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.
My bind list is a total mess. I mean I’m playing from 2013…

I am really looking forward to the SLM. We will have to see how it actually plays in a full multiplayer session with the Multi-Vehicle system but today I had multiple instances where I had 3-4 helicopters and 2-3 planes up at the same time within like 6km and my poor FlaRakRad could only focus on one each getting me killed immediately.
I also hope they fix the issue with the IRIS-T SLM losing lock when firing while still in data-link reach.
