Missiles being classified by generations seems kinda dumb to me, it should be by their characteristics or seeker type, “generation” to me is arbitrary. But oh well, that’s the way marketing goes.

I think so to but I hope they cook for another week before releasing it beause there are still so many issues.
Normally of the time its the next Tuesday after the dev closes
But I mean R-73 is a gen 4 missile, so is FB-10. However FB-10 has IIR seeker vs base R-73’s two element IR seeker. So I wouldn’t give too much to just missile generations.

i dont.
i just go by the marketing because thats all i got in terms of sources that are specific to the part itself and not “just” a study talking about the general technology and its benefits/ limitations.
r73 is a 3rd gen missile iirc
talking about gens is stupid. wether for missiles or aircraft…
This report should also affect the SLM lock range if passed:

It’s still wild to me how Gaijin is mostly ignoring the fact that the IRIS-T can’t properly intercept missiles and bombs, as it’s literally stated on the Bundeswehr site that it’s able to intercept short-range ballistic missiles and other kinds of guidet weaponry.
Heres the link to the site Ausrüstung und Technik: Das Luftverteidigungssystem IRIS-T SLM

this is stated sometimes and is also included in early marketing material by diehl but it is unlikely to be a reliable thing.
No tests were conducted for these types of threats. if ““stuff”” hits the fan you could probably try but i wouldnt bet on it.
Isn’t this for the air-to-air version of the missile, not the one on the SAM’s?
for the SLS that is the exact same missile as the air-to-air variant.
