At the same BR 💀
We’re likeminded on this, safe to say. So let’s get back to rumour territory:
I hope Sweden gets a cool new CV90 that’s modelled properly :-)
CV90 MK.IV coming in with a worse gun and armor than the KF41 lol

That is the new IR (i think SAM only) missile chirp
yeah all Ground-based Pure-IR missiles get this chirp (not sure abt IRIS-T as it is IR + DL (?))
Honestly freccia is imo the best spike launcher, 10 missiles fast fire rate which makes breaking parts better. Its hard not to like it, id go as far as to say on some maps its the most lethal IFV
It takes 4-6 CAMM-ER to knock down a semi-stationery helicopter at top tier as if there was an invisible FORCE sphere, and the one that does hit was probably malfunctioning and following IOG.
Yeah Elde has 4 missiles then another 4 in the box and then its out, has the shortest range missiles can’t go up any hills…id probably take Skysabre lol
That would be lack of DL. Buggy guidance and the terrible nature of how heli radar signatures are modeled at the moment
Honestly kind of impressed they are modelling that detail. Thought it would have to be reported.
Stationary heli
no doppler return from the blades and hub, so the radar switches to pulse, and then it gets chaffed by the auto deployed chaff.
Or just goes haywire.
Also remeber that now Sky Sabre needs to have the target locked with launcher optics in order to provide DL, if you do not do that, the missile is IOG only.

I’d spawn a Typhoon but they’re also untouchable to AIM-120 most of the time.
Yeah. Drives me nuts helis cant be targeted by airbourne radars.
Too many times i’ve wanted to engage one with a Skyflash and couldnt even get my radar to lock on with ACM.
The lack of PD signature from the rotor blades is dumb

So the whole radar panel thing is a gimmick and doesn’t do anything, and the launcher vehicles providing DL can’t operate on their own?
Yeah I’m going back to 8.3, at least SPAAs find some use there.
Actually no, but I just didn’t picture 3 at once.
Especially the questionable chinese one.
SLM does not have the chirp (i just checked)
You have to, in order:
Find a target using the radar, and keep it in radar fov.
Switch to launcher
Lock the target using optics, and stay in the launcher so the lock does not break
Launch the missile.
If the radar loses the target, you wont be able to fire, and there wont be no datalink.
Yup, and I don’t even think Freccia is OP. It’s simply good, and other spike IFVs are just extremely sad.
You wanna trade then?

Why trade, if you can have both?

In other words, you need to keep helicopters in sight (but they just land) only to use ARH SPAAs like a SACLOS.
Perfect.
