Skysabre is the same :(
Maybe shoot down helis with it
With Sky Sabre, i will attempt to remove it based on avaiable data.

still waiting for gaijin to fix the LDIRCM garbage
Point lock
Any advice on how to avoid the IRIS-T can dodge 1, 2 missiles but then get hit by the 3rd or 4th.
Great idea to give you a SAM with 16 rapid fire fnf missiles really good for gameplay
Carry a rocket pod, and fly low. When you fire a rocket, the SLM will nearly 100% of the time change target to it. As for avoiding it, surprisingly doing the standard maneuvers also work, just more extreme.
Typhoon runs out of energy so quickly and can’t carry a rocket pod.
It’s like the system doesn’t counter the Kh-38 spam but just dunks on anything that doesn’t have FnF missiles.
ARM are long overdue at least then Typhoon could have a fire and forget weapon
PGMs should’ve been added to the Eurofighter long ago, it’s the only FnF weapon that could be added to it and isn’t totally broken like Kh-38s

SLM is too vulnerable. Other systems are simply smaller (helps alot) or/and can be used vs. close range + ground threats like the Pantsir.
Its not a bad Idea to swap out one launcher vehicle for a Skynex, Gepard or Skyranger. There are alot rocky pit maps or urban maps with almost no line of sight, so you need a gun system. Not speaking about ground units sneaking up to your position.
Pantsir has a full SAM loadout, OP radar, thermal view and these multi barreled guns. Thats why its so op, it has something for every situation. Iris is often locked in a small part of the map, due to its huge size and gets too easily dunked with close range passes…which are unavoidable on a lot maps.
I also noticed it to have very bad stats at Skyshark. Something needs to improve.
You need close range capabilities.
Defense vs ground or offmap spawns.
Radar update rate needs fixes.
Random radar locks need to be fixed as well…this is the worst. Radar lock always snaps over to ordnance, which costs you alot kills. Phantom with Zunis or FFAR pods is unstoppable vs. Iris. Its idiotic. I also have the impression its about to get exploited now vs. German teams. Phantoms and early heli spawns shooting endless waves of rockets become FOTM.
Thats what you can see @statshark.

Pantsirs while scary can’t guide 6+ missiles at you.
Zuni spam and overwhelming SAMs has always been a strat I have panic dumped 9 brimstones into a Pantsir to avoid dying.
that worked, as pantsir has, and had the same issue as SLM now, that is target switching by TWS.

so even guided rockets has this damn issue now? haven’t noticed that on my Flarakrad
No. Pantsir track is TWS only (if you eclude ir). That caused it to change targets when other stuff were fired.
FlaRak has STT, so it does not affect it.
Incredibly easy to defeat as the missile has TV seeker without IOG.
If Pantsir is OP then SLM is mega OP.
Statshark literally shows it’s the best AA in the game currently.
Only improvement needed is for other nations to receive SLM equivalents.

I even edited my original comment to include Hammers and Kh-29s, they are good against these truck SPAA as they can’t move quickly enough. Kh-29 are fast and point locks will suffice in most scenarios, and you don’t require a lot of precision because of the massive warhead. Specially in pop up, surprise attacks.
You picked the most irrelevant part of my original comment, people even bring B Mavericks at top tier too, doesn’t mean they are borderline useless. It’s just a petty thing to fixate on.
All this debate makes me laugh just bring me back to era where Pantsir so advance several years ago while other nations stuck with garbage stuff (and the VT1 being nerfed to the point the missile goin wiggle wiggle after launched) …
So ironic now these people complain about IRIS-T after several years where only Russia have control of the sky. in my perspective new AA (mainly IRIS-T) bring back the balance for GRB where you can enjoy Tank VS Tank without being disturbed by Heli and CAS (Mainly Russia CAS) like before Leviathan. Let’s take the positive impact for the game…
I think the problem is that its the Pantsir problem all over again but worse. The Pantsir made it so only Russia could have CAS. The IRIS-T SLM does the same thing except now only 1-2 nations can use any form of CAS.
Dont get me wrong im all for CAS being screwed over in ground RB but Germany having essentially Pantsir MK.II while everyone else has roland 1 equivalents makes no sense. Gaijin could’ve brought actual balance for everyone. Additionally having an IRIS-T on your team makes any other SPAA worthless as you basically cant do anything. Id like to see all SPAA brought to a more similar level if possible rather than just making Germany the new Russia when it comes to SPAA.
