Yes the orientation period is the time is flying strait up at a 90 degree angle.

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.

Even Saab states they are the same
(Guess which Missile the SLS fires, correct the Rb98)

I’ve asked because I think there is a difference in the range, when a missile is fired at 5 000 m (for example) alt, from a plane flying at Mach 0.8-1.0 and the same missile, fired from ground level (0-200 m alt), from a stationary SAM site
There is quite a big difference actually.
But the report was not about the missile range but the lock-range of the seeker whose range should be independent of launch-height and speed.

Today I freed my keyboard’s “E” and “Q” button binds. Because in two days they would become “switch target” and “launch” binds respectively.

IF the update is in two days, hopefully it is :D
Did u not have binds for those for TWS in ARB anyway? I just used the same ones.
