Just another example of them assuming the worst for Western equipment, when they assume the best for russian tech. Reality is the opposite.

Mach 3+ velocity - in game ~ 3.3 mach max speed
In terms of speed, everything matches the Thales statement.
A joke is, that enemy planes see the projectile incomming…
The one thing I wish they would remove is the sound missiles make. People can hear super sonic missiles coming towards them in jets and helis wich gives them a massive advantage to countering them.
Yeah, that’s a problem. I’m too think it should be less visible without that huge red tracer. I keep trying to find a good video with starstreak. But almost nowhere can you see the missile flight itself. Usually only launch and hit.
You also have the added thing in WT, that laser intensity isnt modeled. IRL, its unlikely that a heli like the Ka-52 would detect that a Stormer had locked on with a laser as it has a low-intensity laser. In game. they are immediately warned of the lock and start reacting before you’ve even fired

I think that goes for any helicopter. Most laser warning systems produced so far can not detect laser beam-riding missiles because of their weak emissions which have signals less than 1% of laser range finder power.
And it pretty impossible to add this feature because there 0 data about laser intensity of different beam riding missiles and almost 0 data about different lwr sensitivity. It would be 99.9% imagination of devs.
Yet they actually impelemented to tanks that has LWS system.
Current beam riding missiles fired from helicopters doesnt warn ground vehicles that has LWS system, i believe same thing can be done to helicopters easily.

The reason because of this is due to low power lasers…. I wonder what other vehicles have this. It’s just gaijin not picking what is added to fit their “balance” they really couldn’t care less about realism.
Might be, what im saying is it will be a good choice to start.
Nah same here, just stating facts and throwing some ideas from time to time.
At this point im jıst trying to enjoy my favourite vehicles(even tho they have many inaccurities).

I’m staying at 7.0, 7.7 and 10.3. Seem to be having some fun there but a running theme is either lack of any damage or facing tanks that far outclass you despite being in an extremely good tank for the br (challenger mk2 and mk3). Plus apds is terrible, so is hesh. Just everything british.

10.3 is the best

Black night and vikrh (лазерное облучение = laser warning)
Sure…
That was a bug… All lws couldn’t see beam riding. They fixed it. All lws now see all beam riding. If you don’t believe invite me to custom game right now, launch beam riding at me and i will record screen for you.
He’s not wrong, I often get lws from ka-5x when driving something with a lws.
Didnt saw fix implementation on Uptade blogs, when did they do that?
A stealth fix, somewhere before the update

A couple of weeks ago. Most likely the fix was combined with alpha strike update.
