Meaning that the laser can go up to 90 degrees but you can only launch up to 85 degrees
Yeh thats fine, once launched even at 70° it doesn’t matter as long as the missile corrects itself overhead on the way to a target in orbit at 90°, currently the US adats this isn’t possible unless in 3rd person. The only way the missile will be able to be optical guided to that elevation is if the sights are able to rotate to 90°.
They could easily fix it.
At 60 degree sights, if you fire the bushmaster, it will shoot at 59 degrees.
At 90 degree sights, the bushmaster still fires at 59 degrees, fire a missile and it exits at 85 degrees but tracks to the laser at 90 degrees

Do you even know what this is used for?
That is only the US one, Candain one uses a different Flir, sadly I got no specifics on it.
Missile Tracker: IR missile localizer on
CCD camera for passive TV tracking
Found this pertaining to another sam. I assume it means tracking other missiles and able to intercept them
No.
It is used to track IR flare of the missile the system launches, so the system knows where it is.
Do you have any idea how stupid does it sound: we have a system that can spot, recognize and track missiles, but only if they are IR guided.

Not really actually, thermal imaging can see incoming IR lights emitted from Seeker so they would be able to be tracked. I mean it would only work with any IR missiles in line of the camera system. The radar should be able to pick them up anyway because it’s pulse dopplar. I should actually make a bug report saying that IR missiles should illuminate on thermals
Just as a reminder ir missiles use a passive guidance their seeker dont “emmit ir lights”, they do have an ir signature because they are hotter than the background but thats not different with any other munition.
Guys. I can’t
A warhead is the section of a device that contains the explosive agent or toxic (biological, chemical, or nuclear) material that is delivered by a missile, rocket, torpedo, or bomb.

I want to correct this but this whole thread hurt my brain too much for me to want to even try

Tank destroyers that carry spikes and the Chinese Qn506 can lock ground targets. Its a mechanic already in WT.

Going back to the topic, I really hope the ADATS does get updated to reflect these changes. Though some mechanics need to be completely reworked or changed in order for this to happen.
But I have some questions.
Radar can track up to 10 targets at once (like pantsir) Uses TADS/PNVS system
Radar should work in all weather conditions at maximum range
So I just want to clarify. The ADATS search radar is supposed to be a search/track radar? If not, does this mean that the ADATS’s IRST, can lock through clouds?
I’ve always assumed that the ADATS search radar was soley used for spoting targets and it’s IRST was used for tracking. Is that assumption now wrong with the facts you presented?
Laser should be able to be toggled so Adats can shoot over terrain and reacquire laser (like helicopters)
Does this mean that the MIM-146 has IOG? What is the practical use case for this and how will this look like in game?
The main features that I want to be implemented is the having the ability to track multiple targets, slewing to the radar, and having the ability to search/track through adverse weather conditions.
As of right now, it is practically impossible to intercept agms which is the biggest threat right now in top tier.

The search radar has an ability to do TWS for 10 targets.
And brochure says the system can be used in adverse weather, so most likely could be used through clouds.

Gotcha. I’m curious how this will be implemented. Would TWS change the scope of the radar. So instead of a 360 degree search it would be a 45 degree (where the radar wouldn’t move too much) as it would give you constant updates?
No. It would rotate like normal, but the update would be once a second.
I do not know anything about ADATS having sector scan.

The best way to imagine it would be. The radar will be unchanged, but the corner only squares will appear on up to 10 targets
So if something pinged on 210, when you would look there, a square would appear where it was, and it would be updated every second.

I think I read somewhere it is 20. Also, do you know if the ADATS uses the X-TAR 25 search radar? Couldn’t find anything about it, but they are very similar.

I base my data on 1990s data, so it might be slightly outdated.
I will be honest with you, i failed to find any info about the name of the radar. It does look simmilar, let me take a look.
Ok, it also uses dual beam (For anyone wondering, the radar splits the search beam vertically into 2, they are active at the same time, and it helps radar determine at what elevation the target it, so if a target can be seen only in the top beam, it is in the absolute top, as the target goes lower the lower beam starts to detect it, when it is in the same strength in both beams it means it is exactly in the middle, and as the target starts going down, return from the top beam gets weaker), but ADATS radar is know to be 25, so considering technlogy and design it might be a radar from the same family.
Another thing connecting the 2 can be the fact, that MMEV (ATADS evolution) would be using X-TAR3D, so a nice coincidence.
X-TAR3D
