It should have 74° of elevation but gaijin says no

did the report get denied? or are they just not implementing it
It’s in a purgatory. Passed, and nothing else.
The curse of gaijin
I swear ive seen like 100 reports at this point just for american top tier vehicles that has been accepted but just sit in purgatory for years before they do anything about it
At this point whats it matter how good your sources/report is if gaijin is just gonna accept it then forget about it

Not sure if this is it, but I think Gaijin is adding 3rd person cueing for IRST to all who have it, this includes ADATS.
Sadly no TWS on the radar, or elevation fixes, but this should help a ton already.

i wonder if it will change anything on locking munnitions
with the new radar screen you can lock targets only by radar now, like the others spaa

you also can lock targets from 3rd person now too like other AAs
Does it actually stay locked?
I havent tested it yet for this but previously if i tried to lock the 38MT i think the missile is just moving too fast or something for it?
It would lock it for a second and then lose it
yes!
They did some kind of bs with the proxy and it doesn’t work 75% of the time

apparently the radar mode lock also lead the missile correctly, no need to manually guide it, anyone tested this?
No. Still goes to where the target is at the moment and not where it’s going to be.
No, only for guns (badly)

Done some testing in custom battles now
Its definitely more reliable now for shooting down kh38 but the IRST still loses lock at random and now the biggest issue is the poor radar search angles (anything above 18 degrees just cant be intercepted)
Interestingly if i manually lock the missile rather than using the third person lock its impossible to lock them

Can confirm its way easier to shoot down jets and missiles
