Yes you can scan the sky with google. But I say it again, it waste 80% of the intrest of this system. Besause it design to perform with full batery, not only the fire unit.
Of course it a game, every thing is possible. But be sure I really like the Crotale, but integrated in game to be playable it will not be really a Crotale anymore.
And thank you for sharing photos of the beast on tarmak and smooth plane grass.
Title feels off. Maybe if the Ito was in french service or if the chassis was french it would make sense but it feels weird maybe its just me lol.
Sorry i have not traveled back in time and convinced one of the person taking pictures to take one on rough terrain. I cant influence where the picutres were taken. I showed you that clearence can be adjusted.
While ITO is not in service, Crotale NG is
but mostly towed
I get that bit specifically calling the ITO feels weird. The only connection it has it that its on the french tree because the turret is french. The testing was not done in france when the turret was placed on the chassis. I just feel the title wouldve made more sense if it just mentioned the Crotale lol
The title makes sense, as ITO weaponry is Crotale NG system. I guess op wanted to reference system we have in game.
Just would’ve made more sense to say the crotale and not a finnish chassis imo
Taking into account that the ItO 90M uses the Crotale system, the title makes sense, since the Finnish vehicle was later derived from this system, don’t get your head too hot thinking about it.
I was simply atatung that i personally think the title mentioning the ITO doesnt really fit when it could’ve mentioned the Crotale which is what the post is talking about.
The only difference is that the other vehicle has more power in the antenna, more range, etc. and that it could designate several targets at the same time, the launching vehicle alone can only follow one target but control up to 2 missiles at a time, that is, the same thing that the other anti-aircraft missiles do in the game.
Standard Crotale was not made with any towing in mind, so that wont work here.
so i take it that only the chinese one was capable of this?
Yes, only Chinese reverse engineered one did that. Original Crotale had them as separate vehicles.
true
The ONLY difference : list of MANY differenceS
We can add an little other difference the surveillance radar constantly rotate at 360° on AZIMUT axis to survey .
While the tracking radar have a limited rotation on SITE to track already aimed target. Of course the touret with missiles can rotate 360° on azimut axis but it’s not made to do it constanly, just to aim or to be in stow position.
Only one vehicle : maybe it can works. But you lose 80% of the capacity of this system. IMHO
Your statement that it loses 80% of its usefulness is very exaggerated just because the radar of the shooting vehicle cannot rotate 360°, and I’ll give you an example of why you are exaggerated, in the game you have the Chaparral that doesn’t even It has a radar and even so it is in BR 10.3, the suggested vehicle does have a radar with a range of 17 km and although the radar cannot rotate on its own the turret can rotate 360° so it still So you could see in all directions with the radar, perhaps in real life it would lose capabilities when operating on its own but in the game (which is what we are in the forum for) it would work like any other anti-aircraft. and I already knew that video and nowhere does it mention that the firing system cannot work on its own, the same video mentions that the firing system can track a target and fire 2 missiles at the same time, so I don’t know what it is what you are claiming.
I doubt that Gaijin will introduce tracking radar search mode, so you will have to manually lock it.
Aren’t all anti-aircraft radars blocked manually?
Some of the radars have search radar cue. That means when the target is spotted, all you have to do is click lock. turret is then slew to it and it is locked by tracking radar.
I can record it for you if you want.
