The problem with these missiles is that you can launch it on helipad and you dont even have to lock on and guiding it one by one, so you can literally toss all of them out within 2 minutes then rearm in the time normally you would fire 3 hellfire missiles and you not not vulnerable to sam

[@ycebotz]

yeah and out of 8 launched, 5 explode randomly because they lost lock, 3 hit and you get 1 kill.

[@arleysebas742]

The Spikes are not reliable, out of 16 launched, there are 3 hits, one critical and the rest explode in mid-air because they lose their target or change target to a destroyed tank

[@isr4el187]

Except you can do that repeatedly, with no risk, and crits can easily turn into kills for your team@@ycebotz

[@Simon-tr9hv]

@@arleysebas742 well, the point isnt to get a kill mostly, if you can fire out 16 missiles in 2 minutes and hit 3 to 5 enemies and disable them, its good enough, cos most missile hit will either kill their breech or engines, plus if you want to be sure, you could launch 2 missiles on 8 targets just to be sure, not to mention you arent vulnerable to sam since you dont need to guide it and stay locked on

You need to know the Spike ER is a placeholder missile Israel is actually using different missiles for the Ah-60 is actually using Spike ER2 or Spike NLOS im not sure exactly, while SpikeER2 sounds like a good plan to give some fairness and defense power to take out stuff like the pantsir the ER2 has 15km range and the NLOS around 25-30km.

[@gaiofattos2]

That would be not fair to SPAAs, while Pantsir can engage spikes mid-air. Every other system will be rekt by the Spike ER2.

Hey Justin I have had problems with locking as well and not on just spikes but also with every lock on missile like the ir aa ones, spikes, and tv agms and this didn’t happen before the update I think they broke lock on fire and forget missiles somehow

[@xeon5334]

if they will make spikes aim at the center of the tank, its gonna be the best missile

[@brandonbao7097]

Honestly spike missiles are IMO the best missiles for helicopters besides possibly the Vikhrs. Helicopters in general are just extremely vulnerable so any missile that minimizes your exposure to combat are good IMO. Vkihrs are versatile but to me it's their speed that really makes them good. Unfortunately the AKD10 for Z-10 has got to be by far the worst AGM for any helicopters, it is just comically slow and still requires constant guidance.

[@dswngz]

There was a low count of JP players because there is a lot of situational/mediocre stuff on the way to Type-90, Type-10 and TKX. And now ppl are taking a shortcut.

[@skibum1610]

It would be nice if they had a mechanic where you can laser guide it or F&F. Would fix it just hitting random parts on the tank and you can pin point the impact location

[@SetouchiQueens]

not sure if the spikes had that functionality irl, but neat idea regardless

[@SilverDawnbreak]

I think this heli can be one of the best currently in the game~ Spikes for heli/AA and Hell fires for the tanks and 16 in total and a chin mounted for fixed wings. While Spikes are quite unrelyable when it comes to damage for armor ;-; The main reason this is going to be so strong are for strong and safe options. Other helis only get 4 spikes 4 hell fires or no spikes for AA and can only rely on hell fires thus will never be a safe option. Could this be power creep? 100%

[@trexgamer1132]

I would say the best method would be using Spike-ER for SEAD and using the Hellfire for Anti-Tank.

[@trexgamer1132]

Made comment halfway through video lol.

[@Soysauce_Soaked_Saltine]

I normally launch 2 spikes per target since they suck so bad. Also, if i target a tank that i know has APS, I'll dump 4 or 6 at that tank. It's wastful, but i try to make the spawn worth it.
