    In real life, almost all vehicles equipped with that launcher had a remote targeting sight and 50-100m of cord. You were supposed to leave the vehicle in a deep defilade or open courtyard behind buildings while you hid in foliage or a building. If done right, it was also possible to park it down side streets since the missile could make 90° turns.

      The swingfire is a verhicle I like a lot because it's the type that does one thing, but does that one thing *really* well. It can sit behind literally any hill and engage enemies between ~100m and 4km, and does so very effectively.
      The independently loaded tubes is an incredibly nice feature, and the sight being so far up as well as the ammo pool being quite big is very convenient and user friendly.
      If you haven't read up on the Swingfire missile IRL you absoluytely should, it's even more insane than in the game in rea llife with almost 90 degree turns right after launch due to how incredibly manouverable it was.
      If it had its true capabilities in-game it could engage things right up in front of you quite quickly too instead of firing in the super large arch like every other regular missile type.

    This does highlight a few things I've been saying about ATGMs, even before the ATGM agility change, they were ultimately always more an area denial weapon than something like a cannon at the same BR. Especially for higher BR ones. I could take out the VAB Mephisto, and risk facing APS/IRCM that literally nullifies it entirely, or I could take out an AMX-10RC or an AMX-30 with LRF/Thermals/APFSDS.

    The swingfire used to be a lot worse, idk when they fixed it but it couldn't kill shit missiles with half the TNT equivalent could oneshot.

    • @babalonkie
      @babalonkie Год назад +13

      Swingfire on release had the missile follow the middle of the sight regardless of where the crosshair was... meaning it was not effected by depression. That was changed two years ago. It did however benefit from the improved overpressure system, being the actual warhead is a HEAT/HESH Hybrid.
      The recent patch has done nothing to the Swingfire other than introduce a visible cable, the other ATGMS were simply given realistic effects (the missile loses altitude just before the engine ignites), Making them less OP. But the Swingfire was not effected because it's very design was to overcome these problems in real life (It shoots upwards to negate any drop of the missile and to make it easier to hit the top of a tank).
      Swingfire missile was released in the early 60's and was not replaced until the 00's by Javelin, Even the later Striker is older than the M901 ITV.
      Since it was released, i have always had a Swingfire in my lineup, even at top tier. I do however take the striker as well since that was released. It's extremely satisfying taking out T-90's with a 60 year old missile. Just need to find cover and be slightly elevated, aim for the top of the enemy tank and no armour stops it.

    • @commandoepsilon4664
      @commandoepsilon4664 Год назад +8

      Well, they said they updated missiles flight model to be more realistic, so it makes sense an ATGM that can make a 90 degree pivot out of the launch tub would be more maneuverable than others (as some one else noted they use thrust vectoring.) Personally I find it funny that when they made that change basically all ATGMs got way harder to control except the swingfire, which actually got a lot better (you can now hit targets within 50m where as before it was more like a 150m to 200m minimum) almost like Gaijin just admitted they were giving British ATMGs worse flight models just because.
      I can't really say anything about the damage, from my experience it is still all over the place.

    • @babalonkie
      @babalonkie Год назад +8

      @@commandoepsilon4664 If you look at the history of the Swingfire... you actually start to really appreciate it.
      Swingfire was way ahead of it's time. The sighting mechanism can actually be detached from the vehicle and used by infantry on foot. Allowing the vehicle to fire whilst 0 parts are exposed.
      It was also the inspiration behind the Javelin.
      From the start of the TOW missiles life, America insisted that Britain ditched the Swingfire and purchase TOW missiles stating that the lighter and smaller TOW was better. TOW was infact inferior to Swingfire in absolutely everyway and as the TOW evolved, it just copied the Swingfire, eventually becoming just as big as the Swingfire completely negating Americas points. TOW always required a line of sight from the launcher, whilst the Swingfire never did (It could be manually controlled or controlled via an detached/Attached optical device). This bothered America so much that they said they would restrict access to other products... UK still said no and then partnered with Sweden, Germany and Italy on various projects. This forced USA to make the Javelin... and only then did UK say ok.
      After Javelin was designed, TOW was upgraded to Radio-Controlled rather than guide by wire, in a attempt to keep TOW relevant on the battlefield.

