Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

Look 1:02

I know it is just after start, but it seems to handle itself well
0:28

Also on another note

Apperantly some Javelins were upgraded with the starstreaks guidance system which could make them viable as a lower tier guided Missle aa when we don’t get out tracked rapier, which is badly needed at this point

Yea, LMM also uses the smae LOSBR guidence as starstreak, that is why they can be fiered from the same launchers without much preparation

@Smin1080p Greetings to you on this beautiful day.
I dont know if you remember that talk, but after it i made the suggestion, and i have a question for you. Can you see pending suggestions, and if so can you tell me what do i need to provide and/or change for it to be accepted? I think i got all the relevant data that is publicly avaiable.

So like how the Aspide works?

So it is like the bang-bang control or what?

Nevermind. Watched the video. That is strange.

Im not sure how aspide works

I dont know if it is pid or bang bang (i would say pid as it is a modern missile), but the seeker and the fins have are connected to the rest of the missile using a bearing, so the fins does not spin as fast as the rest, even not spinning at all

The Aspide has 4 separate control servos for all 4 of the fins. The Sparrow and SF have 2 motors and as such it is less manoeuvrable.

Why even spin the missile if the guidance is stabilised against it? The stinger has the 1D movable canards and uses rolling motion to move.

Yes, LMM works like that.

Dont ask me, im not the one making it

The good news with Tracked Rapier is we can equip the Mk1E (given its the correct timeframe) so we can have a proxy fuse

Nice maybe a useable SPAA

might be. trouble is it would have absolutely no assistance in tracking. no radar, no IR sights, just optical tracking. and it’d still be player guided

in that sense, the lack of thermal sights (at least, that i’m aware of) would make it worse than the Strela or Ozelot. Not to mention the mobility was… sub-par by all accounts

Wikipedia claims that tracked rapier was upgraded with a thermal sight / tracker. Don’t have time to properly look into it now though.

Britain could definitely do with a spaa around 7.0 and 9.0 atm. The Stormer AD could potentially be 9.7 seeing as its mobility isn’t as good the LAV-AD, the rapier with thermals (maybe search radar?) could potentially go 10.7? I’d personally still like to see something 7.7 but i don’t know what other options there are.

Hmmm, might very well have done now I think about it. Though I have my doubts seeing as it didn’t fit a Darkfire module that I know of.

Gaijin should remove the stormer from the tree until they can fix the thing. Its literally not usable in its only role.

I’ve found its a better BMP dispatcher than it is Surface to Air. The exception being heli killer.

I just bring the za 35 now. Although it’s never a good sign that the za 35 is now in my top 10 tanks, maybe even top 5……

I use falcon for my 10.3 lineup. Pretty efficient 😂 kills tanks too

Our team was smashed and 5 of the enemy team decided to overrun our spawn… I died and spawned the Falcon and massacred them all before dying to someone outside of spawn lol well worth it XD

Sees spawn full of enemies, pulls out ol reliable. Either that or the old MTTD as I can just slaughter with its autoloader. What I would do for dm63 and it being moved up.
