“Foreign Source No Can Do Lol”

I doubt it since there are so many primary sources that state 40km and i think they take priority. Even the manufacturer themselves say 40km.
Tbf they don’t work like iir missiles ingame and I think it is better like that for balancing reasons
ye, but tbf, all these just say Effective range beeing 40km, not max range

Yeah, that’s sad because they said they were listening to the community
They say 40km “effective range” this one says 40-50km “max range” iirc

i figured, i guess “effective” range and “maximum” range are the same in the eyes of the techmods correct? it would be a play with words but all primary sources only state “effective range”
No, it says that medium ranged systems should atleast have a range of 40 to 50km

It won’t because what you are angry about doesn’t effect the majority of War thunder players
It specificially talks about the SLM, and that it’s meant for ranges between 40-50km. So it’s not outlandish to assume that 50km is the max range, coupled with the BW also stating that.

"4 of those systems should be short range ( SLS 15 - 20km) and 4 medium range ( SLM 40 - 50km) "
It doesn’t explicitly state that it is those systems max range
No that isn’t it only a small part of the player base even has top tier and even less in ground
And an even smaller part of those people are on the forum.
You are a loud minority, most of the ppl don’t care about top tier because they don’t have it
This likely have to do with altitude as well. Mach 2 at 10km alt vs mach 2 at 1km alt is going to increase drag and heat generated by a fair amount at lower altitudes. The temperature of the air is also way lower at altitude. Compare 1.4km (4.7k ft) to 9.1km (30k ft) altitude in this table by NASA for example:
The density of the air is about half, the air pressure is about 1/3 and the temp goes from 5C (42 F) to -44C (-48f) , that is going to effect the heat experienced by the missile by quite a bit.
I also hope for improvements, we’ve hopefully found enough sources now and will just have to wait and see, the SLM isn’t the only thing on DEV (or live for that matter) getting reports :)

But those who have top tier all agree that Russia is overperforming. This whole update was meant to kill CAS. And what did we get? Another useless SPAAs that still will do nothing against obliterating KH-38MTs with 0 counterplays

DEV isn’t final, never has been. There are several accepted sources on different things and plenty of time for them to change things before the update is released.
