this is the avtual launch zone of the Vhikr
what you are looking at is the Ka-50 that has pylons that can tilt up and down
Regardless, the launch zone of the Martlet is unrealistically small.
You cannot even fire them at a target while you are hoving, unless you tilt the helicopter forwards. We have seen Wildcats launching at ground targets while hoving, so this cannot be the case.

and your source is what?
Videos of the Wildcat firing…
Exactly, you might be able to report something (with sources) because starstreak has 10 degrees but ultimately you’re limited to how the missile pod is mounted.
but for refernece:
- Vikhr is 5 degree
- khrizanthema, ataka is 9 degree
- zt3 is 5 degree
- Kornet is 10 degree (on drone)
- Starstreak is 10 degree
Wildcat firing at a ground (sea) target while hovering, which it cannot do ingame, these are from the same video
you can just launch straight and dip down
That could work, I’ll have a think about what the options are
If you want to fire a follow up shot, then you will have to manually move your helicopter to fire every shot, which is extremely impractical
Someone needs to figure out the type of buttons on his suit so they can figure out the dimensions of that brick :p
The LMM features three distinct warheads. I wonder if this could be implemented in‑game.
then your report would be about fire control system not this missile in particular. Idk why you latched on right now not when it was added years ago.
Note this will buff every single other vehicle (which is mostly russian helis) so have fun!
I don’t see your point, the Wildcat and Martlet are both brand new to the game? As you also showed the Martlet, which is an evolution of the Starstreak, has a completely different launch window for seemingly no reason. It seems they just ported over the 5 degree value from the Vikhr as that is the most similar missile ingame to the Martlet, despite is being from a completely different nation.
Also, I couldn’t care less if they implement the change onto Russian helis, as you’ve already shown the KA50 for example is barely impacted by the Vikhrs current launch window at all due to the pylons being able to move.

I believe gaijin are aware of this, as well as the potential for an IR seeker, but they want to implement the production variant of the missile

Ultimately it might aswell be SALH Martlet, you don’t know
The point is to show its absolutely a real problem with beamriders that has to be solved. The missile needs to be steered down either way
So, Hypothetically, if the CA-27 got Firestreaks, do you think its BR would increase?

I feel it’s time for them to push this forward.

Or even just getting 6x AGM-88C if nothing else. Though should have gotten AARGM this update
But yeah.
Tornado GR1
Harrier GR7 (maybe also T10)
Typhoon.
Should have gotten ALARM this update

They aren’t going to give the Tornado GR‑1 the ALARM anymore. However, we can still push for it on the Harrier GR7 and Typhoon FGR4, as well as the AGM‑45 for the Harrier GR3. I think they will reject the proposal to implement the theoretical maximum 6‑AGM‑88C load‑out for the Typhoon on the grounds that it would make the aircraft too overpowered.

AS.37s for the SHar are an option too.
Given that the F-18E/F has 6x AARGM-ER. I dont see how 6x AGM-88C could be considered OP, when the devs themselves admitted AGM-88C was too weak for the BR compared to the KH-31
