It depends on if you mean the maximum range or the maximum effective range?
Because the new Type 81 (not too sure about this one)
, Slamraam and Spyder are pretty much useless after 8-10km. So that should still be managable with some laser guided weapons.
In principle, those infrared guided anti-ship missiles, such as the one appearing on the Japanese F2 or the YJ83KH, should also be able to lock onto ground moving targets at closer distances, right? I heard that for example, the AIM9X air-to-air missile has tested attacking vehicles and speedboats, and there is no essential difference between the mechanical infrared signals and the infrared guidance
the issue is any shot past that with the brimstone takes almost 40 seconds to land and are pretty inaccurate for the pop down then back up strat, the most reliable strat is still to fly in close but with these new SPAA its gonna be near impossible to do as trying to dodge one will just result in being hit by a second one from a different angle
so in reality all this has really done is counter the main CAS of Italy, the UK and Germany which only one of those nations actually got an SPAA this update
Eh by the time the the missiles reach 10km the Derby-SR is already way below mach 1 and the AIM-120C-7 is just at mach 1.2. You have a permanent warning of these missiles as soon as they are fired and have about 20 seconds to get into a notch. It takes more skill to actually die to these missiles than it takes to dodge them at 10km.
Only scary ones are the SLM and maybe FB10A (haven’t seen them tested yet), mostly because they are IR guided.
Great, most of the new aa is barely able to counter current top tier cas, and gaijin already giving more buff for cas?? come on, are gaijin that allergic to ground player enjoying their ground vehicle
again which would be fine if brimstones werent super unreliable at 10km or well anything past 7km, it just seems like they are making it harder and harder for the EFTs to do what the F-15E, Refale and Su-30SM can do with just a couple of button presses
Well, it would be weirder if you did.
Has to be the most WT thing imaginable. Add a cool new thing to the dev server but have it not being usable for the entire 2 dev servers due to a bug.
UPDATE SOON, the pack just appeared
Edit:
the KMS Gneisenau is now also in the PS Store
Edit 2:
All Packs except the Comanche arrived on PS Store
Goodness, these packs were there for weeks now. Gneisenau was the first pre-order
LIE, the PS Store as any other Console store which gaijin uses has no Pre-Order for WT… all these packs just appeared like 5 minutes ago…
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Will Eurofighter get Sniper Targeting Pod too?
well, maybe some people should start using there brain before they post false stuff…
As an Xbox user myself, can confirm. No WT pre-orders for us.
Typhoon going to get anything?
SAL Brimstone 1s are not adequate for 12.0 let alone 13.0
At a bare minimum we need SAL Brimstone 2s but ideally also GPS+SAL Spear 3s as we have 0 form of standoff weapon.
Also. As the Soviets have the Paper KH-38MT. The Typhoon missile should also be added
keep buffing Rafale instead
@gromvoiny I Assume you are aware that the Main Pic for the Swiss F/A-18C Pack is a bit wrong in the PS store?
Not really, they usually only show up on release day for console
I assume today was supposed to be the day and things happened.
I mean it seems like pretty standard policy for when a new batch of vehicles gets added together.
Make only 1 of the new vehicles (SLM) actually good and make the others mid at best or just straight up mediocre.
