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.
The secondary difference is the transmission and design age.
The HX is the newer version and has a automatic/manual 12 speed, the SX appears to be automatic 6 speed with hi/lo two speed coupler.
Actually given the timelines in this, the truck shouldn’t be a SX, it should be an HX/HX2 given it adheres to emissions compliance and the first IRIS-T’s were delivered to germany in 2024.
IF the gears are done right (DOUBT) 14F+4R should mean far better acceleration and torque to the wheels. Since few maps require highway speeds this isn’t much of a nerf but a buff for getting around on mountain/hilly maps.
JK who are we kidding, nobody leaves the spawn.
Yeah, it’s a nothingburger, you can’t move anywhere with this thing if you wanted to.

Still no change for IRIS-T SLM in dev server? Like jettisoned nose cone from 4km or anything?
Nada so far, it appears this is an update without any changes. Honestly DLIRCM can’t be fixed overnight, they are probably going to make a “Fair Play” announcement like they did for beam riding missiles a few years ago.
LDIRCM:
Deflect infinite amount of missiles at once? ✅
Works against IRIS-T even with datalink? ✅
No cool down timer? ✅

From a programming standpoint it would be rather easy to fix. Jam the closest IR missile until it deviates from the course enough, then switch to the next after a short delay during retargeting, rinse and repeat.
Of course that’s more diffcult, or rather complex, than to just check if the missile is in a certain area and distance around the aircraft and just deviate it.
