Haven’t heard anything on that but helis definitely need a nerf especially now that so many are running 8+ 16km FnF missiles lol
Yeah wounder whos making these kind of decisions. Its currently a bit special. One Z10 or Mi28 and the match is lost. Nothing you might do about it. Would gladly use Flarakrad with saclos missiles, but they’re usually far out of range.

After testing with a friend honestly it seems gaijin wanted to try and bring the SLM in line with the rest of the SPAA but honestly i think thats the wring way to go, they need to bolster the other SPAA to pre nerfed SLM.
Its super easy for me to fire rockets and completely screw over an SLM and just overwhelm them with radar signatures, even worse is i can just sit and fire KH-38MT from my runway, you’ll run out of ammo eventually and once you do you’re dead.
Helis are equally as bad, honestly super lethal. I just fire RB75/AGM65 at them or GBU because those are more reliable than missiles sadly.
It would still be interesting to know on what they based the 12,6 kN for twelve seconds thrust of the booster. The SLM doesn’t use the usual aluminium based solid-rocket booster, which would have a bright orange flame, as multiple videos show a crimson red flame which indicates that the rocket-boosters fuel is lithium based which should give it a stronger thrust and higher impuls.
Idk actually as i sed the devs probably put theses numbers only as guess and place holders, other wise in this video it can clearly be seen in the second missile launch that the missile booster have a brun time of greater than 15 seconds my theory is that the booster have a brun time of about 20 seconds, since light from the flame can be seen all the way till impact.

And in the first two seconds you can wonderfully see the red flame :D
I would guess if you made a bug report for the booster burn time with this video as a source it would get rejected because “you can’t see the weapon system in the dark, so no way to know what it shows.”.
woah can you do bug report with this
Don’t worry i have another one with 18-20 seconds burn time
Plus there is a bug report about the flame color bc it’s very iconic for the SLM

And yee probably bug reports with only videos will probably get rejected unfortunately, but i don’t fully know.

Not quite as a video should be as good as a primary source actually?
I could but idk what results we will get both videos in here clearly shows ghe SLM having a booster brun time if about 20 seconds but idk if that’s enough to make a bug report.
You will be surprised of what excuses they will make to rejecte bug reports TwT.

Oof, alright…
Btw the first video you can see it’s clearly an SLM
I can use it but as i sed idk how will things go.
Could be worth a try. I could also guess that they don’t accept reports with data from a “special” active conflict.
I might do it later today using these two videos.
Yee this could be a problem too but idk how could someone argue against such evidence, i might tag a mode here and ask him before doing a report
I could remember that they have a very “pecular” stance on this, so yes, better ask a mod before.
I just asked unfortunately it can’t be used, and i quote “No as the video can be sped up or slowed down. If it was a manufacturer video maybe. But not war footage sorry.”
So yee it’s a very reasonable and valid point, since these videos can be tampered with.

The vids are pretty clear cut. You can cleary see when the booster turns off. Primary source.
You surely won’t get anything better before the manuals / specs get declassified in like 50 years.
And Gayjin really wanted that classified document. Like which one country will provide full detail how their latest military instruments work with current world situation? What can they do right now just to make it close enough to IRL ability with any resource that we have currently. (Meanwhile at same time Gayjin know how blueprint vehicle works in the game)
