Too right, these vehicles are unable to engage munitions at distances below 9km.
Testing it in a controlled environment lead to a hit rate in the 20 percentages (one-by-one btw), in an actual battle with several going off at once delivered by vehicles that are either immune or can easy terrain mask it’s no wonder they’re unable to manage.
I should’ve prefaced this was tested with the LMUR and AGM-179, the most numerous of all munitions you see nowadays.
There is an accepted bug report on this issue… few days old… maybe few months
No? The Sky Sabre uses a HX 44 and the SLM uses a SX 45.
You have to make a distinction here, launcher and Radar use different trucks.
Radar uses SX45(L)
As for launcher, it seems to be HX77, but I lack definitive proof.
For context here is a comprised list of all the munitions shot down over the course of 113 matches.
I have reason to believe that a total of 84 munitions would be representative of that many matches if it’s capabilities were up to snuff.
If you could provide a source, I would love to see it.
Looked into it. The choice of the truck depends on the nation which operates the system as these systems seem to be transportation platform agnostic (Could even be a special semi-trailer pulled by a commercial truck).
Germany seems to operate their SLM systems with SX 45 according to this site (and every other I found when searching “IRIS-T SLM SX 45”). The presentations at military fairs were also done on SX 45 for the SLM system.
Hmm, you are probably correct there.
Still depends on what it’s actually mounted on ingame however.
I believe this brochure might be of some use.
Both SX45 and HX44 both use D2066 as well I’ve been told.
The main difference you can see, no matter what is at the back, is front fenders.
HX has a depression between the front wheels, while SX has a triangular shape going much deeper.
Location of the spare well is different, as well as the whole structure of equipment behind the cab.
Also, exhaust on SX is on the left, while on HX it is on the right.
some SX45’s dont have that part of the front fender either, the obvious point is the rear suspension
You can see here it is leaf spring suspension on the IRIS-T SLM, which to me proves its based on a HX truck.
To me, that only means they modelled the wrong truck in game ^^
Anyway it can be carried by both trucks even though the german army uses only SX 45 with them AFAIK.
Can we get a working system first and think about different trucks later? Pretty please guys.
Any bets for fixes today? My guess is they did absolutely nothing.
100% nothing. And we lost our chance at having another nation mains complain about it as well, since sweeds got themselves another system.
Hey you could complain the US got a Norwegian system lol. Those are Scania trucks on the US lmao.
US only operates the launcher and has nothing that can move and fire. So just ask for another nations vehicle as longbas Germany had a gand in its creation they should get it.
