launch missiles when operating the launchers, not the radar unit
The IR missiles still lack in range tho. While the radar missiles can easily launch against a target 8 kms way, the IR ones can’t. Tho Gaijin said they will implement some limited LOAL capabilites for some of the SAMs, it’s not yet done it seems.
Oh damn, somehow I replied to someone else. xd Sorry about that.
Maybe you can also report the issues about the radar itself? The radar is too bad to use, it just lost track oftenly, the radar on the type 87 spaa is way more better than it 😅
Unless there’s primary source or actually reliable/noteworthy secondary sources stating something about it, then I’ll just be hit with a “Provide sources pls”
The TWS struggles a bit because it rotates so slowly, among a few more things. What pains me the most is the ass vertical coverage of only 20 degrees. I could get past that if I was able to tilt the radar dish, but I can’t, not at the moment at least.
Just hoping my report about the tilt angle of the radar actually does something to help with that. Comparing it to every other radar that’s added it has a mind bogglingly bad search elevation angle. Here’s hoping.
Yeah, several of the new AA systems have radars that cover more than 70 degrees vertically, even the SLAMRAAM radar has about 50 degrees coverage, and it’s tilted as well.
i mainly play sim, so it’s very useful to me. But i can see what you mean if you play air rb (which most of the playerbase does). But i also think it would be nice if the F-1 got it, since it was made as a “support fighter” aka attacker, and it was mainly designed for the anti-ship and CAS role.
yeah in training ground it probably fine, but in matchmaking? beside spawn point that rarely have cover? putting them not close together is nigh impossible. putting one launcher at a time is probably the most realistic here, and not on the radar vehicle when it’s the most important is kinda foolish.
i just wish you can carry 2 separate launcher with each only ARH or IR, because right now if one of your launcher have ARH and the other have IR loaded, it will be impossible to get a lock and launch
