“The IRIS-T right now is exactly what they told me it would be and if it stays like this I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing it added to air battles At this point, it’s basically just a better R-73” the only difference is the 0.25 fov irccm+shut of seeker
“and Ukraine Engagement (Oct 2023) IRIS-T SLM intercepted a Shahed drone at 17 km range while still accelerating matching” what i said and not what game performance is

Well to be honest, the current IRIS-T will be a good fox2 in the air battle. But when compared with the AIM9X in the dev server, it is still weaker(9x has 60G overload).While in the reality, IRIST should perform better as its strake wing enables it to achieve better aerodynamic performance.(just to argue that IRIST should be better)
sadly you cant access the information behind your link, just returns the janes site

That link leads to nowhere. So we cantt use it.
Besides that gsjin doesnt realy accept jane as a source either way. So ko we still have nothing

To my knowledge that has always been the case?

Yes, but he declined material that did fall under that rule. Cause he didnt look at it

yeah thats sad my link is not working but at least there is proof this isnt the slm performance
Until u have provided the content of that link there is no prove
Are you sure? which one are you talking about?
The Swedish source is technically an industry magazine and so a secondary source.

if you live in perfect world this link would give us good information and help us find out is it real or not but guess we will never know
aim9x literally does not work on dev server
and the stats are just a copy of initial IRST

That’s true. Maybe I should wait for further update.Apologize for that.

even without me pointing out that148kn total for SLM at 155kg Weight is low
in War Thunder’s 18.8 kN for 5 seconds /5.4 kN for 10 seconds thrust is physically impossible to reach Mach 3

devs are already locked in their belief that SLM can’t even reach mach 2.1 lol.
as with all nato equipment, they search for the worst performance datapoint they can find regardless of source and then build from that (all other evidence is capitalist marketing lies of course)
its current effective range is roughly 10km. everything i’m seeing says >30km for effective range irl
so imo you’re exactly right in saying it’s underperforming by 3x, which is honestly the worst gimp i’ve seen from them in 11 years. amazing really

The German Bundeswehr states the IRIS-T SLM has an effective Range of 40km not just max range.
„ effektive Längenreichweite 40 Kilometer“

we need classified info then
Is anyone perhaps compiling another report about maximum speed of the SLM?
