the Issue is, we cant use the files, we have to prove it in game

How is that supposed to be done? AFAIK theres no way to see the RCS of anything in game
You can technically take smth like a Scout drone or very small rocket / missile and try with that.
In theory, while these very likely still have a higher RCS than 0.01 m², if its not able to see these you know the Radar is no where near the 0.01m² detection.

Doesnt the standard MiG-15 target have a known/acknowledged RCS ingame? Could use that and some math as well no?

It can, but at closer ranges. I’m not sure here, but I assume it means the 0.01 at max range.
I don’t know, but even if, I highly doubt its below 2m² even. Maybe @Gunjob has an idea how you could report / test properly it.

Btw @Dontkev-psn , I am probly wrong but shouldn’t the Launcher Vehicle have some kind of Passive Radar, enabling a limited stand-alone capability ?
No. Launcher has only 2 DL antenne, one to connect to command vehicle, other to guide the missiles.
Not that we are aware of, the (Issue) is that you need to first guide the missile via datalink (which isnt working properly in game for any SAM currently)
Thw reason is thw Aerodynamik cap on top of the SLM, you need first DL connection that the Missile knows in which direction its supposed to go, after that the Missile could Jettison the Cap and go Terminal

DL works, but the missile pathing is flawed.
I would say the Missiles arent set up yet properly, because if we look in the files we csn see the SLM should be able to reach Mach 3.0
Yeah, and also a lot of reports say it’s capable of Mach 3. At 700m/s It would be a very dumbed-down missile, and that’s why it can’t reach 60 Gs at that speed. Also, the SLS is a Mach 2 missile.

source for that?
because:
Oh yeah after much more digging both are capable mach 3
Cant remember the figure off the top of my head its either 2m²or 5m² but it is used as the standard for “fighter type target”.

Hm, maybe the F-117 could be used for such tests ?
Yeah probably suitable.

But wouldn’t this need that the F-117 has its RCS realy reduced?
That’s just a statcard number, and the statcard often lies.

But then the Weapon View would also lie, because the Highest number so far was ~2400km/h
Also, the Statcard says only 700m/s
Edit, mixed it with SLM
Dont know about the state of SLS
