Iris-t slm

Nice, I really wouldn’t mind a version of the missile in game that actually climbs to high altitude vertically before it begins to turn, yeah you lose some close range interception ability, but I’d much rather have the higher kill potential at distance than a missile that burns all of its energy and climbs in the most inefficient way imaginable to the target lol.

Kinda like this

The missile needs more time to climb before it can begin to turn.

I think rather than orienting it manually to 90… i could experiment with letting it orient itself via DL or maybe only orient it some 10 or 20 degrees to let it chart a smoother curve

Unrelated but I’ve never seen that clip before, SLM is FAST, like damn it climbed to like 200 meters in just a second.

Ingame most interceptions of munitions fail. IRL it seems to be very reliable to kill off missiles.

He says 8 missiles downed in 30 seconds… And ingame?

Zero
0
Nada :))

For the record, I haven’t been able to intercept a single LMUR or BA-11 because DL can only guide 4 targets at a time, radar refresh is too slow for DL course corrections and IR locks are not possible because of the low heat signature of helicopter AGMs lmao.

That’s how it should be in the first place, it always climb up to a certain altitude then it start moving towards the target, eather descending on it or climbing up after the turn to match it’s altitude, the phase at which the missile orient it slef then correct it’s path depending on how close is the target, and only start lofting if the target is far should be removed.

Spoiler











That’s what I’ve been trying to say.

In game, it’s basically a pathetic 30 meter or less climb, it then turns 90 degrees because of the “Autopilot” and begins to climb at a shallow angle, wasting precious energy and time. In real life, the missile climbs to 200 meters or more, turns and begins to dive on or climb on the target as needed.

I think Ger already needs a new SPAA. Cause lets face it, Iris-t is not up to the task. Lasted 2 patch cycles and its already obsolete. introduction of LMUR killed it pretty much.

We need Patriot at this point, Russia got the BUK which is S300 level with just fewer range, but has similar speed and capabilities. I feel like the SLM is going to be yet another vehicle in the German tech tree that is doomed to never be fixed and forever be stuck in “forwarded for review limbo”, makes me think of the Puma…

Considering map sizes of GRB, you don’t really need more range than BUK currently offers. I don’t know what Gajin did, but its just not possible to kill ordnance with Iris. Jets are extremly hard to hit as well, after latest changes. Most commonly used enemy helis are outright immune to IRIS-T. So how are you supposed to protect yourself and the team?

Forget about this. Its really Patriot what is needed at this point. Its probably about the recent conflict. Something like Iris is not allowed to be useful ingame.

I mean there is Samp/t ingame. Patriot can be introduced now imho.

Yeah, there is absolutely no reason to no have Patriot at this point, even early versions of it would suffice, BUK M3 is quite literally a Mach 5 HYPERSONIC missile and so is Patriot, it is even slower than BUK but has similar range, Patriot is not OP according to Gaijin’s new policy on SAMs, if they allowed BUK with a Mach 5 missile in the game then Patriot should come to all nations that use it too.

I would be happy with a 10km seeker SLX.

I’d be happy if they revert back the nerf and fix LDIRCM on helis…

Diehl defence could openly tell gaijin that actually german ir missiles don‘t have a lock on range limited to 3 cm in front of the seeker (like they are basically modeled in game, esp against helis) and they still wouldn‘t adjust it :/

That’s because the data mine repository is taking Gaijin’s blk format and converting it to json. If you datamine the files yourself into BLK format the bracket syntax is a lot more sensible.

No the missile functions as programmed. it’s more a parameter problem

I’d be great to have like a status tab on each target in the radar menu to know what happend, simple info like msl launched, lost trck, msl lost trgt, impact, lost msl, etc.

I’m havimg a hard time knowing if the missile missed, lost, got shot or anything else

Time before impact also wouldn’t hurt

im still off the belief that the iris-t slm system is MUCH MUCH more important than iris-t to european autonomy. its such a capable medium range air defense system and its not overly expensive.

the new kh59me is very similar to kh101 in terms of speed, now kh101 is an harder target irl but its also one iris t slm has no problem intercepting, you guys that have the SLM should test out the intercept of a few volleys of Kh59me and see how it performs

absolutely, but also am i tweaking or is there no Anti air capable of zooming the camera? like there is a button for it but no aa has it do anything from my experience
