Works after todays update quite well, but still not 100%.

why have they nerfed the SLS to 50Gs?

I’ve no clue.

Because of this report: Community Bug Reporting System

Which cites some pretty poor evidence to say the least.

thats also a report for SLM and yet they change it for SLS - SLM is still at 40

ahh why do i still care

Wait wait, they nerfed the missiles based only on this? Lmaoooo

Oh, it’s our angy copeman again. Who should we call on malicious misrepresentation of sources? Or should we give him some more time, there’s a chance that because of him SLM could be buffed to 100g overload.

is it possible that one of the factor resulting in the range being quite lackluster is the absence of drag reduction when the nose cap is on ?

Off topic in that thread + he is likely part of the group that got the IRIS-T nerfed using a dubious reading of a single secondary source in the first place, since he works very closely with the bug reporter, so not really the people to be asking lol

Mm, nice, did they get anything else from that document? Because I’ve seen it, it says “50g turns have been reported” right?

No, cuz the document isnt about any actual technical aspects of the missile, its about insensitive explosives and propellant. The “50G reported” comment is literally just a fluff point that has no actual reason to be in the presentation beyond making the powerpount seem less empty. Its a secondary source at best, and considering the context of the document, it shouldnt even be admissible as a source.

Its good enough for gaijin tho since they’ve provwn their abject hatred of the IRIS-T system as a whole, with both the SLS and SLM variants being gimped to the point of irrelevance, all while gaijin categorically refuses to accept any source for their bug reports.

I guess everyone knows why Iris is handled like this. Was to expect. I followed the reports a bit and it seems they just don’t wan’t it to be close to its rl capabilities. Once this point is reached, any further reports and efforts are pointless. Similar to the Leopard 2A7.
