Iris-t slm

@Smin1080p_WT for an lofting report, would that also count? Because it confirms our current findings while its from Diehl Defence

It’s also going to be in the French and Italian trees…Dont expect it to be good.
BUK will be amazing though as it’s Russian and has missiles with 75km range. But being purely ARHM they will have to reduce remove multipathing to make the system useable in game.

Look at ur PMs i found a video with several SLM starts

Depends on the ATSER variant. The early ASTER 30B1 has a range of about 100km with an effective range of 60km. The 120+ range is for the B1NT.

It also has insane pull, 50G in the initial phase and the dart can do more than 60G (both aerodynamically and through sideway thrusters). It’s only issue will lie with the fact that it’s an ARH, so multipathing and notching will be a strategy to evade the missile

once you launch an missile you cant see your own Missile has the Missile runs as Friendly since its your own,

Not gonna lie, that sentence feels hard to follow.

Better?

once you launch an missile you cant see that Missile on your Radar screen as it runs under the Friendly filter

Also means choppers will be immune to them, unless something changes and gaijin is finally convinced that helicopters can be locked by PD radar sets.

It’s obvious that chopper blades turning at several hundred RPM don’t have any pulse Doppler return, silly !

Hey @Smin1080p_WT
We have these two bug reports backed by Diehl brochure for a reduced smoke output (Diehl say it’s smokeless)

The mod responding not only sending bad non recognizable pictures but he also seems to confuse between SLS and SLM

irist slx when ?

I dont Think it’s anywhere close to be in service anywhere ? (I don’t know much about IRIS-T SL variants)
Also in game IIR missiles seem to be much better than their ARH counterparts. The Spyder and SLAMRAAM really aren’t impressive at all despite better range than the Pantsir on paper. I am not actually confident the ASTER 30 would be much better than the IRIS-T SLM (with actual loft) in game. Just because as long as the IRIS-T gets a lock on someone, it creates a 20km dead zone while all ARH, no matter their range, can be folded by simple notching or multipathing

not to mention that the level of how visible is the smoketrail is, is also dependent of temperature and other metrological parameters

Ye, in the Mod Pictures it has nearly double the Smoke of an Roland Missile

Same white smoke and almost same density
Plus in here is saab video for the air launch version

On the other hand you have the SLM

Did they use different propellant? The SLS have brighter yellow colour, while SLM have bright red colour.

Possibly, but who knows such info about the solid propellant are classified.
