Well, IRL the missile corrects itself based on the laser generated matrix in order to stay in the middle of the beam. In game it does not work the best.

I think that in reality the missile should have an IR tracker that is visible only to the SAM operator in the thermal imaging channel.

Nope, that is not the case in the ADATS. The system uses the same principle in gathering phase, where burning missile motor it tracked by IR camera, and a smaller coded laser beam directs it onto the main beam, after the missile enter the main beam it reads the projected matrix and collects itself, no IR tracker takes part in that.

Hmm, I see, another reason why the gameplay execution of SAM Gaijins is wrong.
So if its tracked by IR surely the missile will still be hot enough at the rear to be seen in IR even if not by the naked eye. So surely the missile should be visible in game in thermal imaging but harder to see by eye?

Who knows. I am yet to come across (or i dont remember one) a video where the missile would be seen after launch from gunner screen, so i cant confirm it. What i can say for sure is that the leftover heat is not strong enough for the system to guide it.
I’d imagine it’s gotta still be hotter than the background so should be somewhat visible in thermals, even from a gameplay pov it doesn’t really work guiding and invisible missile currently, it needs some tweaking to make it more user friendly imo.
I’m going to work around the missile tomorrow.

So they removed tracer which is great but also not knowing where missile is (from adats prespective) is actually more of a nerf than buff.
I played some matches with adats after this neat missile buff which made me to actually kill moving targets from ~7km away but i had to make manual prediction corrections based on this tracer. So no 7km shots now i guess bruh
Here is my attempt
[DEV] ADATS missile should automatically lead

It will be cool if something happens with it. But after seeing Gaijin’s one disclosure about the beam riding vhikrs I think they are already aware of this.
I have news, let me know if it works, could send screenshots but can’t send the whole PDF for a reason
The drive is closed
Check now
works, nice. I will see what i can do.
Asked about this pic if the thickness of the plates at the spaced armor test is 10cm each, we’ll see what I can gather

I will receive additional information probably in a week or so too, but we’ll see.
Everything sent here is with the confirmation of Dr. Moritz Vischer, unfortunately, as you’ve read, the only one still associated with the system

Nice.
FLIR, Penetration and explosive type/mass reports are in the making.
The last one will be a nerf tho

Amazing to hear, I hope they fix the FLIR, being understandable because most of the information is classified as it’s unable to be declassified
