Interesting.

Wonder how much that will help with people not seeing them coming.

It didn’t have almost any smoke anyway. The problem is one of the most prominent tracers in the game.

Yeah, that needs to be fixed. Especially given its entirely fictional

errrrr… arent the tracers used to track the missile for beam guidance…

In-game they are just so that you can see the darts without TVD and adjust accordingly.

IRL it’s ACLOS and so you dont need to know where the missile is visually

There is no reason for the Tracers to be as large or bright as they are currently modeled and could be at bare minimum, halved

I doubt it has a tracer. Even if it has something like that, it’s probably ir emitters. It’s a pity that literally no one films the flight of the starstreak, but only the launch.

This is the case, I remember looking into it and you’re pretty much spot on.

Nope. It has IR flares for the guidence system, but that is a maybe. As per manufacturer, Laser receivers are in that tiny space

Posted a video showing it

oh i see they are IR not visual band.

but that is an IF

LOSBR does not need the system to track the missile position. It is the dart that tracks its position inside the beam. some kind of signature is needed for the gathering phase, unless system is able to synchronize them, then it is not.

Low quality thermal image, It can be anything. Not good as a source.

That is a manufacturer video of it firing

Marketing lie then :P

It’s not clear in the video if it’s a tracer or not. Also, there is no statement anywhere about the presence of a tracer or any ir emitter.

Corret, there is none.

is there anyway we could prepose for the stormer to have starstreak mk 2 so we atleast have 8k range with it
