As I’ve said multiple times before: ZA-HVM (you will give it to us mockup or not) or Stormer AD.
Also Stormer HVM prototype (allegedly)

What missiles did it was supposed to use?
Not the stormer, the ZA. I cant find anything at all
Ok i found it would use Umkhonto prototype. Interesting 20km IR SAM. Prototpye would probably have less range.
From what I can tell the missiles used were just known as ZA-HVM. It was an IR missile to replace the crotale used on the cactus. It was developed into the Umkhonto for use with the navy. I would assume it’s a worse version of the block I missile.

so i give it 8-10km range and it can rest as it will never be here
F-16AJ and the Yak-41M. They still wouldn’t give us it because we’re British but if they ignore the rules sometimes then they should either ignore it all of the time or none of the time. None of this pick and mix shit

I wish they would at least give the MTTD dm63, move it up and call it a day
I’m telling you, the stormer air defence is the perfect solution.
IR missiles, 25 or 30mm gun, stormer chassis. It’s perfect to fill the spaa gap. I can see it sitting at 9.3 same as the strela, possibly 9.7 depending on the belts for the gun and which stingers it receives. it is, quite frankly, stupid we don’t have it yet.
We won’t get it, because it would be fun and Gaijin but it would be perfect.

When you look at the damage models of the Su25 and Kamov helicopters, it becomes quickly apparent there is nothing ultra-complex/realistic going on. It’s just a bit more involved than arcade shooters where you can hit the same place over and over again. There are some mechanics, like tank steering, which are awful compared to games like World of Tanks.
I’ve not seen them claim this before. Are they seriously claiming they can’t get the Stormer HVM launcher to properly slew-cue targets because it will put too much computational load on the servers?
That was when stormer was introduced. Radars were then rather new things so i got it, but now it wont work so they do not use it. SImply no for ballance or any other thing they fancy say

You guys were not kidding when you said the starstreaks were broken. I got my first chance to test them in the test drive and it’s the worst SPAA in the game hands down. After launching 20 or so times i was just laughing at how it can’t really kill anything.

It’s a joke when it comes to aircraft and for helis you have to rely on the heli pilot suffering from brain damage.
Which… Heli pilots so. Probably fine on that regard.

Funnily enough I was playing a sim match and managed to kill 5 helicopters with the Stormer. It could be a connection issue but my internet isn’t reliable either so idk.
Tbh when the stormer works it’s one of the best SPAA in game. I can quite easily take out 8 or so jets/helis with it when the phase through bug isn’t rampant

Based Stormer enjoyer. Its really frustrating its so broken right now.
Helicopters are less impacted by the current bug as they’re moving slower and have much lower angular velocity. Also from my testing with Smin seemed radial velocity was also a hard cap of if the missile would work. Over a certain speed it would phase through regardless of angular velocity.
Basically its turbo fucked.
