ok
@Smin1080p_WT got any input?
It’s not impossible, but since this is supposedly not a air-focused update probably not
I would more likely say 30° at maximum judging from the perspective. Also it doesn’t say that what’s shown is the maximum deflection angle.
I agree, looks more like 33.3* to me, rather than 45*

Yeah looks like ±30° (60° overall).
I’m still baffled how small the gas generator/fuel portion is and how big the combustion chamber (with its integrated booster). If it would be possible to make it somehow smaller, the range would grow rather dramatically.
Also, surface launched MEADS Meteor when?

Interested to see what will be released about the upcoming Meteor MLU, so far it seems focused on ECCM and DL improvements.

Hard because the Meteor is a small amount closer to the camera, but you can see the fin span difference.
However F-35 clipped Meteor might be sad;
but yeah Full Fin is big (I don’t think your display model has the production fins they look smaller than this live missile, could be camera angle though);
It’s… beautiful.

You know I agree that meteor should be very maneuverable, it also probably uses dual plane maneuvering. However dual plane is not implemented in-game and Gaijin will probably conclude that meteor is not very maneuverable. Just look at CAMM for instance
It uses BTT (bank-to-turn) for fly out and midcourse then STT(skid-to-turn) for terminal.

No, it just means that the Meteor can do a 180° in an undefined time and still has much kinetic energy due to its long motor burn and ability to throttle.

This.
But also it has two way datalink and the launching aircrafts have MIDS, so a wing man could launch your Meteor at a target behind you. This requires a removal of launch restrictions.
Does it? My take is it just shows launch range
The title of the image is “No Escape Zone Comparison”. So I would say the areas are the range where the missile has enough kinetic energy to hit most of the expected targets with a high probability.
NEZ doesn’t mean you can fire the missile in whatever direction you want within that zone and it will be able to do a 180° turn and hit the target.
The target is in the aircraft in the middle of the shaded diagram and if you fire the missile towards the target from the edge of the diagram the target will not be able to kinematically defeat the missile using an, in this case unspecified. manoeuvre. Nothing in that diagram means “Meteor can do a 180°”
