This actually fits this Buff Starstreak - #27 by Fat_Fury so your’re probably right.

Honestly? Nothing we can do.
There is sod all actual data about it so it’s mostly guesswork and the limitations of physics.
With the lack of a primary source for it, trying to get it corrected is just yelling into the void.
If someone feels like signing up for this, there may be more data
I don’t fancy ending up on a list though.
yes but the devs take russian brochures for info and they buff russian tanks why cant they take into account the data we have or at least make it realistic with simple calculations?
Its £5 i dont mind but how do we prove the information it will provide is not classified?
You probably can’t, but it’s a site for people who defuse explosives for a living (absolute mad lads). I can’t imagine it would be legally encumbered but you never know.
I dont care about legal lmao, more care about getting in trouble on forums. Cause if they suspect it and i cant prove it im cooked.
🤷♂️
It’s been that way for a long time and can be a significant source of friction between gaijin and the community.
Honestly, I’ve given up on them approaching these things in a fair and balanced manor.
I also just remembered about the stormer iff. Does it have it on the dev server yet?
Iff???
IFF
Identify friend or foe
The stormer in game currently doesn’t have it, despite the presence of antennas for it and images of “IFF interrogate” on the display when it’s in combat.

Oh yh i was thinking that earlier aswell, i believe it also has a missile approach warning system aswell like the VERDI-2 Warrior IFV/SPAA
I have the aftermath photos of that helicopter, and i have tons of videos of the stormer inside and out taking down aircraft if u want me to DM you any.
The Stormer in game doesn’t have modelled, the antennas are the black plates above the launch tubes when mounted.
Ok, so if we base it on this image (and revising my very rough calculations I posted in the other thread), and the published dimensions of 396mm length and 22mm diameter of the dart, the warhead section seems to be about 20cm long.
Let’s be generous and say the walls are only 1mm (I’d guess more for fragmentation effect), so the cylinder of explosives would be 20cm long (height h) and have a diameter of 2cm, so a radius r of 1cm.
So as we know a cylinders volume V = π·r²·h, here that would be 62.8 cm³.
And if the used explosive is indeed Composite B, which has a density of 1.7 g/cm³, we’re at a explosives mass of 106.8g.
But as I said, wall thickness (fragmentation mantle) of only 1mm seems quite thin, and I don’t know how the core looks (fuse?).
So I’d also think it would be correct with around 100g per dart - so maybe the stats are not per dart but for all 3 of them combined?

Stormer should have NCTR Too
Every spaa have IFF in its radar screen mode.
They had to find some way to ruin Starstreak for those of us with good ping lmao
Guess we will see how it performs but it’s not looking promising.
Stomer has IFF in the radar screen, but all targets are ‘Enemy’
I dunno what I suggested that was that awful. The stormer HVM as it is in game has
- No IFF panels
- No Martlet
This would fix those issues, without changing the BR of the base stormer HVM.
The stormer HVM should only have IFF if it has the IFF panels as seen here posted by @AblativeKitten , which it currently does not have.
These pannel’s are an upgrade that allow it to have IFF, so currently the only info it should show on the radar screen is distance, speed and possibly vehicle type? ie, helicopter, jet, but no friendly identifier AFAIK.

Still simpler/better to get IFF/NCTR and then bug report the missing panels

I’m sure gaijin would claim that to add them, it would require a comprehensive remodel of the vehicle ((which to be fair, would be nice to bring it up to standard)) so wouldn’t do it.
