The missile is already good, only problem still affecting range is the lofting logic.
Yes they can. If they wish to, they can say they are keeping missile in a nerfed state for ballance, or they can accept the sources and not change anything.
It is entirely up to them when and if a change is made.

These 2 are things of beauty, i do wonder how much time and energy is lost doing these useless maneuvers.

Why the hell missile always want to chase it’s try to go behind and dog fight with the planes 😭
Wrong. It loses lock 90% of the time against munitions, crashes into the ground chasing low alt targets, has no chance of reaching mach 3, and the TWS thinks that every enemy rocket is headed straight at the radar regardless of actual path, which no doubt messes with DL guidance.
They’ve claimed over and over that they don’t apply unrealistic nerfs for balance. Ironically that is literally a marketing lie by Gaijin.

I was obviously talking about the missile in a Kinematic sense, i’ve hit targets at over 20km, at low alts even, i know full well it has DL and tracking bugs that makes it unusable but those don’t pertain to the missiles kinematics.

As someone who faces IRIS-T SL they are as busted as the Pantsir was when it dominated.
I love being forced to fly low and still having to dodge 10+ missiles…spoiler it’s not fun and you die 90% of the time.

Eazy way to solve that, just spawn an Tank

if only you could do indirect fires >45° on a map
If only Arty like PzH 2000 could work like IRL :(

tbh i think cas still dominates , idk why but people are not realizing that they can use air to air missiles like decoy missiles , you can drop a bomb/atgm and spam a bunch of fox3s and fire the remaining bombs/atgms and trust me atleast 1 or 2 will hit the target , but the only difference is that you spend everything on 1 target instead of wiping the entire team.
pantsir has a higher Pk below 15k, much faster missiles, can defend itself better, less likely to warn the target, smaller profile, single vehicle, tanks direct ATGM hits… it’s not even close
i’m also a big fan of the sekrit russian technology that makes pantsir ice cold on thermals
SLM is much better than pantsir beyond 5-6km

you’re entitled to your incorrect opinion
I’m losing most Iris system to ground units. Its due to the maps and the huge size of the trucks. They’re hard to hide and very vulnerable. So it happenes that I get blapped too often from the ground. Sometimes even while leaving the spawn, its just too high to not get shot into the dish on some maps.
I’d ask whether its possible to spawn a defense unit for these purposes, like a Gepard as third vehicle type. This system is just not supposed to be in a frontline town or a frontline map. So some tweaks are neccessary.
Pantsir f.e. has these helldeath guns which work well against close range threats. Iris has absolutely nothing. It always hurts when you loose this complex without any option to do something.
I don’t die to ground units much personally, but I also don’t spawn the SLM on smaller maps. Some nations aren’t allowed to have decent air defense on all maps, that’s just the way it is on Russia #1 simulator
tbh it’s already a miracle that SLM was added with half of its IRL performance

It also doesnt help when you are smashing out missiles the whole map can see and yeah to anyone who has an aircraft in their line up it’s a priority target. Having 17 fire and forget missiles and that super handy Radar interface makes it insane and 2 of them can shut down any airspace and what they miss.
Germany does seem to often be paired with Russia so you have the Pantsir and Su-30 dream team.
IRIS-T is superior to Pantsir, If it wants to kill you it will you can’t escape it like you can the Pantsir. I have managed to defeat 4 (I think IRIS-T) missiles and they just keep launching on you. You can’t even skirt the battlefield to avoid them as they have fantastic range.
And if by some chance you are the only enemy aircraft up you are just unbelievably dead. Typhoons on British or Italian sides cannot even get close and you need to guide your missile so even if by some chance you fire all 16 wothout guidance they will miss so IRIS-T players ignore the missiles and focus on you ensuring your death.
