IRIS-T SLM and Multi-Vehicle SAM Systems!

Of course

I just want the ability and experience of multi-vehicle SAMs, because Russia has them IRL.

I think we just differ on our philosophies about what should be added and when… I care about both capabilities and mechanics, while you seem to primarily care about capabilities.

So i already got smoked by an EFT in SLM, you will definitely need shorter range spaa as well.
And i think there’s some sort of logic errors, the SLM launches in DL without IR even if the target is very close, or the seeker has a min range, idk. But they should implement proper DL+IR

They should obviously receive them but for now you’ll have to wait because as i’ve mentioned before, Gaijin for some strange reasons doesn’t implement some stuff at the same time even if it makes perfect sense and nobody would complain about it
Even for stuff that’s pretty much copy paste, take a look at the F-18 Finland is getting this update, that could have been added alongside the previous one since they are the same plane but with ground ordinance but for some reason it took a separate major update

I care about mechanics but i don’t put them on the same importance as capabilities/effectiveness, they come after it
For example, I would rather have a 40km single vehicle SPAA over a 20km Multi-vehicle SPAA

I think we’re actually just in perfect agreement and this was a misunderstanding haha

So, the IRIS-T seems to actually be unable to intercept munitions, this sucks big time.

Everythings is still being worked on when it comes to dev server, it will probably get fixed in a bit (hopefully)

Good question. When would be the earliest point after launch the nose cone can be jettisoned? Directly after leaving the tube? After the first course correction? After the motor is burned out? Would be nice to have an answer…

just wait your turn. there are still other nations that dont have any proper top tier spaa.

40km range is “meh”. I was testing it with a friend and the missile barely has energy to keep up with a jet past 12km. I could easily avoid it after the booster stage shuts off.

It’s too slow right now. Should be Mach 3 but tops out at Mach 2.5, that’s why.

Fairness? Fairness would be taking away the KH38MTs considering its a fake missile anyway lol Russia is the most Bias and handheld nation in the game 😂😂

Truly another update where britain might get nothing (or nerfed) when updates come out… MMEV Or Supacat for the love of god theres already the Spyder and Iris-T SLM
The supacat is not that different another big truck i beg gaijin acknowledge how bad the adats is help a british enjoyer out maaaaan

True, I’ve been watching videos of people playing the IRIS-T SLM and it’s being dunked on by Kh-38MT and FABs. Maybe the real issued lied in the fact that this missile should’ve never made it to the game. No SAM is safe from it…

Agreed its fake and needs removed

Well you can’t use your superior range. The KH-38 jet still airspawns in strike range and spacebar’s a volley before your SAM gets him. The maps are small, your two busses are like locked in a small cage. Your position is predictable and easy to spot with thermal target optics.

You’d need access to the whole map. So you could drive away and look for a nice, safe place. These small maps are like death traps. We don’t even talk about ground units shoting your radar dish or shot into the spawn area 2 mins after game start. WT maps are too small for vehicles like this. Especially when they have alot nogo zones on top of the size issue.

This was a problem as well, from the same Youtube video, his radar dish (and even launch trucks) was being shot at the moment it went up, and you can be overpressured by HE so good luck not being spotted by a Russian MBT with HE. This thing will not survive long enough to make much of a dent on balance.

Tiny maps, flat maps, city maps, this thing is doomed in 9 out of 10 maps, Gaijin did not think this through at all. We have 40km and 80km range SAMs, they have no business being trapped in the tiny maps we have.

Heck give us an airfield spawn so we can play as airfield AA and harass CAS from far away or shoot down airfield campers, that would be a great start.

Thats my point lol remove the fake missile 😂

they might be the CAS mains leaving, it’s not uncommon to see people rush to get a point in a M22 or BT-5 then just leave if they fail to get enough points to spawn a plane (or not spawn at all on that 2 point lay out where you need to take the enemy point).

That’s right, but I mean also the prem tank gamers and other one with the right BR tanks
