Oh i haven’t even bothered buying the ADATs I know it’s crap.
With the change to missiles and how they work they removed the at part of its capabilities. It wiggles and barrel roles all over the place making any kind of accurate hit impossible. Its like facing a shtora.

I imagine the missiles just wouldn’t hit as the automatic targetting the game uses isnt accurate enough.
It works fine for proxy fuse SPAA, but only as they have a proxy fuse.

Thats a good shout as it is a kinetic interceptor, the auto leading system would likely cause the missile to miss. Leading to further reports and work to fix a system they know they cannot make work.
the new system doesnt give autolead. just allows for more control over what you lock (is what i got from others).
Yea, it does not lead, but its better at keeping the missile centered. Overall it is a improvement compared to the standard lock, but no lead takes place.
I dont think I claimed it autoleads, all it does it automatically track the enemy
I encourage anyone whos interested to try it with the ADATS
Man I’ve never played the stormer, but dang it sucks.
I was in a game with either an Osa-AKM or otomatic and was playing with a dude in a stormer. There was a lot of dumb cas players and I felt bad I was getting all the air kills so I told him he could have the next one.
I then watched the stormer have to fire all 8 missiles just to get a slow stalled out german tornado IDS

The Stormer requires some skill to use (and low ping)
I dont think its bad, however the new SPAA sight has made other anti-air such as the OSA a lot better and the stormer lacks it
After testing, the new system does in fact give autolead at least for gun armed SPAA systems.
In the stormer AD you can select a target and as long as it is within range, it will automatically calculate the range/lead for the 25mm cannon. It’s really good, the lead is very accurate
You can consistently hit up to around 3km
Stormer is great until you phase through targets, only get multiple “Hit!” markers, see someone who uses weapons at stand off range, a jet gets within 2km, or there is a hint of clouds somewhere tens of km in the background which for some reason makes your IRST totally ineffective and therefore your lock on.

you know, a simple fix to this… would to be JUST GIVE IT GD MARTLET MISSILES.
But i have a feeling, even interacting with anything british high tier puts a sour taste in the mouths of the devs, thats why they are so happy to ignore it.

I can see it already, the martel doing no damage just like the rapier. They seem to think small war heads means no damage while allowing an r60 to one shot most things if it even gets close to it. Funny, as the r60 was known to do very little damage irl and had to get a direct hit to kill for the most part, although this was on an airliner or something.

No, the biggest fear is that the Martlets missiles have a certain degree of anti-tank ability and therefore the Stormer HVM is no longer a 10.3 SPAA but an 11.3 because it can defend itselfs

depends on how much pen they have, ive heard multiple different stats. some say 250mm others say up to 600… Either way i think itll be 11.7 minimum if gaijin have their way. Its why i want it to be its own variant otherwise we would lose a “decent” (depends on the time of day and how strong the wind is) spaa at 10.3 without me having to get my hands dirty with the osa and strela.

I refer to my previous statement that, we need two stormer HVM’s. One with the IFF flap paddles on the top of the launchers, with Starstreak and Martlet called Stormer HVM (Late), and the current one without martlet still at 10.3. That way they can just put the Late version at 11.3 with its martlets and have it still be a fun British SPAA until they add the Sky Sabre.
If they cant fix the current HVM, we need another one with Martlet separate. cause its shameful how it works currently. A tiny bit of elevated ping and all you will get are hits, no crits, and you don’t even get the new AA overlay like every other radar SPAA in the game because its been selectively not given it. I genuinely cant understand how its been broken for SUCH a long time.
edit: If this were an SPAA for ANY other nation, I doubt it would take a week to iron out the issues with it. But its been broken for literally YEARS. not days, not months, YEARS. Do they just not care?.. Its honestly concerning, because it speaks volumes to how much of a priority the bug reports are seeming as they haven’t fixed it.
Please for the love of god, do SOMETHING to this vehicle to make it usable.

They do not.
It took them 8 months to fix it when it was quite literally useless and the darts were just passing through aircraft. They could have mitigated it with a HE warhead LMM, but just chose not to and ignored it.

It gives you autolead for gun and saclos missiles.

It does not auto lead missiles. It provides better and smoother guidence, but the missile does not lead.
If it guide missile instead of you it’s auto lead.
