Bullying things with lws :p
Buk m3 now can kill tanks now… use a allie drone and fly very low near the tank you want to kill. lock the recon then the missle slap the tank.
Award for the most useless thing goes to…
Useful for Sloptubers
Yeah, mostly useful for “funni” things.
We need a bigger map.
Is Buk-M3 still ARH? I mean… SARH would make much more sense, each launcher has it’s own track radar and people on the forum can’t seem to find an official document that it’s ARH…
Can’t wait for Gaijin to wait 2 years for Russian mains to enjoy it and then be like “ou yeah… my bad… honest mistake 😅”
Buk M3 missiles are ARH. There are no SARH missiles for buk. Stop complaining
irl they’re sarh
Eh considering this is system is so trash in game it wouldnt matter anyway.
410k Rp waste.
You can back this up for sure, right?
I will be very thankful for sharing your sources with us, so claims saying it is SARH can be disputed.
Proof? They use slanets ARH head

There is also a patent for 9Б-1103M, which includes the Slanets family of Active Radar Homing seeker heads.
The “A” in 9M317MA stands for Aktivnayav. It means that 9M317MA is the Active Radar Homing version of the missile.
Ok, but everyone already seen them, sadly, they are widely not considered reliable. Do you have anything else?
Patent does not mention Buk at all.
honestly given how its performing in game right now making it a sarh missile would buff it.
No problems with that, I support realistic vehicles in WarThunder.
Unfortunately no. There are no export manuals or anything like that for the 9M317MA missile that states whether it is ARH or SARH. Do you have proof that this missile is SARH?
I do have a brochure for the export variant
As well as the fact NIIP still gives the illumination radar, but this one can be atribued to the fact it can control M2 launchers, so i am still considering it, but as a more of a 50/50

Another thing is NIIP does not mention anything about ARH guidence in their M3 description, something they would totally do whie listing main things about it.
Yea but Russian export weapons are generally worse versions than the ones they use domestically. And the 9M317M(E) is based off the 9M317M missile, not the 9M317MA. Only the 9M317MA has a ARH seeker
Well, we do not have MA in game, do we?
Gaijin said M has ARH seeker.
