You mean the missile, that it’s own marketing info shows it could track ships at best?

No, no they will not.

its not possible since the vehicle uses the trailer as part of its drive system, so the teailer tracks are powered to, also it turns like a wheelloader using its trailer

Funnily enough, the Kh-38mt in-game has almost twice the average speed and seeker capability (it should only be able to lock onto ships and factories) compared to what marketing brochures indicate. Its performance in game is based on nothing but Gaijin’s fantasy, not even the Russian military’s fantasy…

LETS GOOOOOO! :D

That altitude should be 6 km as far as i know.

@Stona_WT I think the biggest question here is the lock range as that plays a bigger role than actual range when it comes to IR-missiles. Is it possible to perhaps get a hint on that range already?
Additionally, this would likely be the best opportunity to into duce LOAL capabilities to the game, is this at all a possibility or not something currently considered?

Edit:
After a bit more reading it seems like there are 3 versions of the IRIS-T SLS, MK.I/MK.II/MK.III with altitude ranges of 5/6/8 km respectively, i’m not at all certain though.

isn’t it an ir missile?

I can already see Germany getting a worthless SPAA with less than 12km range lol

Uh yes, one of the most advanced in fact. It won’t give any shits about flares

Yes, but IR missiles with good IRCCM are hard to spoof with flares. Most MANPADS and IR/Optical SAMs (Type 81) in game are already effectively impossible to flare.

Its an thermal imaging missile. Means it follows the exact thermal image of the target. Also re-aquiring the target if it gets occluded by something for a few secs. You can’t really flare it.

The IRIS-T SLS will be literally impossibe to flare, unless gaijin somehow breaks something

Well, yeah, of course. Missiles with worse IRCCM already are impossible to flare (in game), that’s the point.

Eh they will somehow break it and make it go for 1 single flare

Doubt it. There are already thermal imaging missiles ingame. The PARS-3 from Tiger UHT. When you shot it at an enemy chopper he can flare all day, it will connect anyways.

Does this mean that we could also possibly get towable AA from WW2?
