It very much can, the delta V in game already allows for such speeds (maybe a little less if it has to turn hard)
Main issue is its drag, which is also responsible for the missile lacking about 30km of range when air launched from up high and fast
As it’s an older missile, it doesn’t burn as long as an IRIS-T SLM, therefore it can’t go as far. the NG variant will tackle that issue by filling the space gained by the use of smaller electronics with additional propellant
Hmmm… Scaling by 1.33 seems to have done the trick perhaps, which corresponds to -25% to thrust and drag performance compared to “real” performance. Max speed of 3652 kph is reached (~1014 m/s) and 30km travel distance in 54.4s, just under a minute. Lines up suprisingly well. Do we have more datapoints perhaps?
Nothing that I know of. Only 60 seconds to hit a target at 30 km distance at an unknown height while reaching around Mach 3. As far as the definition of “effective range” goes it should have enough energy remaining to hit and destroy a target at 40 km (most likely at the lowest possible altitude), no mention if stationary or actively maneuvering. Somebody mentioned 12 seconds total burn time according to a video from the “not allowed to mention” place.
Is the fake kinematics of the R27er in the room with us? Last time I checked, it’s underperforming (100m/s) delta v at altitude, fine at medium altitudes and over performing at low altitude like all missiles, as gaijin optimized missiles for a medium altitude, .9 Mach launch against another target going at .9 mach
i hate when i saw a su34 launching away from 15km and that i cant lock until they get to 11km and that my MIM-146 is useless
i had a match where THREE FRICKIN SU30/34 DOING THE SAME THING
THE SAME
THING
TOGETHER
launch 6 38mt
KILLS EVERYONE
and i just sit there behind cover, hopeless
the kill feed was
“38mt killed ur whole team, womp womp”
half of my team left immediately
the game is cooked
imagine getting lobby like that, do u wanna play anymore?
nah it was like
plentyful level 100 or so, some even had planes up but died to pantzir
we were winning
until that happen
it was full up tier
i just sit there because i died to them and i have to wait until strike
This is where the problem lies. The current top tier environment is so bad that even if I first noticed my opponent taking off the Su-30/34, kept a close eye on them, and informed my teammates through chat that the KH38 had been launched, it still wouldn’t help with the situation. They only need to repeatedly tap the blank space to easily kill anyone in the center of their crosshair. I have to sit in the cockpit of EF2000 and set up camp at Sukhoi’s respawn point every time I use L2A7V to kill two MBTs
there is no solution if ur team dont have CAP
literally i had a RU vs RU match and the sky and ground duel was insane
“just spawn cap” ok so whats the point of spaa then, for decoration? @MotorolaCRO
You have no way to avoid this situation, you will never know whether your teammate is a rookie with only one premium vehicle or a qualified veteran with a complete vehicle fleet
As I mentioned, the upcoming top-level air defense system may not have the same significant effect as the Panstir launched two years ago (i.e. completely crushing the top tier sub top win rate in the United States through discounts with Click Bait and the releaseing of panstir). On the contrary, Gaijin is just making their model and seems to be quite indifferent to their performance
All I can do is to keep repeating ‘KH38 coming, smoke release’ in the chat box, but from my experience, this has little effect on teammates avoiding KH38 or other guided weapons
