Yup…
Yes. But not thermal imaging ones. Means its hard to get a lock with Stingers etc. But Tiger UHT never had an issue to get a lock with Pars 3LR.
I’m currently grinding the german SPAA line while waiting for the update and when trying to use the strela against helicopters I barely even get a lock and once I fire they just duck behind a hill doge it and then pop up to kill me.
Use the OSA or Flarakpz1. Its much better. Manual guidance is the bane of all helis.
Its the directional IR signature thing they;ve been adding (and I think testing) on helis. But Heat sigs in game are woefully modeled, (well they arent modeled, its all done using the thrust output of the engines and not any other heat signature modeling) but hopefully the helis are the test bed for better IR signature modeling for everything. That being said… yeah… fighting helis sucks unless you have the right kit.
I take Brimstones on teh Typhoon only for killing helis. For tanks I use PW4s
Do you think the updae is coming out this week?
Id guess Tomorrow up to maybe Thursday. I cant see any major reason why they would delay any longer than that
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.
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
