Arma 3
AH-99 Blackfoot best loadout for Tanks?
Hi,

I have been testing with the AH-99 Blackfoot attack chopper and have noticed that the "DAGR" missiles do hardly any damage to any tanks, I hit a tank 8+ times in the editor and the only damaged was to the engine of the tank (so not really helpeful).

Toggling through the available arsenal I only have the minigun, Lazer guided, AS RAAM and the DAGR. None of which do much if any damage to tanks.

Am I missing a certain type of round, is it glitched or am I wrong thinking that the AH-99 Blackfoot is capable of taking out armor from long ranges?

Thanks.

Equip Scalpels for armored targets!

Will look into it, thank you.

DAGRs are really effective at lightly/medium armored targets. They 2-3 shot tigrises, and in my experience are more effective on the blackfoot. However Skalpels are really good for AT, like hellfires.

A.S.S RAM's are AA, DAGR's are guided rockets with a small payload, typically for anti-infantry use, the minigun is a 20mm HE, so light vehicles/ precision infantry, and "Lazer Guided"? laser guided what?

As everyone else is saying though, Scalpels ftw against armor.

On another note, does anyone know how to abuse the stealth of the blackfoot? or fix its stupidly low engine power? even a mod that improves it would be acceptable, im just sick of being incapable of pulling up.

I can totally config a mod up for you on the house if you give me a week. I'm busy these days.

I can give you as long as youd like, having a fix is better than not having one. and whenever you do get around to it, thanks. :steamhappy:

In-case your unsure of what exactly to tweak, im pretty sure its the engine thrust/torque. whichever is the one that stops me from falling a few miles after a dive. Again, thanks before-hand.

Yeah, no worries, it's a few variables in the Cfgvehicles. I can write a patch up in a few hours but I just need to find the time.
