ADATS, what Gaijin got wrong

why does it say its going from 35 to 42 the heck

they took 60 as dual plane, so they give it 42 single plane.

I don’t think we have a way to prove it is 60 single plane.
Fun fact, ADATS fins are steered pneumaticly.

wait huh, where? i can’t see anywhere that’s it’s going from 35 to 42

my question for them is why not work on the dual plane and introduce it to missiles which can use it, as we’re making our way to the modern era and missiles from now can use dual plane irl

doesn’t it say 60 lateral g’s in the brochure? wouldn’t that work?

now with that update it looses lock when you turn hard
(didn’t play usa in a long time maybe it was previously like that and did not notice)

You could before. Had EF flying so fast when they first released the missile could not keep up with the turret traverse.

How is thermal generation classified in game? Does it depend on the number of detector elements? I want to know what is considered 1st generation and 2nd generation

This chart, basically

they just buffed it today

saw after i got home, thought we were still in 2.43.0.37

Useless buff, missile still loses guidance for no reason

If you have sources that just say gen 1, 2 or 3, that would be enough I think. ASELPOD for instance apparently only has a 640x512 detector for the FLIR, but gets gen 3 in game, probably because it’s said to be 3rd gen FLIR somewhere. Litening III also only has 640x480, but gets gen 3 for similar reasons. I think the gen 3’s in this chart (1K FLIR, etc) actually get “gen 4” or “3+”, if there already is a name for it in-game, that is the 1920x1080 resolution already found on some toptier helicopters I think. Basing generation on just resolution doesn’t work anymore now, at least not since like 2-3 updates ago when they standardized things again, apparently shifting away from resolution based generations.

Also there’s also a bit of a different rule for helicopters as well, where if it’s gen 1 in reality, it gets bumped up to gen 2 at least. Whilst ground vehicles and fixed wing aircraft don’t get that treatment. It’s why the ADATS has gen 1 while early Apaches have gen 2. Maybe this willl change in the future though.

Yea, this chart is outdated, but gives you a good idea, and i have not seen any newer posted by gaijin in their TVD responses.

As of now we know only about 180 element CMT, so both ADATS have it. There is a chance that Canadian ADATS got upgraded in a later date, but we have no data.

loses guidance? never had it do that

perhaps it loses speed and it can’t turn very well or at all on long ranges, that’s why you may think it loses guidance

If shooting an aircraft going perpendicular to you it’s possible to out traverse your missiles.

yeah but that means it loses speed, not guidance, as the missile bleeds it’s speed and can still see the beam required to guide itself to the target but it can’t get there because it doesn’t have enough energy for it

but i still feel like with the rocket motor improved, it won’t make a big difference as the drag coefficient factor is too high, just like on the aim54c, which still wasn’t fixed
