Thanks for the response.
Once the Spikes have been implemented and tested on the devs side, and the performance/BR discrepancy becomes clear, I do hope that two separate variants is something that is at least considered by the devs, it solves the problem of the platform either
A) being brought up to a BR where LMMs are functionally redundant, or
B) being implemented without its best weapons
But, like I said, thanks for letting us know the current plan.
Then imo if you are still planning to implement Korean nation in some way, I think it would be wiser to safe Spike option for them and implement British variant without Spike, but at more comfortable BR.
Only to have the same issue come up with the Korean Wildcat? I’m not sure how that helps haha.
At least it would be unique in some way)
I mean it will anyway should they choose to introduce it as the ROK version has Sky Guardian 2500 with ESM which the UK Wildcat with Sky Guardian 2000 lacks.
Yeah depends on how potent MITL is and how effective the wildcat can be without LDIRCM
ROK has Leonardo’s SAGE system for ESM.
SAGE HADAF antennas are on the tail boom, behind the fuselage chaff dispensers.
Yeah 2500 integrates with SAGE for its ESM function.
The modern SEER+SAGE setup as below;
The RoK Navy also equips its AW159s with one of Leonardo’s electronic warfare systems, an advanced digital ESM called ‘SAGE’, with embedded radar warning receiver which provides high-accuracy single platform geo-location.
Integrates with the existing RWR (Sky Guardian 2500) in this case.
Nice
When aw249 tho
Some early Italian helicopters would be cool as well, still hate the fact that Gaijin was teasing us with TT expansion in the past and since then we have only got Hungarian Hinds… That’s a shame that Agusta is represented so poorly in the game.
At least GB, which also doesn’t get much in terms of helicopters, receives 159.
@Smin1080p_WT, sorry for the ping
but i would like an opinion on this
Its the best and to be honest only option sweden has for a heli thats a higher br than the AHS is now
and its odd (to me) that gaijin hasnt added it still
When its handed over to italy
Do we know the range of the LMM when fired from a heli? Ive heard 6-7km from stationary so im wondering if it would maybe push it to 8km on a heli.
Personally i would prefer it without spikes as helis at top tier isnt the most fun, but if it only got the LMM at 11.3/.7 i think they could work as they would be basically british attaka missiles with the ability to APS incoming missiles.
@Smin1080p_WT Hey, regarding the said addition possibility of a SPIKE ATGM variant (talking about the quote below:)
If the SPIKE NLOS (the SPIKE variant used with the AW159) will get implemented into the game, would we see it on Israeli helicopters as well?
The AH-64D-I Saraph does use the SPIKE NLOS in active duty (Reference image included below).
And since the SPIKE NLOS has “NLOS” capabilities, if it will be added into the game, will it be balanced with the previous dev-version MITL?
Also regarding SPIKE ATGMs, Israel needs major improvements in its helicopter capabilities. since the Spike ER is lacking in range and explosive power.If not the SPIKE NLOS, Perhaps the SPIKE ER2? It would include increased range with MITL capabilities, and a more powerful warhead.
That sentence doesnt make sense.
Ypu are proposing spike er 2 instead of spike er 2?
We dont have the spike er 2 in game only the 1 .
The implementation of the spiker er 2 and increase to 16km would be a good buff to balamce it to other fnf carriers.
Oh my bad, did a typo 😅
I meant adding the SPIKE ER2 as an upgrade to the currently implemented SPIKE ER.
Also for Isreal, Greek AH-64D and Cypriot H-145M would be awesome additions
Cheers.
Honestly, depending on how easy it is to kill tanks by hitting thier roofs it may honestly be alright at 11.0./11.3. 20 is alot of missiles but with ~250mm of pen i dont think it would be insane to think of.
It will be much more than 250mm
