YAH-64 vs AH-64A Peten

[Geyser_Soze 412]

What’s the major difference between these two that puts them 0.3 BR apart?

Are these differences significant in ground RB, and significant enough to build a 10.3 lineup around?

It lacks the abilities to carry air to air missiles with hellfires for self defense, flares as well so essentially it loses most of the apaches defensive abilities except the gun

Thanks.

With the posts on how stingers are not very good, and how I get blapped from the sky with Vikrs, the stingers seems less of a problem. Flares are useful though.

YAH doesn't have useless stingers and useless flares while having a BR that lets it not see 2S6 spam sometimes. 

American 10.3 is extremely strong, the only really good thing you lose by moving from 10.7 to 10.3 is ADATS. So yes if you want a chance of bullying 9.3 tanks with hellfires you should get yourself a 10.3 lineup. It will prove especially useful during sale when the sheer amount of TURMS players in the queue will make every other game a downtier, and there is no better time to fly a heli as premium players don't have any anti-air options.

I don't have yet the proto apache yet though, so it is just a prediction based on playing other helis.

Yeah but the one thing the AH-64A has over the D and the YAH-64 is the ability to carry aim9L which are much more effective than stingers

eh flares are still handy here n there when I was in my mi24 I had periodic flares on when I got in range of an enemy ir guided anti air and it worked, but yes they arn't that useful

Flares are extremely important and this is a serious issue rn in game. I am dying to missiles right above the helipad. Also I posted reference that the yah64 did in fact have flares.
