Proximity fused hellfires with additional fragmentation jackets would be usable as anti helicopter weapons, yes. We’d need radar changes to make AGM-114L able to track a helicopter locked up though.
Every time I’ve attempted to use SARH missiles on a helo out of ground clutter the missile refused to lock until gun range.
Have heard versions of AGM-114R also have proximity fuses and fragmentation jackets, those could probably be in game now.
But I digress; this is the Stormer HVM thread, not the AGM-114 thread.
Helis have an artificially nerfed heat and radar signal
Can we please, please, PLEASE, have a god damned fix for these missiles ASAP. My Starstreaks are phasing through virtually everything now, when before the update I’d at least be able to hit things with them without phasing through them. Make them proxy missiles with explosives if you have to, I don’t care as long as I can hit an aircraft without phasing through them.

1 word AHEAD , gajin hates the option to give things proxy attributes as a temporary fix
Or they can give Stormer Martlet. It is a possible fix. But it wont happen :( But then i wonder in what type of guidence it would be, as it has four iirc.

Bug impacts proxy fused missiles as well I’m afriad.

I just had a game where i side penned and one shot 2a6, a puma, a bmp3, class 3 (p), t80u with the three darts
but for anti air purposes it is beyond usesless for anything other then helis and drones and planes flying completely in a straight line
Just to point out that leaving the stormer in this state for so long means Britain has no effective spaa from between 8.3 and 11.7.
Trying to shoot down jets flying in the stratosphere with a gun spaa while they’re dropping laser guided bombs on your head is…. Sub-optimal to say the least.
Fix the goddam stormer. This is frigging ridiculous that issues like the proxy bug can stay in the game for so long, not mentioning the sub standard modelling of the missile in the first place.
Give the dammed thing the LMM missile.

I’ve never had much success with the 8.3s. But apparently there is some form of “Realisitc” induced error in the radar guidance, which is why you just cant seem to hit anything with them,
Sounds like a bug that will be Fixed ASAP
T-80u killed by a British aa
Indeed together with some spaa lacking tracers it’s impossible to hit anything
I am highly sceptical of it being Realistic
Pretty sure it’s a nerf from the times people thought bullpops were bad
I killed a t-72av frontally with the stormer the other day, I think it was the ufp but can’t be sure.
I’m not sure who was more surprised, me or him.
Starstreak got overpressure damage a couple weeks ago. A lot of missiles followed not long after.
Has anyone got any information on the true speed of the star steak? From what I can find it’s Mach 3+ or Mach 4 in all the documents and brochures I’ve seen. So why is it in game limited to Mach 3. Same with the pen although from what everyone else has said I seem to be over pressuring alot more now and was actually surprised when I got an ace against tanks. Shame i can’t do that against air targets.

Well.
I’ve tried it again. It still seems to be phasing through targets.
It’s been what, 3 months since the stormer was broken? Any news on actually fixing the dammed thing? I just had a game, died 3 goddam times to air, could do nothing about it due to the stormer being broken.
It’s been 3 months. Why the hell isn’t this fixed? Can we get a sense of urgency from Gaijin about fixing a bug which is cripping british air defence until the adats arrives?
If you can’t fix it, emergency patch the game to put the imp. chaparel or something in it’s place, but just leaving it is unacceptable.

Anecdotally, it seems even worse when you try to use the Starstreaks on the AH Mk1. I’ve posted a video of 4 missing in a row somewhere.
But yeah the Starstreak and Stormer have been essentially non-useable for months. @Gunjob has said that it’s on the dev radar, and that they are working on a fix for all missiles not detonating correctly.
If it was a Russian vehicle that was predominantly affected by this bug, it would likely not have made it to live. But because it handicaps mostly Britain, we probably won’t see a fix any time soon. Just like the awful APDS mechanics they left broken for six months last year. I’ve stopped playing the UK completely because of this issue - I can’t enjoy top tier ground without my helicopter or spaa working. Much easier to just abuse the broken AF OP Ka-52.
Issue is being taken seriously but it remains open and being worked on. I don’t have an ETA.
