Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

Trust me, if somehow you manage the stormer to work i would donate happily 😊

You know what, for Rank 6 and above yes you probably should for Ground. Air is a different matter

Just played a few games, and it’s worse than it was before
(on the EU server with 29-31 ping):

Straight-flying planes:

  • If the plane comes toward me, the phase-through rate is 100%.
  • If the plane is flying away from me, there’s a medium - good chance to hit.

Planes flying sideways:

  • Even if I manage to aim well, the phase-through rate is still around 100%.

Against small helis:

  • Can’t hit them; darts just fly through.

Against bigger helis:

  • It’s a 50-50% chance to hit them.

It’s a huge disappointment, worse than ever. They said a fix was coming, but it seems like another lie.

I just played a game and got 5 kills out of launching 7 missiles. I always aimed slightly in front and seemed to always get hits on targets. Missiles that missed were because they were side of and i didn’t lead enough.

Here is a server replay. I OPd a t72 (should not be happening) then tried to kill a SU25 and a MIG, all phased trough.

i just tryed it 2/3 missile flew through the plane

3 just connected with a tiger helicopter centre mass zero damage , the a 2s38 just 1 taps it … ok game

yeah stuff like this is ridiculous. At this point I just play the UK tree to collect the vehicles. They are by no means on a level playing field with the Russian or even US vehicles.

The problem is when you get every vehicle. What am I meant to grind now as all of them are shot lol.

They will do both, and move it up in br at the same time.

That still confuses me the most. How do they think it’s worth the 10.3 br it’s at. All it has is quantity.

2 Quick Videos:

The second shoot in the first video was a miss, its OK

the darts are too far apart

They don’t think, too much for them to handle. Only thought they have is money and how to extract it from you

honestly on my first couple of games with it:

How the heck does anyone play without thermals. i cant see my missile half the time…

How on earth do you hit anything in it. And yes, I am leading. the tracking system is wonky as all hell, getting spoofed by a tiny tree and then flares

Off the top of my head the Track System shouldnt be spoofed by flares. While in the clip below it doesnt, i have had that happen to me.

Yeah, there is nothing modelled correctly about this vehicle, and they seem to be managing to make it worse every major update even with accurate documentation.

I hate to whine, but genuinely it’s horrific. And we’re expected to cope with this being our top AA until we get the ADATS…

I genuinely hate this thing and i’ve played 5 games of it.

It used to be fantastic about a year ago, probably the best top tier SPAA.
Now it is likely the most broken vehicle in the entire game.

What makes it more annoying is that it used to at least be very good at dealing with helicopters, and with a bit of practice you could consistently take down jets too. I don’t know what they’ve done to break it so much over the last year.
