They are really going ham on sales this year lol
Drag is lower, but inertia is also lower (a lot). Hence, the loss in velocity in the pantsir SAM is higher than the SLM.

I can only imagine how the 57E6M will preform, it’s a kinetic hit-to-kill variant.
That Viper Zero is a pre order title is disappointing.
Yeah the state of the new SAMs is incredibly disappointing, easily the biggest let down of this update and if the rumors are true than they wont be fixed until SEAD gets added so i guess we will have to wait until December to see any real changes because i dont see SEAD coming before than.

That’s why it’s a shorter range missile.
It’s tiny with a huge booster and a small sustainer to sustain a high speed for its intended range
Why is it disappointing?

Mig-29 Sniper is available for pre-order?
People want everything for free
Not yet.
But people want everything for free though.
That chart is a little suspect, it’s missing almost half of the updates in that specific timeframe.

Thats… an over statement.
Thsts where ur wrong lol.
Smaller projectiles are affected more by drag because they have less inertia.
The sustainer, (i admit im not sure which part of the missile it is in) does not sustain a high speed for long but rather a high speed up to around 10km which is the stated irl maximum engagement height of the pantsir’s 20km ranged missiles.
10km altitude means it maintains an interception worthy energy state up to that point.
It stands to reason that after 10km either vertically or horizontally, the sustainer will have died out a while ago or the remaining projectile will be flying only on inertia and momentum.
Stupid me thought I could use ChatGPT to do such a simple task as counting, but apparently not.
The chart below (which I believe is yours) shows the release date trend to be thursday, overwhelmingly.

update isnt ready imo. Id rather have it later and have it bug free for once
War Thunder would never be updated again if bug free is what you want.

I’m unsure of what you mean by any of this.
The booster is meant to rapidly pick up speed for the missile and the sustainer is there not to speed it up in the same way as the booster,
but to make it loose speed slower.
This by design going to keep the missile at a higher speed over a short distance compared to a much larger missile with a longer sustained burn.
It’s like comparing a marathon runner with a 100M sprinter
thanky you freakysnail we all say in unison
Yes, it’s from me, but that’s for teasers.
This is for updates:
