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 ^^

Speaking about the SLS the Mach 2 matches now also the Swedish source
I just noticed on the latest DEV update, the IIR seeker is now always on so no need for the warmup, you can now fire them with shorter time in- between :)
A funny side effect of this is that you can now turn off your radar, start driving to make the launcher tilt down, then aim by steering and adjusting speed to make the launcher tilt up/down. once you get a lock you stop quickly you can then fire the missile once the launcher is fully up again without ever having the radar on lol.

be honest, the raise of the radar scope is more effective than the radar off method
well, yes, still funny though. :P
SLS seems to have 2500km/h top speed, which is roughly Mach2 (sea level). However, the air launched variant is supposed to go around Mach 3. I don’t really understand the difference, its the same missile, isn’t it? Do they calculate it from a jet going 1000km/h? But sources dont mention this.
SLM has roughly 3700 km/h, which would be Mach 3.1 at sea level.
The still in development SLX will most likely have up to 4900 km/h top, around Mach 4. There is ofc no source yet, but these are logical assumptions from miltec communities. The missile is supposed to hit targets up to 80km away.
That missle will be bigger in size, what i saw
It doesn’t remotely hit the g limit on the start card, in testing I’ve had it hit at best 20. Which is y’know, kinda useless.

On steroids. R27 to R27ER kinda thing.
it went from an bigger fox-3 missile to an wannabe Ballistic missile xD
From what I have seen none of the new SPAA hits it except CS/SA5 which frankly IDK cause it isn’t in game yet.
Actual ARH ballistic missile. Apparently a version of this is Suface to air capable as well.
Spoiler
If someone wants to try and test if the fin AOA reaches 38 degrees give a message.
