    Hey Justin, the difference between the G-Lynx and the Lynx is that the G-Lynx has a better engine which was added so it could break the helicopter speed record. The 'G' is the UK's Civil Aviation Code as the aircraft was civilly registered with Leonardo (Formerly AgustaWestland) but technically it could use the same armament as the Military Lynx.
  • @roadhigher
    The Chally Mk.2 has certianly grown on me recently especially with how common premium Leopard's and T-72's are. The Turret armour is decent enough, the forward mobility is ok, but the great firepower, reverse speed and especially the 10.0 BR compared to the 10.3 most of its contemporaries sit at really make it a dream to play. Worth a revisit imho.
  • @reinyfrost3753
    Look at the Mangusta (10.0 Italian helicopter). 8x Hellfires (like the G-LYNX), chin-mounted gun, and 4x Mistrals (not ATAS) for slightly worse maneuverability and top speed.
  • G Lynx and Swedish mi28a are the biggest sleepers in the balance department. I've seen these 2 wipe out 10.0 teams single handedly.
  • @kentohamaoka4063
    I still use the GLYNX in my 11.7 lineup and still get a ton of kills with it. At 10.0 might be a bit abusive, but britain is the underdog in most of the rest of areas so whatever. Also, the correct way to use the locking system is to lock 2 times so it lets you track the vehicle while also change the impact point so you can aim for ammo racks or center mass, specially necessary to 1 hit most of russian tanks. in this way I can get 8 kills out of 8 missiles most of the time.
  • @temporarygamer9286
    hey Justin just wanna say your vids have helped my mental health a lot and keep doing these good vids
  • @cPSly
    roikat + Challenger DS + G-Lynx is soooo nasty as a combo, best way to grind events xD
  • @Lunareclipse3268
    Nice to see the VFM5 get some use - After the recent BR changes I think it's a lot more usable than before (and Britain actually has a 9.3 lineup for it to go in now). Definitely worth a new video I think.
  • @Kminek246
    You know what Justing......I dare you to make a video on the starter helicoper for Sweden with 2km range missiles that goes 85m/s.
  • @zzebiasse4258
    You should legit revisit the A129CBT, cause personally I had a blast using it. I even got a 13 kills using it.
  • @BluevesPL
    The thing that makes G-LYNX not op is 2S38
  • @MoeLester69
    That's the most op heli in game just sittig 8 km from battle while being untouchable
  • @bahhumbug9452
    Hey Justin! Speaking of the VFM could you do a revisit video of it? Looks like a nice unique video and I wonder how it holds up in the current state of the game at its br.
  • @OtterMusician
    I’ve been irregularly attempting to use the tech tree one. I grinded extremely hard for it, through both of the boring 8.3 helis. I did that so I could play with a friend who purchased the G-LYNX. As soon as I made it there, he stopped playing it and switched nations lol. I’m currently stock, and the stock loadouts at 10.0 with no rocket computer are extremely underwhelming.
  • @Kaiberus
    justin thinking an ozelot can lock onto a helo from further thn 3 inches away is pretty interesting, when im in my ozelot i need to be inside of a helicopter to actually get a lock
  • @lexmen1089
    Finally, this THING has been haunting me ever since I got the C2A1 MEXAS back in 2020, but from experience it been like decades.
  • @colinkennedy1718
    The fact this can sit far enough back to be literally immune to all ground based AA is insane.
  • @lunar3034
    How are you able to control the collective while in the gunner seat? Is it a setting?
  • @MrPanzerCatYT
    I thought this was gonna be a vfm5 video since I was in the game on carpathians with you. You were going crazy and saved my ass in the 2s38 on the hill by A alot lmao
