Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

What about this ?

Starkstreak passing into the A-10 without damge twice ?

You see my reaction : ready to die…

The Discord ping made me check my own Discord :D

It’s a ghost spawn

I’ve played stormer and AHmk1 for pretty much all of StarStreaks phases and I’d say they feel like they can pull 60, I’ve said they felt like they can pull infinite G’s.

The issue is that initial launch moment, the darts don’t respond quick enough so you end up having like a minimum 3km range until it starts pulling properly.

It used to pull instantly and it was basically unavoidable granted the snail didn’t decide the missile will just phase through.

But past 3km, I’ve never had issues of planes out pulling the StarStreaks.

I’ve tested it before aswell, F104 going max speed and StarStreaks still keep up, the issue is at that speed, server fuckery happens and the darts basically dsync.

Also launching StarStreaks activates LWS in like almost a 180 degree field.

When I tested it, helicopters would get a warning when they were sitting at the edge of my screen.

So you can’t hide the fact you’re firing them against helicopters, they’ll always know, even if you don’t aim at them.

Presently intensity of lasers isn’t modeled, as such they don’t have a mechanic for low intensity lasers. This means LWR will detect the stormer guidance laser grid.

The best ive done with it is kill a T80U

Do we know the reason they act like this? It feels like they are still accelerating, surly since the second stage gets them to their max speed they should be most responsive straight after that?
Or am i just being dense?

I don’t know, I don’t even remember if it was related to the missile physics changes.

It used to pull instantly when the booster seperated but now, it only starts pulling in like 2-3 seconds. At that point, plane if it’s going too fast or too close has already exited the optic and the chance for the missile to even pull in time.

I overpressured a Leo 2A6 not long after they gave it the ability to overpressure.

Did the same against a T80U

Did the same to a Abrams. It was memes.

Will the Stormer/Starstreak be fixed in the next update?

Most likely no

Feels better due to earlier darts separation

What’s changed?

G pull and separation time
