EldE 98: Missile Trolley

i think the main question is :

in game will the radar targetting data be enough for the missile to be fired, or will a solid IR lock still be necessary ?

I hope at minimum it’s radar slaved, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense. but otherwise yeah, the biggest question is if it will have LOAL or not.

All aspect range of for the while 12km

What brochure is that?

Oh, that. Well, they you are mistaken

IF that is what they mean

Thats air launched stats

Yes, and what is the website about?

Its still the same missle. The iris-t still can lock on over that range.
If you mean it shiuld have more locknon range then the 12km. Well wouldnt make much difference for the ground launched one at least

Yes, but IF that is what they mean, as it migh be a fancy way of saying it can lock anything within the envelope after flying in IOG for a while, then it would mean 25km.

If that is how they want the sentence to be read then i would personally also read it as 25km lock on range. which would in-game make quite a bit of difference if you can launch at planes flying towards you before they are even within the max flight distance as the plane will be within it before the missile arrives giving you way better effective range.

Though “Compatible” doesn’t really tell us anything in the end.

True as well

would be a very roundabout way of saying that, so i doubt that is what was meant

Please. I have seen more roundabout ways of saying that a radar has 40 rpm than this one.

xD please do share if you can find it

but yeah you have a point but in this case it says that it has an acquisition range compatible with its full kinematic range, to me that just reads it can see far

I will, but it was something in lines of “providing fast update rate allowing for precise target location” blah blah blah, ending at 1.5s target update rate, so 40 rpm,

Do you mean 0.667 Hz?

I dont think Hz can be used in this scenario

i mean saying rpm is more normal but its not that roundabout compared to what you are suggesting,

at least in my opinion
