MANPADS Missiles and Overload: The Technical Details

As someone has already pointed out. Why are russian sources suddenly applicable for western technology and why are they regarded as more trustworthy than western sources?

so you disregard sources because “huh duh USSR couldnt” what a joke, no wonder the abrams got the shaft

Gaijin: Russian sources cannot be used as a source to balance/influence western technology, as stated by Gaijin in the Abrams Armor dev blog.

Also Gaijin: Russian sources show that the Igla missile have the same control surface size as western technology therefore western missile cannot pull harder than the Igla.

My brother in Christ, the double standards.

they are straight up just pull crap out of there behind now, 2 blogs with a few days between them flat out contradict there OWN statements about sources :D but yh lets assume because Igla’s cannot therefor the Mistral 1s cannot perform, all because “they look similar on control surfaces” thats flat out making stuff up now, they have ZERO SOURCE proving this stuff.

Gaijin when Abrams: We need official documents with exact values and we will not assume anything.

Gaijin when Stinger/Mistral: Offical documents are flawed and we will make chanes based on assumption.

So What happen to not using Russian sources for western tech. it’s convenient atm so now its ok?

true that is super hypocritical, they didn’t build the thing they have no idea how any of the control software works, and their Russian sources sure won’t either.

More retarded reasoning. Same with the german leopard armor. Using the base Igla for modelling everything is just dumb

Bro please … the soviets manpads are bad therefore we don’t believe the western ones are good and thus we have chosen to ignore the available sources .

I mean why do we even bother complaining anymore .

what a joke. Remember “we will no longer take Russian sources for nato vehicles”?

Gaijin stop using Russian sources on western tech they aren’t reliable for changes, just like you said in the the bug reports, Russian sources isn’t reliable to bug reports and changes, use western manufactured sources that is widely available. Never ever Use Russian ones ones.

All sources are reliable when it comes to nerfing something. You can even use FAKE sources, evident by the m735 bullshit

So the standard for what sources will be followed or won’t be followed is entirely down to what Gaijin believes? Not what the sources say?

This is a joke.

So… did the engineer at snail HQ ever decide to actually take a look at the difference between SA-14 and other rolling airframe SAMs?

You know, the little things, like how SA-14 rolls slowly (~10 RPM) and uses Bang-Bang control method that wastes energy overcorrecting? While all these other missiles roll multiple times faster and don’t waste energy on overdeflecting the control surfaces?

PID control is not only faster and more precise, but it can also change the flight vector without waiting for the exact moment to fully deflect the canards during the roll.

We’ve even got multiple primary sources proving that these NATO rolling airframe missiles are pulling the numbers stated in docs as their averages, not their peak.

Just hold the L on SA-14 early variant being bad and let these better missiles perform as realistically advertised. BR system will be the balance if the ~3 choppers equipped with SA-14 start getting bullied.
