Maps 🗺️ :
These are a lot less certain at this point and I don’t have much info. some of these could be different names for the same map too.
“central africa”
has a slum and an airport
“amaddu”
some thing about a cinema, hotel, and gas station
“varan”
“east germany”
“east valley”
“middle east” map could be one of the above

“maginot” - might just be for testing and also can refer to the Flanders map too
stalingrad, berlin, tunisia, moscow, normandy - could be testing ports from enlisted

Equipment load 🎒 :

1 primary
1 secondary
1 melee
2 “specials”
grenade - might be a special

Features ⚔️:

backblast
bipods and tactical devices (presumably flashlights and lasers)
med kits
kamikaze drones
it seems you research guns
3 ranks of guns right now
squads of soldiers
squad size can vary?

I forgot a few things:

Boat :
USS Firebolt (PC-10)

map for infantry :
“granitograd”

weapons for infantry :
pslr-1
m24 grenade

the M24 Granade fits the role of “HAND GRANADE” for example.
soo… yeah infantry its coming boyssss this is hugeeee i cant waittt i always knew it that this was true and not a joke and people called me crazy haha


Should this be happening to an SPAA? Top down attack on the aircraft.

yeah just ignore the part where it says that some of the systems are optional and show me a picture of an RAH-66 with the AN/ALQ-144

It’s mostly found on long range SAMs. Those things are almost ballistic missiles, and just like a modern ARH carried by a plane, will usually loft very aggressively

on short range SAMs it’s quite rare, but some short range missiles do loft, although far less aggressively. Illustrated here by a mistral 3 launch : https://youtu.be/ScRKwN3L0-Y?t=27

But not when target is 2km away. Also this is not against an air target, nothing would also do such a sharp turn which drains so much energy. Also how does the IR seeker keep track. I really don’t know wtf is on with this ‘20G missile’

You do get that that just means it can be demounted, the same way the F-14A should have an optional IRSTS.

The same argument could be made to request an image of the YaK-141 with the IRST blister actually mounted.

let me guess : it’s the chinese one ?

Joke aside, in the video, mistral lofts for a target that is quite literally 2 clicks away, so it’s still possible, and the further away the target is, the more interesting lofting is, so i don’t see a problem here, except for the fact that the turn looks abnormally sharp as you pointed out

The mistral was however fired at a surface target so loft could also be for tracking purpose in case something gets in the way. There is no reason a 12km missile should do that.

hopefully they expand it yeah

Mistral doesn’t really make the difference between an air and ground target, it lofts either way.

An other example at long range against a drone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXMNXvCVt08

It’s not a great loft like an AIM-120, R-77 or whatever, but it still lofts a bit

As for the reason, even on short ranges, trajectory shaping can be interesting, as long as it doesn’t make you maneuver too hard. Secondly, it helps the missile clear the ground when firing at something low (or on the surface), as you pointed out.

EDIT : it’s even more visible here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNtriQ9eoSU

wrong way around, it means it can be mounted, last time i checked the f-14a wasnt in service with an IRST

Idk but the some German helicopter suggestions were ported from the old forums (RIP) which include Bo-105 PAH-2 or BK-117 suggested. Ypu might want to check them out

I specifically question why we didn’t get PAH-2 in the first place

So when do you think we will get a Typ 93 Multi-vehicle-system :3

the L-39ZO is not unarmed tho. That variant was used by Germany and Hungary and it had rockets,bombs and R-3S

Hey man I agree it would be nice even without, Devs just dont agree sadly.

what did the devs say? i didnt catch that part of the conversation
