Seriously, why not put 105mm wide stinger missiles in these things and have 6 rounds of "fuck you" to planes? Further, the longer and more rigid barrel than the tubes used to fire MANPADs ought to mean a quicker breach of the sound barrier and thus less susceptibility to trans-sonic fuckups or things like wind having a disproportionate affect due to initial low speeds of rocket systems.

WTF is RR?

Also why would you put man-portables on a vehicle instead of a bigger better system? Stingers are shit for AA, modifying it with longer tubes (kek) wouldn't do anything significant.

Whats needed is large caliber SPAAG
Take an abrams, modify the turret to allow it to elevate 90 degrees
Add AESA radar

but ballistic AA is fucking shit in age of supersonic and hypersonic targets
>>
>>29548758
Then what about quad flamethrowers?
>>
>>29549003

flamethrowers are even worse against quick air targets.
>>
>>29547996
because ontos is meant to suppress the shit out off infantry and tanks, you should take stingers and separate them out into different sites so it isn't one target to destroy
>>
>>29547996

Because if you missed all 6 shots against a mach 2+ target, you're fucked.

Most targets are not super or hypersonic
And ballistic AA could still hit fast targets

Recoil-less rifle (I guess)
>>
>>29549240
Maybe it would be used to blow the shit out of a fleet of helicopters coming in to drop troops or provide fire support

or maybe you have no idea what you're actually talking about and are making shit up as you go along
go to bed, kid

Tube length does not effect velocity in tube-launched rockets the way it does with bullets, for one thing.

Next, and more importantly, do you expect that an armored vehicle is more or less visible than several infantry to hostile aircraft? Think of all the places, particularly in an urban setting, where a few guys with Stingers could set up shop. In a vehicle hulk, or the balcony of that nice hotel, maybe in that parking complex? Let's say that the helo pilot hunting them kills one or two. Does he know how many are left? Or where they are?
