Work-In-Progress: AW159 Wildcat

huh, all ive heard about it was that it would roughly be ~250mm. I take it back then.

at a guess i think we’re looking at 400-500mm pen and no tandem charge?

Yep, the penetration sits somewhere within 400-600 range, and it is not tandem.
There is a possible tandem warhead for it, but we don’t know if it was ever made.

“Each of those blocks is only 50 mm thick, so penetration has been set to 300 mm” - Gaijin (probably)

This and the possible prox fuze for the zt3a2 missile might make the british heli tree quite interesting.

well well, they actually did it congrats man

It’s been changed. Now they’re saying they’ll give it SPIKE NLOS, but without MITL - no actual NLOS capability

So it’ll just be SPIKE with potentially more range (limited by line of sight), but significantly heavier and likely slower, and you can carry less of them than other SPIKE-equipped choppers

Honestly Wildcat would be better off with just having Martlet and a lower BR.

A vehicle made by italy and Uk.
But gaijin hate for italy is legendary and so italy can’t have it.

Ty gaijin, you never fail to disapoint me with

What skill have to do with gaijin hating italy?

That’s false. The parent company is partially owned by an Italian company, but there was no involvement as far as publicly known from the Italian side of Augusta Westland.

I’m not saying it doesn’t have some Italian participation (almost 100% unrelated vehicle), there will likely be Finmeccanica parts in that heli, and possibly influence by their design philosophy, but as it stands the Italian side of Agusta Westland had only little involvement as far as I have been able to find out.

  • No italian service or in the other nations in its tree
  • No italian orders
  • No Italian army/navy trials (unless I’m mistaken and I missed some)
  • Barely any manufacturing by Italian parts of Agusta Westland.
  • Almost solely produced by British-based companies (even if through Agusta Westland)
  • British service
  • British trials
  • British export

Asking for this Heli in Italy makes in my personal opinion as much sense as for asking for all BAE vehicles in the UK (including almost all CV90’s).

I’m quite sure is made by leonardo now
is even in their official site

but thank you for confirming gaijin historical hate for italy

Even then, this proves nothing.

No, it confirms nothing as you suggested. You cope too much.

By his reasoning no one should get export vehicles that aren’t used by the parent nation Army

also Leonardo do produce that Helicopters

who have supplied the 2 AW159 Wildcat helicopters to the Philippines?
Yep is Leonardo

bruh KF41 moment but Italian again

Then present your counterproof to respond to the following points as outlined by @Thomas_Belgium:

AFAIK, all export vehicles in the game were, at least, trialed by the parent nation’s military branch.

Are you sure every single export vehicle (like the VT-4 A1) have been trialed?

Yes the UK arm of Leonardo, with little to no input from the Italian arm…

Perhaps not every single export vehicle. Some were due to special circumstances, I am sure. If you can point out other specific examples, let me know.

Regarding the VT-4… it is designed and produced by a 100% Chinese company, Norinco. It’s a fair game for China to get it in its tree, even though it should go to Thailand as well, in my opinion.

rule for thee but not for me, as usual with gaijin, and ofc the “special circustances” like not having a particulaarly strong helicopter tech tree isn’t strong enough.
Is just a vehicle made by leonardo now after all, so ofc we can’t have it
But with this, accordig to the suggestion mod those tanks should not be in the chinese tech tree. rules are rules right?
