tbf, he also used outdated in game data…
Maybe we shouldn’t have added the Kh-38 in the first place, modern GBADs are almost all shrouded by classified info, this is just dumb, why promise modern AA if they are all gonna be gimped and DOA in game.
Maybe we should’ve just received MAN Pantsir and avoid all these headaches by trying to fight the reporting system.

i feel like they may have intentionally nerfed the slm , maybe they will fix it with the addition of ARMs ?. even as of now the slm is decent it can easily intercept kh38s , it has some trouble with brimstones n some other munitions but if they fix its radar it should atleast be able to defend itself and its team from enemy cas.
So we’re just screwed then? There’s not going to be any unclassified sources of the missile’s flight giving velocity and position over time in a neat graph. We have to make do with these crumbs of info that show that the current missile kinematics are blatantly underperforming, but are not allowed to infer how characteristics like speed and flight path must be corrected?

This is more on Diehl being secretive tbh. Derby missiles have specification that can be used, even Buk-M3 has enough acceptable data that can be used
Please tell me we’ve another source confirming these numbers…
this is from an article in Schweizer Soldat from an interview with Diehl
the only place where i have seen such details
they also report a test shot where a drone was engaged at a distance of over 30km. said drone was maneuvering yet still intercepted. the IRIS-T SLM interceptor reached an altitude of over 12km and had a flight time of around a minute
> test report
> some napkin math
> only see the napkin math
DENIED
:gets DM from an senior mod asking why math cant be used
:report gets accepted
XD
(Dunno if this realy happend)
but like, we have proven so far:
- the range isnt possible to archiv in game at all
- Time to Target does not match with IRL Reports
Surely we are not missing 1 Mach )))))
I tried intercepting a kh38, it proxied but nothing happened.
That seem to corroborate the Diehl press releases from 2015. And it’s great that the report was changed to a partial accepted, though the tech mod seems to be a lil confused in the final response. The missile of the IRST-T SLM system is the IRIS-T SL, like Diehl repeatedly confirms even in current press material. Air Defence Systems | Diehl Defence | Diehl Defence

Did you look into the replay view?
Afaik the seeker on slm (not sure of others) can’t actually track munitions and just relies on DL to get lucky and get a direct intercept.
the missile is the IRIS-T SLM. ask them, send them an e-mail. IRIS-T SL is the old name.
But it just isn’t the old name. The system IRIS-T SLM uses the IRIS-T SL missile. That is clear everywhere in Diehl’s own material on the ammunition and system. Guided Missiles | Diehl Defence | Diehl Defence
