Yep, afaik it’ll have to be integrated with UAI
Iirc the powered GBU-53 was an entry to Spear 3 so I think it is well within reality, could probably be done within a year tbh.
The Anduril cruise missiles are called Barracuda-M. The one I am talking about as alternative is the 250lb one (Barracuda 250)
F-35 is specifically mentioned
So I managed to do the funi in the HP 12
But I was wondering, why is it that the tail lewis guns have absolutely tiny firing arcs? Like they can only really shoot off the side of the plane and have effectively nothing over the rear/above the tail area.
Is that historical or just gaijin trying to make it even harder to defend yourself in the worst bomber in WT? XD
Also I noted that when you look from under the plane, theres holes/compartments for another 8 bombs, should it be carrying 16 not just 8?
yeah they have a very large deadspot in the rear
nothing on the model that would suggest such a large deadzone, let alone any (bar the tailplane itself)
i think thats for smaller bombs, WIkipedia states a max bombload of 2000lb, which the current bombload is 1840lb, maybe someone will put a bug report about the missing smaller bombs at some point according to Wikipedia’s Operational history section there are 112lb bombs which were used to attack the SMS Goeben but Wikipedia is obviously not a valid source for any sort of bug report

I made a report with a couple ingame screenshots showing the massive deadzone the plane suffers from. Frankly it isnt worth spending hours/money trying to find proof that the mounting would allow the lewis gun to fire over the rear.
Hopefully a little common sense applies and gaijin give us the ability simply for balance because its errr, yeah.
as thought, you need OEM manuals for it, lmao… GL finding OEM on a lewis gun mounting on a niche aircraft lads xD
“feels off” for turret traverse scimitar nerf is fine though xD
They just wanted to nerf them and they were given a reasonable excuse and a scapegoat. Should be like 40-45°/s anyway
Britain in a nutshell
I feel like AMRAAMs should have 200km range :P
i was under the impression the turret was manually driven due to it not having a stab for the reason it was seen as redundant if it was gonna go offline in a nuclear strike anyway, or is that just an old wives tale? Everything about British procurement baffles me to no end tbh…
Fox/Scim are manual yes
Also, most images I have seen of the plane from WWI seem to show it with a twin lewis mount on the nose ring position, would be a thing to report too if anyone finds an OEM xD.
Guys could you ask your government to buy like 1 rafailure? I feel like it’s the fastest way to finally get it nerfed.
Nahz we’ll just get a C&P Indian one sooner rather than later and then it will get nerfed hard Vis Britain tax
you can clearly 2 two mounted in this Image
And i Believe you can see the mounting point for Two here

bug report for those who want it
Nicely done ^^
now we just need gunjob or someone to swoop in and accept it now
can’t wait to see this thing on the H.P.12, it’d turn it into a low tier GRB gem, even more so since the Chesapeake lost its 1000lb bomb
Yeah, this plus useable defensive lewis guns over the rear zone would make it a really worthwhile pick up imo.
Still feels so weird no lewis gun firing over the tail, like you would think that they would “know” this would be a major issue location and given you can find sources of the complaints for the V/1500 tail specifically causing issues for defensive firing which lead to a redesign… well, it would have likely been something commented on how “this massive area we are attacked from, well we cant return fire…” and stick another gun on it if it was an issue
@Smin1080p_WT sooo its been a good 2 weeks since this post and we still have yet to see the patch go live, did it run into more issues being fixed or is gaijin just… not pushing it to live yet?
Given that the Rapier is unplayable (not even meme, this thing cant even shoot down prop planes/unarmoured tiny helis without multiple direct hits yet alone hopium vs jets or hinds) and its next to 3 weeks since the patch was released, it does feel like gaijin just… dont really care about the issue.
Zenturion even made a video a few hours ago talking about how the Rapier STILL isn’t fixed…
It’s kind of comical at this point
