Well there is a eyesafe mode and not eyesafe mode for the laser designator
I know what you’re doing m8 lol
Mmm yes Warcrime’nt mode and Warcrime mode
Well eyesafe is specifically for urban operations and training afaik.
So its there to avoid warcrimes
The other mode is for when you run out of bombs to drop on goat farmers
Well the US should have known that part in the last century : P

It’s also hilarious how they are hyping the derby up in the devblog. As if the Python 5 isn’t just straight up better.
All these new SPAA should be having at least a ~15-16km effective range for me to not consider them a waste of development resources.

I don’t see it, they usually do that with prototypes.
I’d also be pissde if the swiss get only copy-paste in the regular tree.
Right? Like there’s just no use case for Derby?
Python is just straight up better in the same range envelope, (which is pretty damming given even Python is botched beyond belief - barely pulling 30g).
The only use case for Derby I can think of is against the DIRCM Heli’s? But we all know Heli’s have the RCS of a fruit fly so I can’t see that going well either, not to mention if they get within 4km you can’t hit them even with a lock.
Such a baffling decision to not make it an ER. Not only from a wider perspective of balancing the vehicle against top CAS, but also just to give some incentive to actually use a Derby over the P5.

SLAMRAAM can hit high speed manuvering drone out to 20km
and given its AIM-120C-5 which somehow currently has the same ish speed as MIM-72, same with 9X which should have same range as Python 5
Spyder with SR would 100% reach 20km and ER more than 30km, Python 5 is around 10-15km
SLM would have up to 40km
some of the new missiles has less speed than mim-72 somehow

I’m fine with the ranges being somewhat reduced, but at least to still good levels.
If the sam ranges remain at this borderline useless ~8-10km effective range than it’s either deliberate CAS handholding from the devs or they have a significant misunderstanding of what the CAS problem truely is at top tier.
EDIT: hopefully we get an article after the dev closes that adresses this. Just like they did after the dev servers of some of the previous updates.

you know how that ended up right?

Yeah I know, but at least it gives me understanding of the thought process behind the decision.
I know that isn’t much, but I personally hate not knowing reasons behind a decision. I would much rather know a reasoning and disagree with it than not knowing the reasoning at all.
Hey @Deathmisser your beloved C-3604 got offically anounced now by stona.
New additions:
- C-3604 (Pack)
→ Gaijin adds a new, unique model for a subtree
→ Makes it a premium
Absolutely classic
Why did we all think Gaijin wouldn’t do this?

Not with a single vehicle of the nation.
It could happen either ways.

Tunning out, coming back for new year if I remember.
