Btw were these linked yet because here they state it directly.

You’ve gotta be kidding me… What else can we provide. And even then testing the missile proves that it cannot even reach 40km against a hovering target. This does not make sense

would this work too?
the issue is, sure they mention the range
but we need the Speed of the Missile
wouldn’t it be enough to tell them that the missile is unable to get even somewhat close to 40km in the game under like already tested perfect conditions?
like what more would you need to show them after it almost stalls trying to hit a hovering plane at like 75% of it’s advertised range?

wouldn’t it be enough to mention that the offical websites of diehl and the stated links of them clearly talk about the missile being a great improvement over the sls?
the issue is it is advertised as maximum engagement range/engagement envelope not the missiles kinematic range which gives a much broader interpretation as a target flying towards you at 5-10km and mach 2+ will not require a missile with 40 km range to engage it when it is 40km away
I tried to do a bit of digging but couldn’t find anything substantial. The only thing i found was on the air launched version which sadly wont help much.
Edit:
Found this that confirms the ability to target smaller targets:

Still all sources so far state that all variants of IRIS-T missiles are mach 3 capable missiles. It would be great to have something that has effective range of at least 15-20km instead of 10-12 just like we currently have with FlaRakRad…

Sadly wont be usefull for the SLM, but tbf, I dont even know where they got the Mach 2 from to Beginn with, like we know the SLS goes Mach 3 also in game, we know the SLM has pretty much everything the same like the SLS just Bigger, also an bigger engine…
So where does the Mach 2 come from???

Did you perhaps test the capabilities of the SLS? I’m interested to see its energy comparison.
Dont have it on dev, also I dont know anyone who has it,
But from test drive, range wise it performs MUCH better because the SLS goes its 1000m/s
gepard is not missing ahead, the gepard was never ahead capable.
The gepard1a2 is missing FAPDS, not ahead

worry that we will have simiar situtation to fim-92 that are 2.2 mach capable but are only 1.96 mach rn with lower G’s
PUMA and LYNX missing proper ahead implementation
not exactly true either.
What do you define as proper implememtation?
The AHEAD shrapnel count is to low and might dissapear a tad bit to fast.
but that can be explained with server performance measures as well.
It does at least properbly programm now.
To realy use it effectively u need to use an spaa with a fast fire rate, which the puma and lynx just are not.
The chinese spaa is a better example
oh they did recently? because it was not programmable and 2s38 was far superior in taking down helicoters
for taking out rush helis it works great, 2s38 still is better cause its proper proxy of course and flies further
but the programming is fixed since quite a while
