“it does not have an ability to multitrack like pantsir”
Actually it does with the radar → E/O track target upload that’s in the video above.
In the video it shows multiple targets on the radar screen all numbered and the officer sending the target data to the E/O operator to get visual confirmation.
That is Search Radar TWS. Not tracker TWS.
The search radar can indeed preform TWS (10 targets US, 20 CAN). However it does not have an tracking radar constantly scanning the sky. Therfore it does not have a pantsir like system. When TWS is introduced to search radars, it should gain acces to squares like that. But as of now, no.
Afaik the centroid auto tracked of adats can track one thing at a time.
Maybe ADATS is in luck.
Gaijin just teased new SAMs, one of which seems to the a IRIS-T SLS vehicle. The vehicle in particular seems to be a swedish variant which uses the BvS10 platform and mounts the Giraffe 1X radar. This radar seems to have tracking abilities while the vehicle itself lacks a dedicated tracking radar/optics I think, so it may get TWS functionality. Perhaps ADATS (and any others who are missing it) will get TWS too.
Technically this isn’t really new anyway. airborne radars perform TWS anyway in search mode, they can only also go into STT is the difference.
Thats what they should do.
But watch them just give it no gunner sight and force you to 3rd person with the IR missile lock circle.
I will cry. One of the nice things with IRIS-Ts is the LOAL using datalink, so it better be implemented and TWS is the only way here. Else weather is going to grief this thing’s lock range pretty hard potentially (looking at how ADATS’ IRST fails to lock on a lot of the time).
You realize the adats console setup and the information it provides is almost identical to what the pantsir console and the information it provides right?
Yes. The difference is tracker mechanic and in game implementation. Pantsir track radar preforms search pattern itself, stripe by stripe. That way it searches for and tracks, iirc 8 targets at once.
And that is implemented in game. ADATS E/O does not have a feature like that. Only search radar of ADATS does.
Therfore it does not have a feature like that, and untill TWS for search radar is implemented, ADATS won’t get the boxes.
I suppose we will get something like the SLAMRAAM or the 9X on the Humvee??
How would that cope with the IRIS-T SAM?
It wouldn’t have a radar, would it? So it would use the good ol’ Eye Mk1
We’ll just have to wait and see. Some form of ground launched AMRAAM was in a past (reputable) leaklist before, but so was a ground launched IRIS-T “for US apparently”. Likely that IRIS-T thing may just have been a temporary internal test thing.
I am not even sure if the SLAMRAAM humvee works standalone at all. Though I guess it’s war thunder, but manually aiming that launcher seems a bit odd. Idk if it can even aim up or down, or if it only can get into the launch and stow position. I imagine it will get a radar though, in one way or another. Would suck a lot if not.
Probably we will just get a mechanic to launch the Fox 3s Hot but that means the jets should get that too. It would make sense.
Well they are developing multi system sams and announced their addition to several nations this next major.
The IRIS-T SLS (which is basically what they showed in the teaser community update) has a max range of 12km and the Chinese SPAA they showed has a max range of 17km. I would not get my hopes up for NATO getting anything good.
Here’s just hoping for G6-HVM. Or if Britain is getting something towed it’s probably going to be… Certainly not at top tier that’s for sure. Maybe there’s a slight chance for towed Rapier but that would be 9.3 at best.
While the SLAMRAAM is fun I would prefer this due to it sporting both a search and track radar and Barak 1s which sport a 12km range and have absurd maneuverability.
Would also be a great addition to both the US and Israeli tree at the same time so both nations get a good SAM system.
I can’t see the US getting this. It is an Israeli AD system. Although you have made me do some research into it where I seen the US dumped 250mil into helping it’s development. (Won’t comment on that) I still don’t think it would be a fit for the US personally.
The only component not US made is the Barak missiles strapped to the back, the platform itself is the Centurion C-RAM which is a standard US system.
Its as much of a US vehicle as the SLAAMRAAM which is a US vee with NASASMs strapped to it, which are Norwegian developed surface launched AMRAAMs and the closest it got to being adopted was by a foreign buyer.
Both systems are more or less equally foreign made.
No the SLAMRAAM was a joint venture between Norway and the US. The Marines actually tested the SLAMRAAM with 120As I believe and made successful hits at 15kms. The US pulled out of the program in the early 2000s because the US didn’t see a need to spend money on something like that with the conflict it was partaking in.
I would say the SLAMRAAM fits more into the US tree than the ADAMS.
Yes, I said that, with the vehicle frame being US made and the missiles being Norwegian made.
The HSVD/ADAMS is, once again, a US made vehicle frame, and gun system with a Israeli made missile bolted to it.
The US pulled out because, at the time, we had no interest in SHORAD systems.
Both can fit fine IMO, the SLAMRAAM however has little reason to be in the Israeli tree, thus, if gaijin wants to be lazy like they normally are, the HSVD/ADAMS can go into both trees with little to no effort and also allows gaijin to keep holding off on adding active radar guided missiles to SPAAG as the Barak 1 is CLOS.
