“The missile’s max G is a paper stat Sure it can pull 26G but only when it’s already breathing down the target’s neck at 300 meters like a jealous ex That’s not combat performance that’s desperation The real problem is the spool up It takes a full second to hit 25G that second is everything If the target breaks hard while the missile’s still winding up it’s game over The missile misses not because it cant pull but because it pulls too late”
well this is disappointing
Can u share it some video or screenshot show I am not able to understand it properly please
" man i mean it’s not bad at all it actually good the range is pretty solid like i got hit at all kh 38 su34 lunch from 18km and hit him at some 20km+ when he was trying to land on his airfield lol but still miss quite bit of its performance like 38dgr of fin aoa and 40g still can’t hit Mach 3 at any altitude max was 2.9 which is good but hey give us 100% not 80%

OK it’s like try to predict when target want to go instead of going at it and even if its close like 1km it doesn’t pull fully until get really close 500m and lower and in that case is impossible to hit plane anyway it just will fly right by sometimes doesn’t man feels weird i think because it don’t have enough fin aoa so it cant react fast enough

like the SLM is a 40g tvc missile the closest missile to it is the MICA EM which is a 50g tvc missile and when launched from zero speed it still feels snappy as long as the MICA EM is above Mach 1.5 it will pull 40G plus no problem and it doesn’t show the weird behaviour the SLM has
the SLM just refuses to go past 25g even when it has the speed and energy to do so it feels like it missing something fin aoa maybe? or time to hit like some missile will not do 100% of their g Capability until 5km or something like that to preserve energy

Well as much I have seen it is same like r73 it does not need much g pull because TVC helps pull more aoa without more g i have seen missile literally drifting with the help of TVC

Man the justin video was nice touch to it . We should make a poster where irst is throwing missile towards a su30sm which is dropping kh38mt both having contrails would be epic poster for ground vs air

EldE 98 deciding if its worth intercepting the KH38 or let it impact friendly
you only got 4 afterall. (4 extra with resupply)
Air kill is worth more than missile interception…
I havent managed to down a single SU30 yet, each time they fire a missile my IRIS-T just gets confused and misses.
