@@pierluigiadreani2159 My main source for now is a book by Daniele Lembo called "Le Armi Segrete della Regia" The guided torpedo or _Idrobomba A/170_ as I believe it was designated, was designed by Colonel Freri (one of the designers of the much more successful Motobomba F.F.F) and by engineer Pietro Crocco of the Genio Navale (Naval Engineering Division) Apparently this weapon idea was already tested in the Bracciano lake in 1932 and presented officially to Mussolini by correspondence on the 16th of April 1940, the way it worked was by having a pretty standard looking air-launched torpedo like the W/F.200/450 4.25 (if I'm not getting the name wrong) with a guidance system on it and a buoy thethered to the ordenace, this buoy housed the radio receiver from which the Torpedo received the guidance input from the operator like with the Fritz-X, to facilitate the use of the Torpedo the buoy also deployed a lingering, fluorescent chemical trail on the water so the operator could follow and guide the weapon to the target more easily These were tested by S.M 79s and S.M 82s, but they were ultimately meant to also equip the P.108 and P.108 Artigliere, they could also be deployed at high altitude (3+km) by a parachute that would detach at about 130/100 metres of altitude from the water to deploy the torpedo, just like the Motobomba FFF The book mentions a lof of interesting Italian weapons like the Idrobomba Slittante or the Aerosiluro Zapelloni and many others, and mentions of projects lost to time

I don't know why you didn't mention that the Losat uses kinetic penetrators in the missiles. It's a pretty big thing to gloss over, since most things it will face mostly just have protection against chemical munitions and not kinetic at br 10.3 .

LOSAT is the most interesting due to its concept - ATGM that uses kinetic energy rod penetrators. Looking at ingame stat card, it won't have penetration ie velocity drop off until after a kilometer. That can be either very broken or very pathetic at mid ranges. It'll be absolutely pathetic at extreme close ranges due to turret and missile arrangement and the fact that missile didn't accelerate fully yet. Broken because it's defacto vehicle sized "bolter" ie gyrojet ie gun with kilometer long barrel if you will. Yes, it's a missile. But it's a missile with extremely high burn engine. It can be most powerfull APFSDS in the game in fact. Pathetic at long range? Because you can't turn off the guidance. In normal canon you can just curve the shell with gravity or fire and scoot. With LOSAT, even with its insane velocity, you're a sitting duck. Sum up the three points above and you get a very niche vehicle. But very interesting from technical PoV. Imagine if LOSAT documentation was dusted off nowadays and someone tried to make ADATS(the reason in the name) competitor by combining LOSAT and Starstreak tech de facto creating massive Starstreak II.

@dierare

8 ай бұрын

if by bolter you mean a wh40k one, that would not be quite right as bolt rounds are basically APHE or SAP warheads. they detonate after penetrating their target. the missiles of the LOSAT are more like a missile version of british AP rockets. massive starstreak would probably have too much mass to be agile enough to hit planes. they'd probably also need comically large propulsion systems to keep their speed at the distances you need for AA purposes, further increasing their mass and hindering their agility.

Super stoked for the new Ki-48, definitely think the trick of it will be similar to the sk-60b where you gain altitude then kill your engines and go as slow as possible from a glide and just lob these from over 8km away. The missile speed is definitely a poor aspect of it, so long range launches will probably be needed so you don't get within AA range

"gaijin seems to have a hatred for the US" as the US just got its fifth fucking toptier plane and is back to dominating with their shiny new 12.3 F-16 since the mig29's got nerfed, too. while japan has gotten NO PLANE AT ALL for TWO patches now. sorry that the US already has the biggest aircraft tree in the entire game and doesn't get like 5 new ones every patch. or that not every single event plane is american. other countries are in wayyyy bigger need of more variety than the US getting half a dozen versions of every of their aircraft that have minimal differences in the game. besides, the plane for the last crafting event was already one for the US tree. self-centered freeaboos can't have everything, boo-hoo.

This opens the idea of adding the Okha to the G4M. But that could be done in a way where it’s like a scout drone. You launch and guide it like a normal aircraft but obviously with 1) much, much less fuel and range and 2) you intentionally crash it instead of let it loiter

I can definitely see the ATGM plane being used for Squadron Battles

Can't wait for somebody to take this plane to top tier and try kill a modern mbt with this missile

This thing looks like a himars turret strapped to a tank hull

5:50 Is it just me or is that F-100F drifting in the air

this might be real nice for naval battles

Close the distance when dealing with LOSAT the missiles take time to accelerate

The LOSAT doesn't have neutral steering- if you turn and hold W, one track will be stopped and you will continue turning. That said, it has hands down THE best clutch steering system I've seen as it basically mimics neutral steering, but if you start a turn for 20 degrees or so, and reverse it and keep reversing the turn back and forth, you'll notice you will start to wiggle backwards!

I think the best use is going to be in naval. That warhead is enough to seriously mess up destroyers. Also the best way to guide it may be to launch it, turn around, hop in gunner view, and guide it from a safe distance from AA. By the way you didn't comment on the fact that the LOSAT is a kinetic, rather than HEAT warhead. So it gains pen and velocity until the rocket booster cuts out. It means that at like ~4km you can pen the front plate of almost anything up to and including T-80Us.

I was gonna sit this one out but maybe the guided missile at that low a BR might be fun in naval. Otherwise? Nah. The LOSAT is the sort of thing that makes me happy I decided to keep to under 8.x most of the time. I reckon it will either spank or be pulverised, depending on map and BR. One of those. The missiles are a lot of fun to use in the test, I can see this thing being an MLRS thing at a higher BR. Take it out once or twice and never play it again unless you are having fun in a squad. That ship seems awful but maybe it will be better when it’s spaded. And naval doesn’t seem to have had the RP buff other modes have, at least not to the same level - naval is one of the worst for grinding, in my experience. And that’s not a ‘skill issue’. I’m happy to announce I’m pretty mid at Air and Ground RB, but, for some reason, I rule in naval. No idea why I’m good at that mode, but I regularly get top whereas it’s not unusual for me to be bottom in ground RB. I try to not lose my vehicle and that’s a good approach in naval but means I don’t get points in other modes. Anyway. The ship feels like rubbish.

Could you shoot bombers with the ki48 missile? Seems probable

It's very odd how slow the ki-148 missile is.