The APDS should be doing more damage than it is, the Chieftains round which is slightly heavier and also slower seems to have a much girthier damage profile which the Conqueror should be getting too with its more brittle sabot material, resulting in post penetration shattering which really should be deadly to crew inside a vehicle.

    Hello Spookston!
    I love your videos and you really helped me getting better at WT.
    I wanted to ask you If you could try the T-34 1942!
    Thank you :D

    Honestly I i feel like the swingfire got significantly easier to use after the ATGM changes,
    Since the missile requires significant direction change after launched, it used to not be able to defend against close targets. But after the changes, the engagement range of the missiles got significantly more responsive and easier to close fire

    I would like to recommend the T-26E1-1, it’s a really strong tank when you have a good team, only problem is that the teams aren’t always good.

    Fun fact, the sight control thing has been patched out for all vehicles that have only atgms. It still works for vehicles that have normal munitions though.

  • @SemoventeDa
    @SemoventeDa Год назад +28

    Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this.

    Swingfire also used to have "feature" when re-munitioning was faster than reloading, so if you managed to stay at cap you got increased fire rate. You could quite go "artillery mode" this way }:3

    Here is a funny challange for Spookston and Oddbawz:
    Player 1: takes the wiesel 1A4
    Player 2: goes in the 15cm sIG 33 B Sfl
    Gameplay: Player 1 scouts, and tells the distance with its laser range finder to Player 2, and Player 2 can snipe.👍
    Note: the Wiesel 1A4 now has gen 3 thermals for some reason 💀💀.

    I've only used the swedish missile carriers but out of those 3 I really like the pbv 302. The two first were just a hassle and not fun to play but the top attack of the Pbv 302 makes it very fun imo. It kinda feels busted slinging a rocket over cover and killing the tank behind it but also so satisfying.

  • @rammen4
    @rammen4 Год назад +2

    This thing actually got a huge shadow buff. The missles used to shoot out the launcher into the sky before coming down, this made close range impossible. They removed this in last update

  • @juh2445
    @juh2445 Год назад +5

    Was wondering if you could play the Shturm S. It has proxy fused missiles for anti air, fairly good controllable missiles and gen 2 thermals at 8.3.

  • @DullJellyfish
    @DullJellyfish Год назад +2

    Hey Spookston, have you considered playing a whole line-up instead of one vehicle? Like, playing Britain 7.3 instead of just the Swingfire. That way you have more options depending on the map. Could add more variety

  • @jackmino729
    @jackmino729 Год назад +2

    The only thing that should be cresting a hill is your little periscope, which allows you to guide missiles without having to expose any of the vehicle, this should make it one of the best ATGM carriers in the game, and its successor, the Striker CVR(T) combines that with being based on the fastest production tank ever made.
    Unfortunately gaijin has a habit of modelling British vehicles, badly to say the least. You just have to look at the performance of the Chieftain's shell for an example

    Worth keeping in mind that this is a typical example of an esoteric British vehicle that cant be properly modelled / used properly in a video game like warthunder.
    IRL, the Gunner sight can be detached and moved up to 100 metres from the vehicle, so you could park this thing behind a hill (or even sideways in an alleyway) and fire missiles over it at incoming soviet tanks.

  • @roberttauzer7042
    @roberttauzer7042 Год назад +1

    I've been leveling this fker for weeks now. It's actually not a bad vehicle and it has certain very handy advantages (like shooting from behind the cover) but it's very limited and map dependent.
    I would say the worse flaw is minimal range. Sometimes you can mitigate it to some degree by aiming way under.

  • @maximilianmustermann1278
    @maximilianmustermann1278 Год назад +1
