A good idea would be to make a test where a target is 20km high and prove the missile cant reach that altitude, or try testing the horizontal range using a stationary helicopter.

We have some sources now but are still looking for more sources
So problems that need to be bug reported:
Isn’t the lower diameter and mass only for the SLS, the SLM has a much fatter rocket motor, after all.
The SLS mass and diameter are apparently even lower, even in-game:
It is bigger but not 180 mm big the regular IRIS-T is 127 mm in diameter and 2.94m in length and only 88 kg in weight so as you can see here the SLM version is just a bit bigger than it.
On a side note i really want to know from where did gaijin pull these numbers from.
There’s an article somewhere that states a 140kg weight for the SLM interceptor, i can’t find it again.
It seems to me they got the 180mm number simply from the modelled dimensions of the SLM rocket.
The motor section is about 1.4-1.5 times as wide as the guidance section, and assuming the guidance section has the same diameter as the SLS, that would get you a 178-190mm diameter motor section.
Compared to IRL images of the missile, the in-game dimensions seem fairly accurate.
Will the IRIS-T SLM truly only have a 9 - 12 KM Lock on IR missiles?? That range doesn’t really deter the CAS to just yeet off AGM from god knows how far.
@Smin1080p_WT could you may say if the SLM is allready ready for testing or still placeholder?
It has datalink so can be guided on to a target then lock on once within range. In dev I have no problem shooting down targets as soon as I see them at about 15km.
I think it would be cool to also have access to the GBMMR version of the radar truck with the CEAFAR radar with constant 360 degree radar coverage. Though admittedly that’s not the one in service with the Bundeswehr.
Though I suppose if the TRML-4D is fixed to act more like a rotating version of the Pantsir’s track radar, constantly scanning the hemisphere in front of it instead of just a thin line, you’re already most of the way there.
Hopefully they implement the “Back scan” of the TRML-4D, where it essentially gives another pass over already detected targets to update their position when the radar is facing away from it.
Finally no cas
In the Video below an effective Range of 40km and alt. of 20km is claimed.
That should mean that it can hit targets at 40km right?
