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
I just realized something
Considering the IRIS-T is completely straight up on the rail, some targets might be off boresight, so i wouldn’t be surprised if it had LOAL, at least it would be one argument in favor. I really hope it does at least.
Unless of course the iris-t has 90° off boresight, which i think it does now that i think about it (some people versed in the missile will probably be able to infirm / confirm)
i really do hope so yeah but i suppose well have to wait and find out

Axactly, also we should see (I´m pretty sure it can) if Elde can shoot 9x´s and other missiles (like the NOMADS)
But if NOMADS were added it could be for 2 nations (we still need to see what else gayjin gonna add to other nations)
technically it might be possible but ive not seen it anywhere at all, and since sweden doesnt use 9X i dont think we will ever see it
If Gaijin doesn’t rework thrust-vectoring, then I foresee IRIS-T have a lot of issues since thrust-vectoring has lots of problems at very low speeds and this thing would be launched at zero ground speeds. Also, if they use the Czechslovakian document then it would be foreseen that the missile has a lower acceleration and higher burntime (around 9 seconds) than other typical thrust-vectoring missiles which would give it more issues falling out of the sky.
