MANPADS Missiles and Overload: The Technical Details

On my end its automated, I don’t have any involvement, I just keep getting notifications of the post being opened and closed.

Yeah well I’ve had it on another thread and apparently the Mods can’t really do much.

That was near enough verbatim what I was told.

Just your monthly reminder the devs dropped this pile on us and not once did they ever attempt to defend their position or reconsider it in 6 months… so sad…

Ah don’t worry, they put the TAN SAM, Japan’s only reliable anti-air, at 11.3 so that it can support the Pantsir.

It will do a lot of good there, I’m sure.

Oh and uh

How can anyone see excrement like this and think “ummm yeah working as intended”

Technical moderators, balancing team? Hello?

Oh wait, maybe this is exactly intended. People who don’t play USSR are 2nd class citizens who don’t deserve even a crumb of SPAA no matter how much they beg for it.

Took a few months break from the game. Glad to see instead of fixing the nato manpads they buffed the soviet one even more.

Just because Russian MANPADS are garbage, doesn’t mean everyone else’s has to be as well. You know, instead of nerfing everyone else equipment, it would’ve made more sense to just buff the Russian equipment.

Do those Igla’s come out from the tubes at 30 degree angle or are the tubes more slanted than they look?

They come out straight but perform a kick(English Bias) maneuver upon leaving the tube before the main motor fires.

Their steering isn’t disabled for 2.5 years after launch unlike the stingers.

They claim that before the rocket motor fires, there is a gas generator (likely to spin up gyroscopes internally) that is used to push the missile and give it better lead and super elevation.

Essentially, it’s like uncaging the seeker on a Stinger or Mistral and pre-leading it, but done automatically by the missile after launch, instead of before. As far as I know, this gas generator thrust is somewhat limited in helping lead the missile compared to manually pointing the launcher ahead of the intended target like when using a Stinger.

Seems weird to have the Igla automatically get ideal lead after launch in game while any other MANPADS in game currently lack lead indications and are launched essentially by guesswork.
