Thats literally the aircraft version
Yeah? Why would the seeker of the SLM have a different range?
Idk i don’t build wepons. maybe the old one was to expensive? To hard to massproduce? Not needed?
Can have 100 reasons
SLM use the same seeker ffs, only difference is that the one on the SLM is more improved and have Data-link to support it.
Do you have a source for that claim?
Its not a claim, you can read his comment verbatim on the diehl defence website
Thank you, give me a minute ima read up
Where in that does it say that the SLS and SLM are the same IR seeker?
https://new.diehl.com/defence/en/products/guided-missiles/#iris-t-sl
Maybe that one or do you need to have it spelled out?

Maybe that was not the link he send me, and yes normally you spell your sources out thank you
Here use this Diehl Defence: IRIS-T SL
Where it says that compared to the normal IRIS-T it has all those extra things and doesn’t mention anything about downgrading the seeker.
I think the onus falls on you to provide information that the seeker was changed in any way instead of just being like “maybe they changed it”.

Well this says the new features? It doesn’t list a range nor does it list drawbacks.
is also the only page of the Diehl that even mentions the terminal range
Spoiler
What kinda source do you want? Every source so far says the SLM is an improved version of the SLS, no source mentions a new seeker and the 25km comes from the SLS having the same seeker range as its own kinematic range ergo 25km
What’s worse is that Gaijin just made it 3rd gen IIR and turn it into a general purpose seeker, when in reality it cannot see or track targets before launch. It’s a thermal imager aid for terminal guidance.
Funny thing, they don’t mension any downsides! Almost like it is an advertisement, not a technical document
funny thing to say, do you have proof it was 10km terminal range to begin with?
Wow, you’re just not worth arguing with i guess

Why? Only i need a scource? You say the terminal range of the SLM and SLS should be the same but can’t even say what that terminal range is
SLS doesn’t even have a terminal range, the seeker is on as soon as it launches
So if you take that as terminal range its 8-12km (in game)
What makes no sense at all is that if DL is lost the seeker will just stay shut until it reaches within 4km of the last known point of the aircraft
because there is none, Seeker range = kinematic range of the SLS
