    Both the Stingers and Igla's outrange the Mistrals in both all aspect, and rear aspect lockon, are the same speed, and have the same G limits, the Mistral is 3rd best for heli mounted AAMs.

    On the other hand it takes much more flares to stop the mistral hitting the target, that is why I said it is arguably the best.

    Thanks for this awesome video. Being an Aussie I am particularly interested in this beast. I’m hoping you don’t mind answering a couple of my noob questions. I’m a rank 4 tank and aircraft player but I’m new to to helicopters. 1. Does the gunner lock into targets with cannon like gunners in aircraft? 2. What single player maps can I use helis in? I enjoy ‘operation’ type aircraft maps it would be great to fly helis is similar. Thanks in advance mate.

  • @bacongaming4431

    @bacongaming4431

    4 жыл бұрын

    First answer, no, the gunner will not automatically lock onto targets, this is something you will have to do yourself. Second answer, I assume you mean custom missions? If that is the case then you can take helicopters into any ground forces map, you will just need bots of tier 6-7 to allow for the helipads to spawn. Hopefully those answers help somewhat :)

    BaconGaming can I jump in and ask some more Q please mate? I’m tossing up between this beast and the G Lynx and am hoping you can help with my decision; Q = what is the added benefit of the chin cannon on Tiger? If no AI gunner then you have to enter sight to use cannon, I don’t find it very useful. How do you use it? Can you aim using VR goggles, maybe then it would be useful. G Lynx nice and easy to use mini gun or cannon that it fixed to front. Keen to know your thoughts. Cheers

  • @bacongaming4431

    @bacongaming4431

    Well the gun on the Tiger can be used in third person view and locked onto target, when locked it will lead any target within 2-3km and all you need to do is fire, this is very useful against enemy helicopters. The Tiger also has MAW (Missile Approach Warning), this system will give you a warning when any SAM, AAM or ATGM is coming towards your helicopter. Finally the Tiger uses the Mistral air to air missiles, which are better than the Stinger missiles used by the Lynx in my opinion. Both G-LYNX and the Tiger are good, but personally i would go with the tiger due to those three reasons. Hopefully that helps :)

Can you tell me how I lock the chin turret onto targets please? Currently I have to go to gunner view then use mouse to manually aim. Surely there’s a better way yeah? Thanks in advance for you help 🤪

    Why the HAP is at 10.0 and the G-lynx is 9.7 ??? The HAP is a little bit more agile but the G-Lynx is a little bit faster, the HAP has also a 30 mm cannon but he hasn’t got Hellfire (Hot 3 are slower and have a range of 4.3 km against 8 for the Hellfire) and both helicopters have the same amount of AAM and ATGM !
