I’m used to it by this point, i don’t take it personally as i fully understand it isn’t actually directed at me :)
Cool ^^ There are many neat little tricks that google has built in that many don’t know about, it helps A LOT when searching for oddly specific PC issues and things like that as well.
I’m glad i helped ^^
Sure that does make it more tricky as you need to watch for launches with the old mk.1 eyeball. But GR4 doesn’t detect Pantsir over its RWR beyond the search radar, launch and track are K band and out of coverage. And the TERMA pod MAWS isn’t picking up the launch from 15-20km away.
There is a huge difference in situation awareness between cockpit view and 3d person view.
In 95% of situations you don’t see the missile and you spend defending against missile which you don’t know where is or even if its there…
Well, I think we’re forgetting the fact that we’re not trying to get something to beat the Pantsir, we want something to counter the Rafales, F-15s, F-18s, EF2000s, and of course, the Su-30 and Su-34. All those videos prove that the Pantsir, while being the best AA in the game, is still really vulnerable. So all the AAs that perform worse than it are ineffective, to say the least.
The main selling point of this update for many people was all the new AA systems, which were supposed to bring some balance to CAS at top tier, but here we are, still wondering if they’ll even be as good as the Pantsir, an AA we already had, and that clearly wasn’t enough.
No it can’t.
20km is the range at which it can just about hit a hovering target, and no it can’t hit Mach 3… Mach 3 in V-Launch is incredibly fast, and is only possible with dedicated G2A missiles.
It very much can, the delta V in game already allows for such speeds (maybe a little less if it has to turn hard)
Main issue is its drag, which is also responsible for the missile lacking about 30km of range when air launched from up high and fast
As it’s an older missile, it doesn’t burn as long as an IRIS-T SLM, therefore it can’t go as far. the NG variant will tackle that issue by filling the space gained by the use of smaller electronics with additional propellant
