Was that sand of Sinai match?
No, one of the winter maps. Theoretically with lotsa cover… But this Z10 was hovering high above the battlefield and shot right from above. No cover possible. They just climb up there, while ignoring like 10 IRIS SAMs^^ Once they’re above the battlefield, they look 90 deg down and see everyone.
Was also mainly a German team with everyone sporting IRIS. For these cases you need Flarakrad or Roland. Its just meh, this whole DIRCM mechanic. Maybe thats the way, wasting another slot for an old SACLOS SAM vehicle. Cause up to date systems can’t deal with mighty DIRCM.
Funny that i just got clapped in it by the first IRIS-T missile.
Mi28 DIRCM coverage is not 100%, thats true. But Z-10 is…
Oh so that’s why I never get clapped by ir missiles in my Z-10ME but happened when I was playing with Mi28NM.
Make sense.
It doesn’t really matter though? Once the IRIS-T gets hit by the LDIRCM its basically dead. Basically any helicopter makes the entire system more of a detriment to the team.
a barrel roll while flaring is enough to decoy an IRIST. stop these lies man.
Messes me up as a Typhoon armed with crappy Brimstones, you either end up spending the whole game defending and sooner or later one of those missile will ignore your flare and smack you.
Or you try to make the attack and the Brimstone doesn’t kill and you die to another system.
Also hate that Gaijin allow Russian mains to spawn a Pantsir as a “free vehicle” Great work Gaijin.

We need G6-HVM to counter the Pantsir

Is this claim of 60km new ? Because i remember hearing about 40 km not 60km.
The IRIS-T SLM system, which covers the MRAD layer, is designed to counter threats with an effective range of up to 60 km and an altitude of 20 km.

Yeah, last time I saw it was 50
I think Diehl is starting to be less secretive about the capabilites now that it’s out in larger numbers, maybe.

Honestly that’s not gonna matter as long as we have the same motor and 4km IR.
IR was un-nerfed to 10km finally
Oh it was? Had about 1 month off WT and this happened.
Diehl have previously confirmed that the IRIS-T SLM missile has a maximum range of 40 km, and the launchers can be placed 20 km away from the command centre, allowing the system to engage targets which are 60 km from the command centre. That is where the 60 km figure comes from.
“un-nerfed” and “to 10 km” in one sentence :D (yeah of course it’s less of a nerf than the 4 km but still a nerf nonetheless).
AFAIK for the AA was stated that seeker-lock-on range matches the kinetic range (which is stated to be 25 km, correct me if I’m wrong here). On other sites (I think it was Diehl) it was stated that the seeker has a range 3-4 times of the one from the AIM-9M which ingame already has a massively underperforming seeker range which’s report was accepted more than two years ago. Going by that, the seeker range could be something between 38,91 km (front-aspect cruise power) and 114,84 km (rear-aspect afterburner).
My guess is, that the information about the real performance is slowly leaking through after such a long time of active usage in a war so they don’t really see the need to understate it’s performance in official publications. Or the experience in the field showed it having a higher range than expected.
And closed as “not a bug” because of the different definition of “system range” and “interceptor range”.
Eh forgive me but i find that a bit hard to beleive given that SLS and SLM share the same seeker.
Regardless. Seeker range for acquisition is upwards of 25km.
Tbh the only thing that bothers me currently about SLM is inability for a short range engagement and how slow the missile is
