Smokes are neat thing. But even if you could lock on missile with radar your missile wont lock it
While it is in game, its implementation is very poor

Thales made the miracle happen : same source contradicting each other :
You’re right, it’s 15 indeed, not 16 (not that it matters much tbh, it’s still a fair increment over 12)
Like the NOMADS (also a .50 hehehe)
Sorry, last time I do this joke.
I agree, but people simplifying it down to ‘hurr-durr IIR equals no miss’ is just not even close to reality
And as i said to you that day, the brochure is just old and they were yet to share the 15km.
I cast, new brochure

If it gets similar missile lock modes as strela or type 81c then it will be unflarable (but surroundings might screw missile then)
the .50 is nice, but the open crew layout is definetly worse compared to the EldE
yup, well that’s most likely the right explanation
Either way and to stick back to topic, if we jump from 15 km to 20 km in between ITO or Crotale and MICA VL, that means the french tree doesn’t need a IRIS-T. Germany should get one though, they made the system after all
Lovely to see. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
@Smin1080p_WT Currently thrust-vectoring missiles have some issues when launched at low or zero speed, especially from aircrafts. Can we confirm that thrust-vectoring is getting a rework in order to have more viability at ground speed which this SPAA would bring?

You know, I dont want to dissapoint you, but it will take a while.
Huh? Can you elaborate?
Yeah, but it has a little bit more protection for the missiles, also smaller target.
damn it i forgot to precise i was mentionning the gap between crotale / ITO and MICA VL, my bad
I need some sleep X)

the missle protection seems irrelevant, and open toped does make it very weak to splash dmg
whats the mobility like?
elde has 70mk/h and around 28 hp/t
so slightly faster top speed but “only” 23.6 hp/t
Yeah, a thin layer of metal could or couldn´t help against spall, and crew is more exposed, but it is smaller, and more agile, that is a lot in how top tier is played.
advantages and disadvantages xD
