer situation … It doesnt work… lets nerf it, and make much much worse.

Like the whole game…

Next major update: Stormer darts have a chnace to fail during separation. If that happens they wont separate and wont fly. So every time you fire you have a random number of dart between 3 and 0.
/j i hope

Don’t.

I had a dream the other night where gaijin got so fed up of people wanting the challenger 2 fixed they changed the default round from apfsds to hesh.

I need a war thunder break I think.

What do you guys think of the Stormer HVM prototype to replace the production model when it inevitably gets Martlet? Speaking of which should the Apache get them also?
