I think the copiums gotten to you… Been using it myself and it still can barely pull with a plane that doesn’t even know its coming, plus the phasing issue was always a connection issue so you probably just had a good game.
What we need is the auto guidance function it has irl, as it would make it actually usable at distances closer than 3km where you need to lead the missile anyway.
Honestly, I’ve been dying to stormers quite a lot (when they actually shoot at me) lately
Probably very ping dependant but even in my kurnass it sometimes manages to get hits
I think thats due to the new desert warrior, its got quite a few of us to actually come back to our main nation, been grinding italy so far but decided to give it a brake to make sure i have every british tank and jet again.
Although i have been noticing that the stormer can barely hold a lock on a jet further than 4km in slightly cloudy weather, but can lock a scout drone from 10km away (it should even be able to lock a jet at those ranges but here we are). They need to make it so it cant see those fking drones as the just cluter my lock.
Actually was last update, I haven’t had any stormers actually shoot at me this update, kinda been farming those poor little things
Very simple answer my friend, AHmk.1 Apache (British) has the starstreak from the start of the game and was deleting Light tanks, basically was a free ATGM so nerf it got, you can thank the players for that one not gaijin
I feel like if gaijin gave them 0.25m proxy fuze to compensate for desync it would solve a lot of its issues
Thank the player base for killing the scum of the earth (bmp 2m, 2s38s, etc, aka, scum of the earth). They just got maldy because a couple of us were making sure our team could actually get up cas (by killing the pantsirs), as normally we would be stuck on the ground while they had every heli, jet and drone up none to man.
They did give them a proxy fuze a while back, it actually kinda fixed them, they soon removed it… i wonder why.
every plane or helicopter I’ve shot at, I’ve killed. Granted I’m running gigabit internet and had a ping of like 32 max so that may be playing it’s part, but - dare i say it - i enjoyed playing the stormer tonight.
From Australia, it seems to kill things when it connects with them. Unfortunately, not having thermals makes it a bit hard to connect with stuff.
The one target I always had issue with was the strike drones. Missiles phased through those about 75% of the time. Aircraft and helis were fairly reliable (it can be really hard to tell the difference between a phase and a near miss against a turning aircraft).
Just wish we could hit recon drones
I don’t think you “phase” on strike drones, its comes down to Gaijin poor implementation of the “orbit” mechanic Star streaks do.
This is how I aim against drones and it works 99% of the time.
Yeah, that is probably most of the issue
No the ahmk1 is cancer i tried to play the flarakrad and all that happened was i got spawn killed with no chance at shooting down the heli spawning with atgms and then he spammed missiles at my team for the next 5 minutes.
over powered cancer. good thing it got nerfed.
First spawning starstreks were a bit much, but now were stuck with no aams against ka 50 players. All theyve done is make them just as expensive as normal atgms, wich is a stupid decision. what they should have done is make it so helis cant be first spawn, simple as that. They have no right to just rush with rockets and have the chance at getting free kills. I hate helis as much as the next person, but what i cant stand is them nerfing minor nations vehicles while i still have to face cunts in ka 50s who think they are actually good at the game.
Shouldn’t have abused that shit then. Result of mk1 owners own actions. Yall had a chance and used it on abuse.
They’re not free because i can counter them with my spaa now. And i need that so i can also grind the game because most jets trash me from outside of my firing solution.
Now that Ah Mk1 starstreak cheese is gone, gaijin should give the starstreak the correct penetration numbers. 30mm is worse than some HMGs, nowhere close to the numbers advertised by Thales. If gaijin needs to figure out the density of the dart to get a better reading for the pen calculator, that shouldn’t be super difficult to estimate.
What numbers?
It’s basically hollow, the whole dart is packed with electronics and only has a thin (few mm thick) outer body.
We could talk about plenty of other vehicles getting abused (by being under BRed) that aren’t British, ahem Su-25 and Obj.292 ahem
The difference is that the AH Mk.1 is British… hmmmm, I wonder what it could be…
Anyway, getting back to what I was gonna say, the only time I struggle to hit stuff is when they try rolling with either rudder + ailerons, or elevator + ailerons. The tracking function struggles with that and 9 times out of 10 my missile will sail right past. Honest best way to counter that is to make Thermals stock, and remove the massive Tracer that everyone can see. Because there are many things in this world that should not be the same BR as each other, but the Strela and Stormer (right now) should not.
You had any problems tracking jets in the stormer? Ive been having trouble locking out at 5km on “cloudy” maps. Seems strange when i can lock scout drones just fine up till 8km (no idea why that is).
