soo martlets dont have proxi fuse on the dev

Data mine suggests they have one with a 2.5 m radius, and a minimum altitude of 25 m.

Does any other missile in-game have a prox fuse min alt?

Not heard of that being a thing in-game before

Pretty sure Vikhr has one

You are talking with a poster who refuses to believe that Meteor can go as far or as fast it can using solid rockets - despite being powered by a ramjet…

They do have a proximity fuse on dev…

I have specifically tested this, they do and the statcard agrees.

They aren’t a huge missile, so dont expect the proxy radius to be huge either (it’s 2.5m)

Pretty sure most SAMs have a 25 m minimum altitude. Not sure what heli missiles have it.

Seperately, the launch window for Martlets seems to be tiny, you need to be pointed exactly at the target to fire them.

This seems a bit odd as they are quite manuverable, hopefully we see it fixed as its quite a lot more limited than the Vikhr for example.

Apart from that they seem to be pretty good

Javelin (the British missile, not the American missile) had a 3 m proximity fuse radius, so I guess there might be a case for increasing Martlet to 3 m as it is a descendent of Javelin.

thought the same, cant even fire at the target from a hover. Was expecting a far larger area, at least vertically, if not horizontally

That sounds reasonable, it appears that the current trigger radius is just copied over from the Vikhr

Compare it to the Vikhr and it’s tiny, it might just be a placeholder but in general it really needs changing. I can’t think of any reason it should be that constricted.

However, I’m not entirely sure how to go about reporting it

Yeah, they’ll want 15000 primary sources for it.

The best option I can think of is looking at the videos of it being fired and what the attitude of the heli is at the time of firing

Like here, its not just in a hover, but actually lofting hte missiles slightly, though might also be the camera angle.

its 5 degrees wide on both. Vikhr can just move in its mout.

They both have same launch zones
