Well not new IR systems. So much the same. Also I don’t see how this differs from chucking ordinary rockets barring they aren’t as accurate. However since they are random kills this wouldn’t matter as much.
I don’t really get how to control this whole thing in third person. All my hotkeys for radar lock etc won’t work anymore. It seems with default radar mode you just see one target locked at a time. Are there more modes? How to track more targets simultaneously. Is it possible to just aim third person, press your radar lock button at the desired target and launch? How?
How to defend vs. ground units? Shouldn’t it be possible to spawn something to shot back vs. ground enemies? The radar truck as well as the missile launch units are completly defenseless.
The SLM has no optical device. Neither in 3rd nor with this new radar screen: You don’t see the enemy. Thats bad for a computer game, shoting green brackets is lame and boring and not exactly visually appalling. Its like playing pacman from the 1980ties.
When you see Diehl footage from Iris SLM, it seems some of the screens inside the control truck show thermal signatures/images of the target objects. How about to add this.
I just hope it’ll sort out. So far I can’t imagine to effectively play these two trucks in highly dynamic Ground RB, with enemy tanks zooming around with 70 km/h, while you hug the radar control screen not seeing whats going on around you.

neither the radar nor the LNs have thermal imaging so idk what you mean by this
I mean: Its a computer game and all you see are green brackets. Are I supposed to play a game from the 80ties? Where’s the action?
Sometimes I just don’t get you all, its like talking to a wall.
u have the flarakrad if u want more action.
Yub.
Just statcard, thats the range were youre Radar works, you can also set it manually to 250km
Happy 405 error

Well, any way to actually play the game? With shiny graphics, explosions, crashing jets and nice vehicle models? Cause its 2025 and why should I play a game with flat 2D radar screen with some green brackts on it? Playting War Thunder shouldn’t be like doing some Excel tab work^^
So I’ve been testing the SLM on the live server and it looks like it has damage issues. My missile flew past an f5e and the missile detonated like 3 meters from it but it did no damage.
Edi: I’ve done like 3 matches and these small maps are atrocious for the SLM

The explosion Issue with no damage is known, it effects pretty much EVERY Missile in the game
According to our datamine it is an Server Issue since you can see the Explosion of the Missiles

how s the general radar/missile performance compared to the last Dev. server ?(except the proxy bug)
identical
Oh I though that was for air to air missiles only. Oh well.
wh is the missile flying first normal and then it lifts to ther orbit no matter the Altitude of the enemy
I didn’t play the dev but the radar works ok unless there’s something really close. I wish we could tell when the missile switches to IR guidance it would be very handy to know so we could turn the radar off after a launch.

You can see when the missile is using DL and when its tracking
I just had this in a EF. Shot 3 Amraams and they seemed to fly through the target.
From what Ive gathered, the missle is in DL when theres a circle around it, and when theres a line to the target it switched to IR. Its always on DL on launch, but switches quickly to IR if close enough.
