fair point, but if this was taken into account in game the missile shouldn’t fire at all, no ?
I’m not too familiar with the signal sent by that antennae, but i suppose it could also go through several trees and 1 or 2 buildings before fading out.
One scenario that could be done is placing the launcher behind a building relative to the enemy : the launcher doesn’t have LOS to its target, but the radar does, and the radar vehicle also has direct LOS to the launcher, and vice versa.
if it still behaves weird, it means it’s a matter of the seeker activating too early and being confused by the building, instead of relying on DL
The only other F-5E that’d be justifiable for the US TT (aside from the F-5N) would be the Tiger IV demonstrator, and there’s not enough info on its cockpit displays or modified APG-66 as of right now. With the F-5N, there’s more than enough info on it, on top of having a rather unique place in US history. Plus, I could see the F-5N acting sort-of as a parallel to the F-5T SCU within the US TT)
At the current moment however, I feel like we won’t see the F-5N for awhile. If the US is getting the F-106 this patch, that makes two higher-tier aircraft (including the Comanche) for an update taking place after another patch where the US got three top tier aircraft. If it does get added this patch, though, then it’ll be a pleasant surprise.
They’re probably going to make it an event vehicle. No guns and only 2 missiles sounds like exactly the kind of thing they’d use for an event to let people know they can skip it.
Otherwise it’s just another F-5E, which would just be boring, no?
yeah, cross checked with 2 other things and they all say 75km (pretty sure its for A3 version). what version of Sentinel was the first brochure screenshot for?
First is named just standard Sentinel, and it is from before the second one, that is for ISentinel (the first brochure is older than the second one). It seems to be to the standard sentinel.
Potentially, though I’d rather those only come if they belong to a nation that wouldn’t fit as a sub tree or sub nation (I.E. Mexican F-5E, Tunisian F-5E, etc). I feel like American Tiger IIs (Tiger IV, F-5N, F-5F, etc) should be the primary options, with ones from other nations coming secondary.
this is quite confusing, there is 120km range from army recognition for F1 and also from kongsberg
but US govt RFI for the A4 (SAM.gov) and air defence manual (https://irp.fas.org/doddir/army/fm3_01.pdf) say 75km for the A3. maybe the US ones are lowballing the range a bit since A3 is newer than F1 and should be better afaik.
this even says A3 and F1 are same thing and talks about 120km range (and how it tripled from original 40km)
