Been trying to look for it but can’t find it, the proposed Type 87 AW or another SPAAG with missiles on it? I swear I remember seeing it but it never was adopted. Similar to Gepard 1A2?
These two?

I believe so. I don’t recognise the image (i saw a different one) but its the same concept, thank you!

That thing looking like something from one of the what if the Cold War never ended sci-fi shows where the nations of the Earth kept pumping money into insane projects that would have been canned in the late 90s. But they never worked as intended.

forward RWR is wack
theres 3 version we could see in the research tree tbf, those two & the malaysian hawk 208
That could be very interesting, and is probably the most fitting range of variants for the techtree armament-wise since they’re all very distinct.
- ID Hawk 53 with no radar and no missiles, only dumb bombs/rockets and the gunpod
- ID Hawk 109 with nose FLIR and otherwise similar armament to Hawk 209, maybe with AIM-9P-5 to make the techtree one more unique.
- MY Hawk 208 with radar, AIM-9L and AGM-84
That would even leave the Hawk 108 for an event vehicle in the future without taking away from the tree.

Can anyone else think of what an “IR K CONDENSER LENS RETICLE” could be, besides referring to part of a Köhler integration lens? I’m not aware of any other optical condenser system which starts with a K.
If I am right about this, it would have, very interesting implications for how the IRCCM on the AAM-3 should work (waiter waiter more AAM-3 buffs please!) Basically it would mean that the seeker would be a fair bit more efficient then other conical scan systems due to (complicated optic reasons i can explain if anyone wants). While also improving CEP, and making operation of the multiplexer for the dual band system a lot better, allowing for situational tracking of targets through flares, as opposed to just turning off like it does rn in game.
