Alvis Stormer HVM & Starstreak Missile v1.1

---

The British Starstreak SAM and the Alvis Stormer HVM launcher.

 

Starstreak is a British short range surface-to-air missile manufactured by Thales Air Defence Limited (originally Shorts Missile Systems), in Belfast. It is also known as Starstreak HVM where HVM stands for "High Velocity Missile". After launch the missile accelerates to approximately Mach 3.5, at which point it launches three laser beam riding submunitions. The use of three submunitions increases the likelihood of a successful hit on the target. Starstreak has been in service with the British Army since 1997.

Now in version V1.1 with some small corrections:

+ The optronics turret does not "crash" into the missile turret anymore.

+ The visual detection range has been somewhat bettered.

+ The thrust curve of the missile has been tweaked to improve the Pk.

+ The seeker FOV has been enlarged to ensure more frequent engagements in high angular velocity conditions.

I have always found that the Allied SAMs suck rocks.

 

The ADATs is fairly good, and I hope this lethal mutha works well. It sure looks and sounds ripper!

I would say no, it's not working. Maybe the year, but I flew Red Air in a MIG-29, and I think IR missiles for ground units are borked, i.e. just don't work. I mean I flew around a few times, but the coding is for the tail shot only, and not just all-aspect. Either that, and give it a radar system because I get pegged at by Tors, Tanguskas, SA-3s, etc.

I've updated the missile and the vehicle -it now detects you earlier and lock faster onto targets- (thanks Capun for the great advice!!!) and got shot down thrice in WoE and twice in WoI. Actually, in WoE I didn't know what hit me... I was trying to bust those darned Marder Rolands that where tracking me when I heard "Sam la... BOOM" :yes:

 

Try and test it again, and tell me if it is finally working.
