Hey Hunter, been playing the Stormer recently and have been enjoying it. Have you played the British Apache with the Starstreaks in a SEAD role? I've found them very effective against other SPAA in the Stormer, and I'm curious how much more effective they would be over Hellfires due to their speed.

[@Hunter_i86]

Hello my friend, didn't try it in SEAD role to be honest, but tried it a lot against enemy choppers, it is pretty fast for sure so it will requires fast aim to the weak spots of SPAA as well.

Does chaff affect radar lock on SPAA? Im considering running this plane with only chaff or maybe mixed since it doesnt encounter much IR guided missiles....

The Alpha Jet (both variants) and the SAAB-105G have to be my favorites for CAS. What tank lineup do you use to bring that beauty out?

[@Hunter_i86]

In this video Alpha Jet was 8.7BR, I was using 8.7BR TAM.

[@ItsMistahWolfe]

@@Hunter_i86 I figured as much, i don't think the br change to 9.0 was needed for the alpha jets. But gaijin does what gaijin does. I've been running mine with the Tam as well since the Tam is a decent platform even in up tiers. The downside to it being 9.0 now is it goes up against missile aa more often than not now. Currently my favorite combo right now is the AMX 30 B2 Brenus with the french variant of the Alpha Jet. A lot of people seem to hate the Brenus, but if you play it just right, it can be amazing.

[@sidecharacterC]

Looks effective at its current BR. Alpha jet or g/91 r3 do you like better?

[@Hunter_i86]

G.91 is old and Nords are not as effective as they used to be back in the day, I would choose the Alpha jet :)

[@sidecharacterC]

@@Hunter_i86 got the alpha jet A yesterday and its great. Even without ordinance, the gun knocks out light targets with ease. I've even killed t-55s from the lower side armor.

[@badllama8090]

Love watching your vids Hunter, but my bombing runs NEVER go like yours, i'm usually dead from a missile or guns before i get anywhere NEAR dropping bombs off....

[@Hunter_i86]

Don't rush, and also try to spawn the plane early when the field is still clear, I mean get maybe one kill with TAM and cap a zone or scout then die as fast as possible, usually at early stages of the battle there are no SPAAs yet. In the making of this video I also died maybe 4 times by SPAA while diving, and after that I promised myself to focus SPAA first and check before dive on the first target I see. I didn't like the bombs at all, so many good drops end with small hits or only tracking the targeted tank. Rockets and 27mm gun are very good though. Good Luck :)

Is there a reason why you pick the 250kg bombs instead of 500kg, or is it just a spawn point thing?

[@Hunter_i86]

There is no 500kg! these are 500lb, both 500lb and 250kg seem the same by looking at the stats but I chose the 250kg because it has bigger explosive mass which I don't really think it matters a lot, also 250kg has 2 additional meters for the fragments dispersion.
