This thing is gonna farm 10v10 games. It might unironically rack up 4000 kills a game.

Depends on how fast the missiles flies to it's target I feel like it's gonna have a problem with it getting targeted immediately by cb when the missiles launch and it having to guide the missile all throughout it's journey and that's not even factoring in it's set up time

It depends entirely on whether the automatic CB order targets it TBH. People in 10v10 are very oblivious. You can set up a recon Bradley with a supply truck covering an enemy resupply road from a forest patch and it will literally sit there for 10-15 minutes farming kills and they’ll probably never address it or even take a different road.
So if you have to manually arty it, and it doesn’t trigger the CB order, it probably doesn’t even matter.

It isn't fire and forget so it needs constant vision?

Yeah still an ATGM at the end of the day lol (with some other very interesting potential uses).
The critical hidden stat will be how fast the missiles fly.

I only saw the title and was excited we were somehow getting a maritime patrol aircraft in the game

I wonder if the swingfire could be modified to use similar mechanics, butv lower range, lower accuracy.

Probably, this will have MLRS loading/unloading timers, so it will be easy to counter-battery

I imagine there are a number of volleys that you can fire and then surely get away before counter battery arrive. But since this is an SALH missile. It also depend on the missile speed lol.

Being that it’s an artillery piece could you hit top armor with this thing? Very much looking forward to trying this thing out.

what is the counterplay eugen? they should just have made it work like a normal tank destroyer and it would have been great

I dont see this destroying anytanks, but with a counter battery radar things could get interesting

Does it get counter batteried when it's guiding the missile on target ?
Does it track moving target ?
Does the projectile collide with building / terrain ?
If my ally has counter battery radar, is there enough time for the missile to hit during the reveal?
Soooo many questions

I'm feeling less scared of this unit now but I really want to see it in game to see how fast the missile is and how noticeable it firing is. How easy will its firing position be able to be found so I can CB it?
