that is just nonsense
it is a 27 ton truck
did you ever see a truck irl they arent fast they dont accelerate quickly and even less so if it is offroad

Vehicle technologies are moving faster than the core game and maps can adapt. Are we going to get HARM and Patriot batteries next update and still be playing in something like Rhine? It’s just not sustainable anymore, maps and game modes need to reflect the capabilities of top tier vehicles, these new SAMs are like shooting fish in a barrel for anyone that competent with a plane.

I know this truck, we used to deliver ammunition to field maneuvers etc. The ingame appearance is just lauchable, especially the first 10 seconds when you try to throttle up.

How about the reverse speed?
))))
I did some surface level research. It appears that reverse speed should be around 15-20 km/h, while forward speed should be 90 km/h. I’m not sure, but that was all the information I was able to find about the gearbox of that truck
For the SLM or FlaRakRad?
Because I have an Comment from the Bundeswehr Museum in Dresden also saying 20-30, but I have also an FOI waiting for answer

Happy 405 Error
We also had an offroad / dirtroad parcour in in the back section of our base (mud, steep hilltops etc). You won’t believe what these trucks can do.
Ingame however, almost no torque and no traction (well thats the case for all vehicles). Ingame it feels as if you try to throttle up in 2nd or even 3rd gear instead of 1st. You press the forward key and barely anything happens. Also reverse speed was alot higher than ingame. They somehow nerfed it some months ago. Probably some guys of the hater crowd pulled some questionable sources and one update later Flaraktruck barely moved anymore, especially reverse. Similar to this french guy who almost single handedly got IRIS T SLM nerfed on Dev. As soon a source is provided which nerfs German vehicles, it gets adopted very quickly. Even if questionable. It usually takes the efford of the whole community and 100 counter-sources to fix this.
Thats why I go the Heavy way and filled an FOI
Because I am also looking for sources on it…
I asked the Bundeswehr Museum in Dresden, they dont have real sources but there experts say that it should be around 20-30 km/h
2 days ago was the Day of the Bundeswehr, I asked an Driver of an truck he also said 20-30, but its nearly impossible to get an written source which Gaijin would accept…
So, FOI as last option

Have they ever simulated torque and power curves correctly for vehicles (especially for the turbocharged ones), besides the obvious things like traction? The MAN SX45 (vehicle for the SLM) should have around 2100 Nm torque so even if it weighs around 30 t it should accelerate very well. The MTU 873 of the Leopard 2 has 4700 Nm torque, so not much more than double the torque for a vehicle which is >62 t heavy, so the SX45 should only be negligible worse in acceleration.

Finally found a clear picture showing the IRIS-T SL Missile’s IR seeker. Every picture of it shows the cap but now I can actually link a picture to it.

Anybody have experienced 3 or more IRIS-T SLM missile can’t shoot down heli that have DIRCM? So how to shoot down this heli with latest gen missile.
405 error :3
Thanks bro, where’d you even find this?
Swiss Magazine interview with Diehl CEO from like 2015-2016; hence the outdated “IRIS-T SL” nomenclature

Anybody know why other toptier SPAA (such as Pantsir and CLAWS) able to detect Comanche from 7km while IRIS-T SLM TRML-4D only able to detect from 5km?
My highest Comanche I got was about 8km
RCS shenanigans. CLAWS detects 1.0 RCS at 20km. TRML 10.5 RCS at 120km.
Some calculations later will be the answer.
Error 405, anyone?
last time I saw Comanche hovering 7km and can’t do anything about it. it just hovering chilling waiting his hellfire to hit something.
Tbf, the RCS is just all over the place, try to lock an Scout drone at more than 2,2km
Spoiler, you wont
Yes, just got an 405
Make it an double 405 error…
