Major Update 'Alpha Strike" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Sounds interesting though with as big new as a new nation for any war thunder game.
I would think they may add our sub trees as there nations first who knows.

As I think they would want the main game to announce it first for the 11th nation

Not a reason to insult

No, cause doing that is against the forum rules.

Just a quick comparison chart I’ve made:

mate am sorry but i need to correct you the I-Derby ER have a dual pulse rocket motor and actually pulls 40Gs because of the less surface controls to make the missile a lot less draggy.

Dual pulse rocket motor is still a conventional motor design is it not? Compared to some of the other designs.

Source?

130km???

Last time i checked, MICA NG EM programm was deemed to push about 20km the current range, not 50km ^^"

source HAHAHA the RAFAEL COMPANY IN PERSON SAYS THAT lmao

Only in VL which is vertical launch. The MICAs are 20km in vertical launch while MICA NGs are 40km in vertical launch. Double the range while launched from ground. In the air, MICA EM went from 80km to 130km, about a 66% range increase.

So in vertical launch, MICA NG has a 100% increase in range. In the air, 66% increase in range.

I’m not doubting your claim, I’m just asking for a source to present it to someone who had assured me it was 50G.

I must be blind because I don’t see anything about 40G in that article.

Yso VL MICA which are limited due to be fired from 0m/s velocity now reach 80km range?

The current range of MICA-EM is 80km from an aircraft(MICA-IR 60km)

The NG program is to add about 20km (to push the range), of both AIR MICA-EM and MICA-IR

So VL-MICA will benefit from it, but it’s actual official range is about 20km of interception range(VL MICA MBDA DATASHEET).

So,… even with a VL MICA NG, the range would not be extended to 4 times the current for VL variant.

However, for air variants, the objectives are:
MICA NG EM : 80km → 100km
MICA NG IR : 60km → 80km

Can i then asked where you did see that 130km?

Not true. They add 20km to VL MICA for 40km

@Patriotic_FR has the source, I can’t share it without his permission. But here’s what it is:

MICA NG EM (surface launched): 20km → 40km

MICA NG EM (air): 80km → 130km

Sources are prepared ahead of time for MICA NGs to be properly modeled.

MICA NG IR will be 60km → 100km

We just start (we don’t even started) to get fox3, no need to talk that soon about the last modern variants of those xD
