Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

Well, i do not have them. You must ask around. Look who made starstreak reports, scroll around this topic and ask those who had them. Those who took part should have them. But if they share it is another story

Also, it’s interesting that the effective range that is mentioned in this document is between 300-7000 meters. does that mean that it’s guidable starting from 300? :D

It has to do with separation, darts starting to guide ect… Im not sure where are we now, im just a passerby on the Stormer topic

I certainly read it that way. Lets do some maths (full disclosure, I got ChatGPT to do this for me)

I used 16.82kg for the mass of the star streak, it’s the best I could find, it’s probably lighter as the mass I used may have included the missile tube.

The 20000 newtons comes from the datamine posted quite a way up.

Chaning this to a picture, as I’m never going to get it to format correctly:

That would seem to indicate the missile has travelled almost 500m based on the 0.64s booster burn time from the same datamine.

EDIT - almost 500m using the game data, not talking about real life.

I also now see why teachers are so very concerned about ChatGPT.

remember that the starstreak has a starting booster.

You can see it lag behind.
It all happens before cover falls to the ground
Starstreak is a VERY fast missile
here you can see it zoom

Oh, for sure. I’m looking for the values of it now in the datafiles :

I’m now curious about how far the darts go in game before they’re controllable so I’m on a mission.

Oh man, good luck in the spagetti code

That rapid ranger would be such a nice addition.

is it really worth the effort?

Not at all, lol

It’s that or the laundry, and I don’t want to do the laundry.

From my calculations, they separate after 720m, but im not sure about the carrier speeding up, so it might be shorter

Goddam that would be nice. That is a fine looking truck.

They start at 142m/s and their mass is 14kg:

All this gives :

Which seems way too low, both through in-game experience and how they are in real life.

Gonna give up, gotta sort that laundry.

separation should be between 300-500m
Here comes someone who knows

Separation IRL was at ~370 m

Ok, now how it is in game, time to check using the oldest way possible. Distance and damage cam
At least on live rn can be checked

On live it is somewhere between 330 and 310, hard to tell
around 315 i think
