Stratos Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 A warhead that saw heavy use in Afghanistan and Chechnya, specially against bunkers and caves. Will we see it once the napalm/fuel air bombs effects are implemented?? 6 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 There might be some damage model and practical warhead modelling to do but past that, if it was utilised on the real thing, then yeah +1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Hope they add this content soon. According to here the only known differences between the Shturm and the Ataka are the warhead and booster having more nozzles so it’s more efficient and gets more power out of its 1kg of fuel that last literally .05 seconds https://thesovietarmourblog.blogspot.com/2021/07/soviet-atgms.html?m=1. It stipulated that the range advantage of the ATAKa comes from the longer telescoping warhead of the tandem HEAT Ataka giving it less drag and better aerodynamics. The thermobaric warhead is shamed more like the Shturm Heat warhead and would have more drag. So it’s interesting to see how it will be modeled.
