Even if by some miracle the missile is able to reach out that far, unlike the SLS the SLM is radar guided. Meaning if Gaijin changes nothing about how ARH work it will be as easy to notch and chaff as any other ARH missile in-game right now.
Edit: scratch that part about it only being ARH. Thought they outright replaced the IIR seeker with a radar one. You learn sth every day
Finally Germany can have a decent AA and you think about it being broken. Lmao
The funniest part will be the missile’s inability to hit a target within 5 km because theTVC will just make the missile spin, the missile will only be usable between 5 and 20 km.
Its Ground RB man, no one is notching and chaffing there, lol. Play the game first. All you need is the neccessary range and the Suchoi drones (players act like one 99%) will fall out of the sky en masse.
Suspect this might be more an indictment of yourself than others. Plenty of folk use chaff and notch.
Clearly not. They spawn and switch to their target pod to spot ground targets and to lob missiles. Almost no one does these thing you’re talking about. Same with heli players, they just hug in gunners view and can be lol farmed in most caes… Every GRB player knows this. Its not Air RB.
Just a reminder the Iris-T SLM has a dual head it gets close with Radar, pops the tip off and the IIR seeker takes over
A description of your own procedures definitely doesn’t apply to others, dear.
No. Why would they name it IRIS-T (!) then? You should better look into this.
I’m a wehraboo. We don’t have jets with F&F missiles like the Rus do. So I sadly can’t play GRB like this. Spacebaring tanks with IR target pods and KH-38 is fotm. I wish I could.
Unless I am mistaken it is radar guided via DL until terminal guidance where the seeker cover comes loose.
Its guided by the FCS via Datalink, however still IIR in terminal phase IRL.
You’re worried about the IRIS-T? Did you not see the Spyder AIO is also in the list.
Yes thats what i meant
Thing should hold up fine until ECM or proper ARMs. Aside the range likely being shafted by TVC.
As far as I have read IIR and data Link will not be available on these SAM systems in this patch. Can you shine some light on that?
I think we won’t come to that 40km range in the game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the system was a 15km death bubble or something like that.
true, but keep in mind if they ever fix this, we could have a potent platform, and also, the slm has a much higher max altitude than the iris-slr, making it more of a problem for aircraft much higher up
Not saying it’s bad, but until they fix tvc, it’s not remotely as flash as many folk are hoping.
thats the problem, tvc really reduces missile range, but what happens when it is fixed(eventually will be)
true but even then, it will still be the best system by far, being able to engage multiple targets at once, not requiring guidance, and its kill accuracy will be deadly, as the iris missiles are known to be very accurate
