Iris-t slm

its either no missile has contrails
or all missiles have contrails.
you can look at the 9X, Python-5, 9M, etc for that

Well on all videos/footage (exept the onece in the deser are), the SLM have smoke (contrails… call it whatever you like)… so it shoud be smokless only on desert maps.

it just so happens that pretty much all of the footage from ukraine is during the winter or other cold months.

read up

if you really really REALLY want IRIS-T SLM to keep its trail, go ahead and make a suggestion for contrails for all missiles

Mach 4.5 - 1400m/s in 3.5s

This thing is brutally fast, but does not burn for long

That’s the first stage. Second stage has a sustainer plus some more fuel for the lateral thrusters. Anyway, that’s not the subject of this thread

Any news on radar bug fixes? The radar implementation is really sad

No, Nope, Negative

Community Bug Reporting System sad…

It’s a bug report service. If you have suggestions for the game, you can submit them on the forum:
Suggestions - War Thunder — official forum

To be fair, it is not a bug, just a consequence of the filter but I agree, your own missile DL should not be filtered 🫤

Will write it this way that its a Bug )))))

Community Bug Reporting System not a bug → cannot be reported until we have an NEW SAM system which spins clockwise…

Well, it was working just fine for systems with that scan pattern. Then this update came. Wonder what they broke.

so weird lol - you’d think they would leave a real inaccuracy in accepted and proceed to do nothing about it for years

Today it failed to intercept Kh-38s, couldn’t kill a barely hovering Su-27 spamming ML’s from the airfield even though GNSS and DL should’ve got them, this thing becomes worthless the moment the radar gets spoofed by a rocket.

Honestly its both my SLS and SLM, both do the same horrible curve after launching but the SLS can’t intercept munitions from my experience. In some tests with a friend the SLS came the closest to kill my Su-34 when within 3km but both failed to hit me. Friend fired all 8 SLM’s while i did circles and the SLS fired his 4 with them getting kinda close except for one that flew into the atmosphere after a magical bee i guess

Radar is also super gimmicky and honestly so bad to use as if you drop a ton of bombs the radar can occasionally lose the jet on radar.

It loses track of aircraft and goes for whatever is in front of it, rockets, missiles, anything in the path of the radar will make it so that DL switches the target. This is the main issue at the moment, and GNSS not being implemented makes matters worse. But not being able to intercept missiles out to 8 or 10 km distance is just sad.

SLS is even worse no DL, why its 12.0 is beyond me lol. Hopefully we see the bugs with IRIS-T in general get fixed. Especially the horrible lofting curve.

I think the more annoying thing is when someone with a guided missiles fires at a target and i watch my missile track his guided one instead of the target im firing at…
