Due to my PC being a potato at the time, I missed the heyday of the Hunter F.6, so maybe with this rework I’ll have an excuse to spade it.
God I hope its what we want/need.
Harrier GR1 and Hunter F6 just sit their starring at me (especially in SB with no DOA uptiers) and I can never be bothered to bust them out

The SRAAM rework coming and it being confirmed we’re getting CAMM-ER not just CAMM is some welcome news
CAMM-ER also seems to have 45km range, so it at least outranges the SLM
I just wish they’d give the Harrier GR.1 flares, I know it’s not exactly historical but there’s no reason it couldn’t fit the flare pod the other harriers have

Camm normal is just asraam with arh seeker right?
ASTER-30 with 100km range, which should actually even be longer range than that (120km or so)
And turnover/positioning pack
Though CAMM is limited to mach 3. Should be higher than that. So defo some reports are gunna be needed.
From what ive been told, the RADAR for the ASTER launcher is pretty terrible.
You shouldn’t be able to lock a fighter sized target above 35-45km, so the insane range is much less useful
What should it be?
ASRAAM should be greater than Mach 4.
CAMM wont have the benefit of thinner air or starting speed. But I think it would fair to assume it could be higher than Mach 3, especially CAMM-ER.
Would be tricky to prove for CAMM, but might be worth a try

70 km against aircrafts
20 km against missiles
It will still be meh because of the refresh rate on non engaged targets and multipath though
That would make sense, I couldnt work out how they can balance 120km ARH missiles vs things like IRIS-T SLE, but if the radar heavily mitigates it, then that makes sense. Especially if they do MP realistically on SAMs
Where did you see this?
Gzsabis list came out
Damn how come the UK isn’t getting the AH-64E?

I don’t know why you’re asking me
Yeah well 70 is still a lot
Unfortunately i think we are in the good old power creep spiral again (Rafale F3R shenanigans again)
CAMM ER seems a bit more reasonable, but still good.
One could argue the UK and Italy deserved it at least X)

I genuinely find it a good break that Italy finally has the meta spaa

Yeah, though munition interception only being 20km helps offset that a bit too.

70 km is only against large aircraft. It is 35-45 km against fighter / ground attack aircraft sized targets (according to two primary sources shown in the French discord).
