i dont think gaijin will add it to live when the missles just fall on the floor so i dont think thatll be an issue xD
but thanks for the funny image in my head
missile proceeds to crawl on the floor to reach its target

The developers will simply take IRIS-T - R-73 as a basis
in before they only meaned stuff like the Elde98
The IRIS-T should be able to lock munitions, when carried on a plane one of it’s big selling points is the ability to use it as an “anti missile missile” and being able to shoot down missiles chasing the plane from behind.
Yep, 90deg of boresight in LOBL and a 360deg sphere when used in LOAL (on aircraft at least).

That SLM though, isn’t that radar guided? (at least most of the way)
some 6 some 8
Yes, it flies mostly on DL, in terminal it discards its nose and uses the IR seeker.

Oh MB I thought it still shares the same seeker
It does. It travels on IOG+GNSS+DL, and in terminal it enables its seeker.

ok well hopefully they don’t forget LOAL then, would be unfortunate to just have the radar point a state of the art IR seeker at your target only for it to be unable to lock a helo sitting 4 clicks away, leading to a rather awkward situation X)
Nah they wouldn’t do that…
right ? (clueless)
Not according to the source i linked. At least the early version of SLS doesn’t have it as far as i know.
Not that it does not have it. You can see that launcher lacks DL system.
It does not have any mast or even any DL looking like system.
So even if the missile had it (tbh for 12 km not needed) the launch platform does not.

for those idiots like, what is the datalink part there cause, to me it looks like all have atennas
I know. I am following the topic :)
The big and tall masts protruding just behind the cab. They are much higher compared to normal radio antenne, allowing the to maintain communication with the missile better.
