Current data of SLM (with Launcher 2)
Red dot = current max of Launcher 1
Good luck trying to hit anything at 40km (you wont, the missile will stall…
Even 30km, good luck, even an A-10 would Outrun it…

Realistically, its probably not even hitting a maneuvering jet beyond ~10-15km with those speeds

It is not, tested it, as soon as the missile’s booster runs out you can outmaneuver it

has Gaijin acknowledged that its maxing out short of mach 3?

They’ve probably decided that M3.0 is another case of a “clear marketing lie”, and that the 40km max range is the range of a M2.0+ target coming directly at the SLM battery when fired

But that would make the SLM useless, as we see now it can’t pull 60 Gs. The SLS would be superior in WT, and if you read from dataleaks, Mach 3 is mentioned in files, but the end speed is capped at 700 m/s (Mach 2). I hope they make it as it should be and not another FIM-92K launcher, which is not that good.

But the current situation is that the speed of missile 10 gradually slows down and drops below Mach 1 at around 11km, and if you shoot down an aircraft at 15km, the other party must be flying directly towards you or a less maneuverable aircraft
As you tested, the speed and power range of the SLM have serious issues. The SLM cannot effectively strike fast-moving targets 11km away because your experiment was a hovering target. When Rafale or typhoon moves rapidly, the missile energy will drop to Mach 1 at 11km
Changes to IRIS-T SLM in 2.46.0.21 from Datamine;
Radar:
- max range: 120km → 250km
- Scope Range Sets;
- Scope 4: 10km → 250km
- Scope 5 (new): 10km
- Distance limit: 30km → 250km (@Dontkev-psn)

we are currently trying to do the Mach 3 report, stacking all Sources we have so far

Looking forward to it !
The speed of the Missile and Radar reliability are currently my biggest concerns.

To be fair, we all dont have much hope when seeing the (Sources)

Well they better accept it, cuz currently for single target engagement i might go as far as saying flarakrad might be a better choice at this moment when it comes to range and speed.
The only bigger benefit is the ability to engage multiple targets and intercept munitions at the same time. I was really hoping for something to engage at distances equal to pantsir at least so jets would have to take a different approach on after they spawn.

Whats scope 5 for (and scope 4 now that I think about it)?
range sizes. You had 20-50-100-10 (1,2,3,4), now it is 20-50-100-250-10 (1,2,3,4,5)

From what ive seen thrown around, it seems to be underperforming current in-game SAM’s in speed at range, so it wouldnt really fill the whole “fix CAS being OP” problem the devs pretend they’re trying to fix with these, so Im a little hopeful they’ll buff it, but I doubt they’ll buff it anywhere near what the sources suggest it should be capable of doing, such as 30km+ interceptions of actively defending targets.

For all intent and purposes it does its job in game, most maps are not big enough to take full advantage of the range but the speed and maneuverability past 12km is concerning, which makes Pantsir still the best at range. It should be Mach 3 for most of its flight time, 700 m/s is abysmal for a top tier system.
