My God, I can hardly hit a fixed-wing aircraft with Stormer these days, but before the event update, that is, before LOSAT joined, there was no problem at all, I could shoot down up to seven or eight planes in a game, but now it can only cause damage to helicopters, missiles will only pass through fixed-wing aircraft without causing damage, even if my delay is only 40ms, please fix this problem quickly, otherwise this vehicle really can’t be played.
I will say if you do get a clip of it, don’t forget to take an ingame screenshot and grab that CLOG from the same session, all those combined with the video massively help.

Even then it sometimes just goes straight through without any of the three projectiles detonating (GJN is probably lazy and models it as ‘one’ projectile, hence why it continues spinning forever when it doesn’t in real life.)
Is the default key for this print screen? And then I guess the log goes somewhere into my war thunder folder?
Thats probably due to the fact helis are 90% empty in WT. So there is nothing to “hit”
Printscreen ‘PRTSC’ on your keyboard.
Files are saved to your War thunder Install directory(example from my machine);
E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\War Thunder\Screenshots
Same for the CLOG

Starstreak projectiles have explosive in them with a fuse. I would expect it to trigger going the whole way through a Ka-50 regardless of whether it hits something ‘important’. Currently what happens a lot of the time is like a ‘ghost shell’, where it seems like the server isn’t even registering you should have hit them. No hit marker, it just phases through and continues flying on the other side. Doesn’t just happen with helicopters either - I had the same occur against a mig23.
We have seen the effect of a star streak hitting the tail of a helicopter in real life, it detonated inside the tail assembly and removed it from the helicopter.
I don’t know what the answer is, but the empty space in vehicles is a problem for a lot of vehicles.
Yep same bug as other missiles. Did some testing and out of 16 shots I had two kills, 10 shots phased clean through targets and the last 4 where shots I wiffed or target got out of range.

For sure, man. I’ll get you the whole kit and kaboodle <3
Isn’t there a Starstreak II missile? A slightly better range, speed, etc than the one we have in game.
The better option is the Thales LMM or Lightweight MultiRole Missile. Can perform light AT duty, longer range, proxy fuses and is essentially starstreak if it was good
Bit offtopic, but do the British apaches use starstreaks still?
No clue, I can’t even find evidence AH-1 mounted StarStreaks in the first place lol
IIRC they were mounted as a test. No combat usage. Edit: it was proposed to be, it does not exist yet?
a U.S test on AH-64As I believe
Pretty sure it was only trialed and wasn’t fielded.
The LMM has a reported range of 7.5KM so not much better.
