Honestly it doesn’t matter, you’re missing the fact that it gives sweden a okay CAS platform for that BR. The F18’s are mid in ground in both CAP and CAS and the Gripen is useless for multirole so this helps fill a hole.
Also the convo was more so relating to skins of which sweden has the least amount of TT rank 8 air skins at 2, 1 for the Gripen C and 1 for the MLU 2. Isreal comes close at 3 but nearly every other nation has 5 or more
What is the conflicting information?
It seems pretty self explanatory but obviously thats from our perspective
BAE States the CV90120 can reach up to 35t in battle weight (not that all CV90120s are at 35t battle weight)
This also coincides with BAE revealing their up armoured and new CV90120 that is an optional upgrade as the entire tank is very modular
Further more from the earlier brochures you can see that the tank looks identical externally to the one in game and 7 tons more weight is hard to hide
Using all this info we can devise the weight of the CV90120 is much closer to the original figure and the figure in game is most certainly on about the 2006 added on armour (which is not present in game)
The SLM unlike the other missiles you mention has an aerodymical cap covering the seeker which comes of when the missile is close enough to the target, it makes no sense for it to come of too early thus significantly increasing the missiles drag
And the IR seeker activating later is going to make it harder to flare, so not a nerf if you ask me
For the love of god idk from where this fuels info emerged about the seeker activation and the aerodynamic cap, but just for a clarification, the cap have nothing to do with the activation of the seeker since it can immediately get jettisoned at the moment of the launch if the target is with the IIR direction range.
The updated IIR seeker of the IRIS-T should have a detection range of 25km, this means as long as the target is with this range the missile won’t need radar slaving after, lunch since the seeker will be immediately active.
But it will need DL+radar if the target is beyond that range 30km or 40km or if the target is beyond the gimbal limits of the IIR seeker and that’s in a scenario when the target is flying low neer the ground which in this case the seeker can’t see the target immediately since it’s getting lunched vertically.
The change of seeker activation to 4km is baseless, have no sources nor proofs behind it, it’s just out of imagination and baseless conclusions that have no relation to what it should be in real life.
