It seems they modeled it as a tank with uncontrollable trailer, instead of a 2 part vehicle with all 4 tracks powered and center pivot steering.
Also irl the steering cylinders are plenty powerful enough to steer without moving.
So in short, it’s just a lazily made pos.
The “trailer” part is impossible to drive with though. It forces the nose of the vehicle into the ground, it seems they’ve basically made it unusable. The issue also appears to be impacting the Churchill Crocodile’s trailer to a lesser extent, when there was no fault previous.
This thing was a terrible addition, but it would be nice to be able to use the terrible addition even vaguely. At present, it cannot be driven by those of us playing from Australia from my brief testing.
Yeah i meant how it is irl.
The model ingame is not even close to how it should be.
Yeah, the issues with the model are present. But I’m speaking from an actual using it in game case. It cannot be used as it is impossible to drive anywhere with it.
I can drive it though.
Yeah, I’m sure if you’re not faced with 300ms+ it would be usable, there is a reason I wrote what I did. But as it stands, if they do not fix it, those of us who don’t have servers in the local region will quite plausibly not be able to use it. Even assuming the lower latency to the US.
There was a recent update to the DEV server (i just started it and had to download som things), there is no announcement yet but i got curious and tested the EldE 98. It feels way better to drive now (i have no idea if anything actually got changed though), there are still some things that might need fixing from what i can tell. I hope it’s also better for you :)
It is so much worse.
It only broke spectacularly on Berlin, now it is breaking on just about every map I test it on. I would bug report it, but they’ll probably just tell me I shouldn’t be playing from Australia and that they don’t give a damn.
Lol, that’s actually a little bit funny, for me it handles so much better and the back doesn’t bounce around uncontrollably every other turn. It fells “smoother” if that makes sense.
Sad that it’s still bad for those with high ping :(
Out of curiosity, can you show me what the vehicle outline in the bottom left shows when you’re using it? I’ve yet to confirm it’s a connection issue (I am 99%) or a Linux client issue having dodgy interpretation of the colliders.
Also the missile still fails to connect with an aircraft closer than 6km. It really needs to be removed and replaced with the RBS 23. It cannot engage closing in targets, cannot destroy air to ground munitions, and cannot reliably target aircraft because of how you have to manipulate the radar and by the time you’ve done that, the aircraft is within the no engagement range or has already dropped weapons you can’t destroy. Nor can it engage targets at any longer ranges.
Example:
This is when it showed up on radar. Far too close for the missiles to engage, and this is the earliest it showed on radar. It really is substandard. Not to mention the highest pull the missile achieves fired against any target so far is 17g.
Radar should be fixed soon tm. I think SLM got the report about targeting munitions made, but SLS would need a separate one.
Yay, the radar will be able to show me the planes I can’t engage because of a 17g overload. Joy.
Report on the issue of using it from Australia, don’t really think they’ll care.

Incredibly lazy report on intercepting munitions.

Feel free to do it better, but it is 0600 and I want to take a nap.
I’m having none of the issues you describe. I took a short clip from a testdrive i just did to show of both the missies and trying to make the trailer bug out. (VOLUME WARNING!) https://youtu.be/PtJDIbQH0VA
Edit: What version of the DEV are you on?
Up to date with dev.
Great, so it is a network issue and it’s really further evidence that we need servers in our region, lovely. Or at least more care put into the fact that they sell the product in regions they do not provide servers for. At least that is what I am seeing from the recording.
RIP SLS
1000m/s → 710m/s
60G → 50G
Max Speed makes a bit of sense though, Mach 3 max is when it’s air launched, i highly doubt it can reach Mach 3 when it’s ground launched.
The max G i don’t actually know enough to say anything about :P
Tell me, how do you want to launch an Ground Launched missile in air
Edit: nvm, mixed the thread
It’s the exact same missile, it’s just a software update to the guidance logic. You can literally take the missile from a JAS39C, plug a laptop into it and update it and then put it in the EldE 98 and fire it without any issues :)
Haha, easily done ^^
