For some reason, I keep hoping that the stormer air defence will be dropped in quickly to help.
Stingers and a 25mm cannon on a stormer chassis. We have the gun, we have the missiles, we have the chassis. It literally just needs the turret modelling and we’re good to go.
Our research shows the warhead on british stingers was actually replaced by styrofoam in order to attempt to reduce the weight, therefore the missile will only deal kinetic damage.
On further development we’ve found that the foam in fact contains healing properties that apply to Russian aircraft, so on detonation they act to repair already damaged control surfaces XD
As I have said before, provided Tracked Rapier with the Mk1E missile was provided that’d be okay. That’d at least give a weapon with proximity fuse likely at a BR lower than the Stormer. From what i’ve seen the service ceiling of most Rapier missiles is about 10,000ft.
