Iris-t slm

Tomorrow as in tuesday or wednesday, unsure what timezone you are in

Apologies. BST here, so technically tuesday is today, though for me its tomorrow :D

Could be in a few hours, or it could be wednesday or Thursday is my guess. Within the next 54 hours? (its rare, but we have had Friday updates too)

Id be surprised if it was delayed till next week without some pretty major reason for it.

I better get grinding then I got 294k left on the flarakrad and i dont wanna be super late for the slm

Yeah. I want to bank another 1-ish mil of SLs because I may need to buy Warspite in addition to Vanguard and expert Vanguard. What I should really do though is use the RP bonus from spading Warspite to unlock Vanguard, but probably slower than using my Talismanned Hood to grind it.

The update is pretty much guaranteed to shaft Sweden regarding AA, we could have gotten BAMSE quite comfortably in place of this abysmal option we received. Also, from testing, the SLS isn’t even good at short range. Sub 4km and the missile lacks the energy to maneuver and gain the target, more than 8 and it lacks the energy to even approach hitting a target.

We didn’t even get 120C or a better gripen to make up for the rubbish AA. Which should have already been here the same time EFT and Rafale dropped.

Its better then nothing but i guess it goes for every update, we got 1 vehicle but we could’ve gotten another one that would’ve been better. But the nerfs to the new spaa’s arent helping either. I was exited when the teasers first showed the EldE 98 but then the others got revealed and I realised that it might not be the beast it may have been portrayed as.

That’s not completly true, i don’t know why, snow maps you cant get a lock in some helis if your live depends on it.

I was nearly bang on

Im currently at 180k left on the flarakrad so hopefully ill get it in time or near after the update releases

Italy does not operate MICA VL afaik

and MICA VL energy will be only slightly better than SLS, assuming they don’t introduce the NG variant

The absence of new AA for Italy, UK and France has no explanation from a pure balancing standpoint

Best possible explanation is they simply lacked time.

As for sweden, something like a NASAMS would have made more sense, instead of a SLS that genuinely does not bring anything to the table compared to ITO, other than a solid F&F at the cost of a slower missile with smaller stock

i dont know if the leaker was accurate about everything , it was leaked that we will get 5th gen by the end of this year but it clearly got denied.

the leaker has been accurate about everything, even he himself said, and i quote, “stealth aircraft update is slated for end of this year, although with this new batch of off-season leaks, chances are they are going to push it back. 🙂” low and behold they claim to this being fake and then not being planned for this year, its rather obvious he knew they would push back the update because of this and it happened

it is also the same leaker that has been leaking numerous updates with really really high accuracy

Whole lotta vehicles ingame that nobody operates. Sweden for one got the CV90 MK4 30mm base platform, even though Sweden IRL does not operate it, and they sure haven’t ordered any.

but it has been already trialed by the swedish army, and if you read what i said, the june 23’th of 2025 sweden has decided to order IRIS-T SLM based on the MAN platform, aka it was just ordered that same day

here

Probably because it’s made in Sweden, CV90120 isn’t operated by anyone either but still got added to the game
But maybe Brazil or someone else might pick it up soon

NASAMS for Finland is a possibility aswell

Kind of related, kind of not but why do they have to massacre the terrain mobility of the EldE 98, a vehicle made for the toughest terrains and then it is the vehicle at its br to not clear a trench. That is horrible Bandvagn slander

It essentially comes down to “we don’t have that game mechanic implemented”
So i’d guess 1 other nation would have to get it before it’s fixed
