The ASRAAM also uses this sensor until Block 6.

@Gunjob, could you tell us if this is still under consideration or off the table?

As Code said, it uses the SM-6 seeker which is derived from the AMRAAM.

I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they did that to start with.

And if loal is added in game, it wouldn’t surprise me if it is pretty unreliable. There are usually a lot of aircraft and flares flying around in air RB, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a habit of locking the wrong targets.

Yeah, a lot of TKs

especially for LOAL for ir missiles without datalink. Will be essentially useless…

It’s already annoying as hell for missiles like the r-27et given the variability that can happen after launch of the missile

TBF, LOAL on IIRs with no datalink is usually just for off-boresight shots, not really for range. Ideally we’d see gaijin actually implement proper IR lock ranges but… anyways. For offboresight capabilities specifically, LOAL in WT works fine~ish. Still vulnerable to preflaring, but it kinda works.
