When did I say Pantsir should guarantee a kill? Effective range means it can hit stuff with confidence at that range
Despite you know. Already having a Leopard 2A5 for a few months now before I gave up on ground entirely. As I said before, I have an interest in SLM because I have reached top tier Germany GF
Also when did I say it is fine currently exactly?
I know this is literally rocket science so it’s ok to make mistakes, but the confidence with which some people were talking about things they don’t know made me post this response.
Some people were comparing the specific impulse(Isp) of certain engines(at first not even realizing it was specific impulse that they were comparing) wondering if it is possible for a solid rocket to have an Isp of 400sec, and presenting as justification that it doesn’t use APCP fuel but a different type of fuel with litium mixed in.
First, APCP means Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant, as such any proppelant that includes ammonium perchlorate and something else is considered an APCP.
Second, some studies were linked but no one seems to have read them. These studies examined standard fuels with an addition of lithium anywhere from 0.5% to 3% with the purpose of reducing the formation of HCl and agglomerates(small spheres of alluminium). In these studies it is stated that the perforamnce increase was just 7s of Isp.
Third, high performance solid rockets with HTPB(which is also what some sources say the iris-t uses) have an Isp of about 280s, maybe the best of the best have 300s. Suggesting that the addition of 3% lithium increases the Isp by 33% and results in an Isp that eclipses any non-hydrogen rocket engine and is even getting close to some hydrogen rocket engines is just irresponsible. Also i don’t think gaijin uses actual Isp numbers they just tweak them until the missile has the documented performance.
Finally, are there any reliable sources about the weight of the slm?
Does “hitting stuff with confidence” not mean it “guarantees a kill”?
I can dodge a Pantsir from any range if I am dedicated to watching him launch his missile and dodging correctly at the right time. Does that mean you can no longer hit with confidence from 5km? Does that mean the Pantsir’s effective range is less than 5km? No.
All I have to go on is that you have that you have several premiums bought to grind out Russia and almost the entire tree unlocked with them being by far the nation you have played the most games in. You then have 1 premium German tank with many matches played which tells me you ground out Russia, either finished it or got bored, and then decided to grind out Germany after spending all that time in Russia. I am sorry I was incorrect about the time period in which you started playing Germany.
Right here.
Most players who only play Russia defend the Pantsir by arguing how it’s not really that effective and that seemed to be exactly what you were doing. I am sorry if I misjudged your intentions but I still believe the Pantsir is currently more effective than the new spaa’s and while it may be easier to dodge at it’s further ranges, it is still effective in that you must actively do more maneuvering than just change direction.
I am not trying to take up this thread with our arguing so I am sorry if I offended you. I am passionate about what I want to see improved in the game and you and I are just going to disagree on a few topics and that is fine.
SLM kinda struggled with intercepting KH-38MTs in the lastest dev server. Reason? “No system can intercept 100% of munitions” as stated by Bug Reporting Manager. But don’t worry if same 6 Kh-38MTs were fired at Pantsir there would be no issues intercepting all of them :)
> looks at IRIS-T SLM track record
uhhuh…
Hey everyone, let’s keep our focus strictly on the SLM Please avoid bringing up the R-27ER or any other missile it only derails the conversation. What we need now is actionable input that helps us unlock the SLM’s true performance. If you have data, ideas, or design adjustments that can enhance its capabilities bring them in. Let’s cut the arguments and concentrate on solutions. Every contribution should push us closer to making the SLM work the way it’s meant to no more no less :)
i did some testing with new statShark and add more trust to SLM vs the Gaijin SLM and the result is what i expected missile to be
Gaijin SLM: has 18800 booster for 5 second and sustainer 5405 for 10
Ask Gaijin, they are pushing that narrative.
In so many ranges they act as a deterrent to awful pilots and nothing more.
@LibrA
You never know who will you get, that’s true.
That’s why I’m doing what’s the best for myself until they add SBMM.
So all clips I’ve watched are staged as it’s seemingly impossible to constantly dodge missiles under 10km, got it.
That video was also used as a “proof” of how hard it is to play EFT, meanwhile the guy was constantly launching Brimstones under 10km of range while dodging Pantsirs by simply turning.
well since this forum posted on reddit(by someone) we started to see some cas mains coming here
Because it is to high at super sonic speeds
Grid fins behave quite different at supersonic speeds compared to transonic speeds
You can see that the grid fins induce way less drag at higher speeds
And if you want to keep arguing go there:
Do we have any credible sources for the thrust?
Sorry but all those clips you mentioned either click baits or recorded by players who has no idea how to use Pantsir effectively.
I’ve watched so many noobs misses one of the easiest kill in Pantsir, especially when they are using auto mode instead of manually guiding.
So yea i cant take your claim seriously in this case.
"Sadly, no i just took the 200kn+ clam from Diehl Defence IRIS-T SLM Propulsion Data (Page 7, “Flight Performance Envelope} total impulse and add it” there is Diehl Altitude/Speed Tables im try to check it out and see what i can do
apology i think the link is not working but if my memory doesn’t fail me i was able to take look like 9 months ago idk what really happened here
I also remember to find more information about the Iris-T in general back then, but i think they just deleted/locked a lot of it due to the current situation in the east :/
oh wow i think so maybe because Germany send more slm to Ukraine the public information that are described its performance were shut down and only marketing one stayed not looking good over here but we still have hope the time to hit on dron more then 30km way and 12km altitude is about 1 minute so the misile should actually reach mach 3 in its 15 seconds flight time and then hold its speed into the 20km mark :)
ironically, Hensoldt seems kinda open about the radar which are usually shrouded in a lot secrecy (atleast aircraft radar)
Ofc they behave differently
Did you even consider of AoA=/=0
Handwaving everything that doesn’t suit my narrative by using skill issue argument.
Sorry but I think it’s best to disagree on this one.
