My read of that isn’t a confirmation of tracking of a moving target. It is a confirmation that the IIR scene matching can correct for poor or jammed GPS even with minimum terrain features that would aid in correction.

More keybinds
I would honestly take more keybinds if it meant having an advantage
New Rafale skin coming to the game?

It sounds more like the “Semi-stationary” targets we had earlier when talking about Scalp/Taurus/Stormshadow
Interesting, maybe new E-Sports event ? Idk
Technically speaking, that doesnt actually prove it can hit a moving target. The source doesnt actually specify if the target data was pre-loaded into the AASM moments before launch or if it was pre-loaded on the ground for example.
All this proves is that it can hit a target that is 80m displaced from where it was supposed to be. Not that it can hit it while its moving. Its not actually providing us any new info barring how far the target can be displaced from its originally estimated coordinates.
Edit: seems a bunch of other peeps beat me to saying that.
Given Storm Shadow is a Anglo-Frnech cruise missile, its entirely possible that AASM use the same seeker as found in the Storm Shadow, or at least maybe a derivative of it (though different manufacturer)
Scalp and Stormshadow all werent for semi stationary
that was only taurus capability
Wait, there is a pack like this?
newly released earlier today
oh
Not sure if this has been pointed out by others, but this actually proves that the 20km seeker range in WT is incorrect.
If they had to test if the missile can find the target or not (once it gets within seeker range), through image correlation, this means the seeker isn’t tracking the target before or after launch, at 16km.
The seeker range is probably no more than 8km, if not less.
Thats the reason for the whole debate.
We have sources that state the Seeker of the IR missle only activated 1.5km from the target point.
So the whole missle is massively wrongly implemented
Has it been reported?
yes.
As of right now would propably act like a worse penguin missle
If those newer results wont even turn it worse,
Since its likely not meaned for moving targets at all, but for stationary targets and adjusts for gps mistakes and or jamming
Care to share a link?
