In the new spaa overlay, what keybind is the “Target lock” button? I need to click it which sucks, there’s no hotkey shown.
Ah, spaghet
SLM has perma target TWS lock

you can’t lock target because its tws only you can switch targets only on this type of radar they wont hard lock only tws

Thanks, and forgive me for the OT, but this is actually the ItO 90M which does need to lock.

ohhhh well that’s bit weird
should have hard lock as far as i can tell like the German one
Seems like a bug. It is the “Lock radar” bind that I have on mouswheel in the image above, but that hotkey doesn’t work in the overlay. If I add another key, that shows.
Lets try again, hopefully wont be taken down immediately;

no you need to understand the because no weapon is 100% effective it means the iris t should fail against munitions 80% of the time.

It does not mean it should fail 80% of the time it has a chance to fail maybe 10-20% of the time even though there are numerous reports of it being near 100% effective at intercepting munitions of various types except seemingly Hypersonic Weapons

Radar/Missile Sync Bugs
target desync or the missile not properly tracking when launched at distance. Is it a bug, or is it ammmmmm … idk
im being sarcastic

Man i have having such a great time with slm but yes proxi not being there is a big issue but still slm is even directly hit scout drone under 800 meter 😭 hitting planes directly at distances

Do I need to left click before right click to launch missile in radar table? I thought that I can just right click it, sometimes it works, sometimes not. If I do without left click, I feel like all my missiles are launching to previous targetted aircraft
If you observe carefully enough, you will find that after selecting and attacking a target in the list on the right, the newly selected unit will be slightly highlighted in the list, and the symbol ‘*’ will be added after the leftmost column of numbers, indicating that the target has been locked by IRIS-T and the missile is on its way to destroy it
Theres no way it isnt proxy? It feels really strong already, if its actually not proxying thats halarious.
I think the problem of IR missiles being unable to lock onto munitions due to the lackluster IR signature simulation is also a massive part of the problem here. IR missiles even have problems locking onto munitions with a burning motor if they come exactly frontal (can’t lock onto a burning AIM-120 with an AIM-9M above 1 km directly from the front). IR lock onto cold munitions is nearly impossible, with luck you get a lock around 500 meters if not less.
The solution would be to give IIR seekers like the SLM the ability to lock onto targets at much longer ranges in all situations. They are working, like the name suggests, by imagery target recognition due to slight temperature differences to their surroundings, so can even follow cold or only minimally heated targets (due to air friction even at subsonic speeds) at longer distances.
But currently the lock-on ranges for all IR missiles seems to be way too short giving the now years long outstanding reports for the lock-on ranges for the AIM-9L/M missiles.
so its not smokeless motor?
It was never build to be smokeless…
