      and they also top attack IRL, in game they just hit straight on. The spike SR (short range) will just hit the side of vehicles the LR that the vilkas or kf41 have are supposed to fly up in the air and then slam down on a vehicle from a very steep angle. Conveniently that would hurt russian tanks the most as they have a big ol' ammo carrousel right under the roof.

      @loadout3727 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      @@MyWaifuNow yeah but it doesn't even slam straight down, it is always weirdly angled, the charge generates little to no splinters which makes no sense. The core problem isn't the bad spikes tho, no it is the selection of the vehicle itself, it makes no sense to add vehicle which carries a missile that is effective on a range of 350 meters, when most battles are on much shorter distances, because of the general gameplay, maps and vehicle pool. Rather choosing a different vehicle with different weapon selection (or fixing the missile to be useful, can go away from reality like russian tanks lol ) or anything else would have been much smarter and better

    In seriousness though, ive always hated that the 20mm belt in the Marder can cause a cook off when getting hit. Defeats the entire point of the turrent being unmanned and kinda feels like a bit of bs. Idk if that would actually happen with 20mm or not but still.

    Whats worse is that they are supposed to be tandem charge missiles...yet do hardly anything unless they hit ammo.

      The BMPs 30mm spall like a 105mm apds with double the rate of fire... its insane. Yet the bushmaster weapon systems are not even comparable and are usually at higher BRs.
      The fucking 2S38 is at a lower BR than this thing.....

  • @Thebaconmurderer
    @Thebaconmurderer ปีที่แล้ว

    They work about as well as the Italian ones. Yet no one seems to complain about them. The only half decent ones are on the Freccia since it can fire straight forward and that usually never happens or you take out one crew member or the ERA eats the missile even though it’s a tandem warhead.

    @eventidessoul1963 ปีที่แล้ว

    The failed scout on the bmp is probably due to elevation and scouting. Because it was at a lower elevation, the scouting struggles with it. as compared to the ags you scouted later which was on level ground with you.
    I tend to aim just below the enemy tracks when scouting from a higher place, it usually results in a successful scout.

    I have seen them do very well and I have decided it's down to one thing - not the damage, not the missiles, not the player using it. The fact it makes absolutely zero noise. You can't hear it driving, shooting, or the sounds of the shots hitting you. Any time I have seen it, its dead but when they go unseen they are also unheard.

  • @linussyren9221
    @linussyren9221 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    From my experience Spikes only really get kills when YOU are already dead.
    I think this is because the player you shoot at doesn’t expect the missile to still be guided and turns to shoot or do something else than looking straight at your now dead body -> hitting center mass in side usually downwards angle hitting ammo.
    But when you are alive they are still looking in your direction and you will most of the time hit the barrel or breach.

    As long as you fire them from 500meters out or more the missiles seem to work reasonably well. I routinely get 2 kills with spikes per game. They're not perfect but theyre useful..

  • @Frost_x_NB
    @Frost_x_NB ปีที่แล้ว

    The visas is very good great support wheeled vehicle. Fast good for flanking. The missile has to be used on targets at least 300m away to hit accurately and since the atgm is slow if you are able to immobilize your enemy it’s going to hit well. Can’t just sling spikes expecting them to splash every time. Used in the right situation they are deadly. Also I’d carry an HE belt to deal with helicopters much easier.

    I find the Spike missiles to be pretty good, and the best part being that you can hit people who go down hills to try to avoid the hit~ Got a few good kills. Vilkas is currently my favorite high tier. : D

    The issue with all these top down attack missiles is none of them properly top attack. Rather than descending in a downward curve into the top of the turret they they are supposed to all these missiles (including the ones on the Chinese terminator tank) just dip down into direct fire a meter away and end up hitting the heaviest armor of the tank. Gaijin needs to make it so the missile autopilot aims at center mass of the turret FROM THE TOP

  • @ScareTactics1773

    As long as you dont center your gameplay around the Spikes, its a fine tank. Plays like a VBC or similar light scout IFV. Plenty of empty space so your crew just watches the APFSDS fly through. I'd just fire off Spikes at every random opportunity, if they kill its fine, if they dont its ok. At least they're pretty reliable against heli cancer so that alone makes the Vilkas an A+ tier tank in my book. Now if only the PUMA would get spikes too (and a BR increase to 11.0) ...
