IRIS-T SLM 4km Missile Seeker Change

One thing every 6 months so we can add another broken and meta defining weapon and vehicle :P

Well, if the IRIS-T was brought to some reasonable state, Russia would have to get something better to counter it ;p

Anybody ever got teamkill when using IRIS-T?? When the missile already in “wondering” state it sometimes turn on it IR seeker to closest plane then track it with the last energy and kill anything close to it. This is the amnesia state that I mention.

I was think something like another BMD with computer to calculate the impact position but sure, that will work too

There are people reporting this to shut down the debate about the iris-t nerf. Great day

Yeah, but actually making liwhatever behave in a semi realistic way would take effort.

It has to be intentional. There is precisely zero chance this crap would pass the most basic test cases if it wasn’t intended to be like this. Where I work, this would never have passed the pull request as it wouldn’t pass the unit tests or meet the requirements.

The gaijin loop is :

  • Release ridiculously overpowered or broken system

  • Ignore the outcry for months or years. <— you are here.

  • actually fix the issue, or change a mechanic to counter it.

  • being the cycle again an update or two later.

No it tracks the plane in its search cone, how would it know what plane is closest to it

Dunno, it just random event lol. So far I only manage to kill 2 teammate with IRIS-T SLM. Suddenly I saw my missile who failed to hit enemy just wondering in circle then suddenly I saw it got IR TRK. Since I uncheck “Friendly” in sorts I just realized the missile tracking teammate. The 2nd time it hit hovering A129D. For your information the missile already so slow and even I can’t sait it moving at all in radar. I dunno if teammate goin into that missile direction or just gayjined.

To give more light into a situation above.

If the missile activates its seeker, the DL is forever gone, if it misses, it will try to turn in IOG onto the last known target path, while turning its seeker on and looking for anything, if it finds that anything, it will go for it.

I love how predictable this company has gotten over the years. Its actually quite comedy that we know how they work when it comes to these issues lol.

Did any of the devs respond regarding this nerf?

Nope

Its straight up buff, now from ranges 10km - 4km your seeker when detect flare wont engage IRCCM, so for ranges above 4km it will track normally, and then when its close enough that you cant really do anything in a plane then it engages this and it track a lot better. Since the update I got more hits in SLS, than before the patch. Before patch some KA-52’s MAW was just spamming flares and missile got confused, now it somehow tracks, same with planes etc. So I think its a buff

Is this an bait attempt or am i missing something?
