2688kph is 746.67m/s, 9X currently has a max top speed of 780m/s. All current in-game IR SAM’s have a superior hard coded top speed compared to the new ones being added, barring the Igla, Stinger, and HN-6, all 3 of which are tiny MANPAD missiles. The Mistral is actually has a higher top speed than all new missiles being added…
Btw, does anyone have sensor view footage of the SLS pre-speedcap? The raw numbers seem to indicate the SLS likely has the thrust to push itself near or past M3.0 from a standstill, seeing as the 9X allegedly has a lower dV than it and makes it to ~M2.21, but the artificial speed cap it was given is likely whats preventing it from doing so (instead of gaijins pretend reason that its not air launched, so it just cant)
because they’ve always claimed that equipment isn’t nerfed or buffed in unrealistic ways
this allows them to hide behind the reporting process, which is where the magic (balance and bias) happens
I posted the initial page of his source being from 2008 , the missile had 60g overload before they accepted his source from 2008 and there were no comments in his claim , what do you mean
HA! They locked the bug report cuz they didn’t wanna deal with people calling out their stupid decision? xD
@Gunjob you guys have some absolute clowns handling the IRIS-T SLM situation, willingly ignoring the OEM statement on the seeker capabilities simply due to the fact it states something inconvenient to gaijins stance on their magic DIRCM forcefield for the russian helis. Too bad the other tech mods and devs dont share your standard of care for bug reports.
Ah yes, I’m aware of that , I named the post the same as his just in case and not sls , none of this makes Any sense at all since in the claim of the original dude it’s not even about the sls or Slm but the air launched one but ofc they took that as an opertunity to nerf AA, even if it “only” affected the sls
Still , tested overload isn’t the same as max and there are sources claiming more than 50 g talking of wich you could also agree then if the air launched one can. Reach Mach 3 so should the surface launched one considering how drag works at high speeds, if a missile gets to Mach 3 launched from Mach 1 the missile also wouldn’t have much issue going very close to Mach 3 launched from 0
This is where it actually differs because test parameter differs. Air Launched can mean being shot at Mach 1 at maybe 2.5km or something with only that conditions allowing it to reach Mach 3
It is physically impossible for it to reach mach 3 at 0/0 not only because of air resistance, but that missile uses up most of the energy just climbing.
SLM can possibly reach it because it has a huge booster section. Have you found primary or maybe even secondary sources that supports the claim of Mach 3? Feel free to use it
Because most of the claims I saw for it are from 3rd party websites (tbf I wasn’t looking hard enough)
and like its so funny because they gave the ground 120C-5 the same top speed lol
YOU GET 780m/s, YOU GET 780m/s, YOU ALSO GET 780m/s, but you? you get 710m/s(less than chapparal speed XdD), YOU ALSO GET 710m/s, EVERYONE GETS MACH 2.2 AT MAX
