What a surprise, how unpredictable of them. I remember telling my friend how they will skip the last checkmarks and hope they get forgotten in time. Looks like we are half way there.

Well it’s only fair the moved the Stella to 10.0 something had to take it’s place.
I have no issue with a vehicle taking its place what i have issue with is a 10g missile being given a stealth buff by allowing it to orientate itself after launch to perform better at closer ranges… Meanwhile the stinger now a 16g missile of essentially the same design gets no such luxury.

What’s sad is their is nothing we can do, they themselves said that the source we provided say the stinger pull more g’s but it’s impossible for another nations missile to out pull a Russian missile in their eyes.

maybe it did, but not very significant, it only do this at the moment after firing. I was told about this about 3 months ago, close to the video’s post time, and tried by myself, I promise it’s true.
Maybe need another video that longer ago will proof it, but I can’t find one, few people use it.
It’s a new feature in alpha strike. They talked about it on dev stream. It’s either page 38 or 43 if you’re wondering where they suddenly got that from.
It exist no later than Update “Air Superiority”. Not new, and possibly longer before.
That I do remember, but did other missiles get this?
I don’t know why they do so. But I was told about this feature months ago, and tested it myself, we need to find someone who uses a lot 9m39 to know when was this feature added, or videos.
From what I know, no. In last update too.
Tried it with stingers and they don’t have that

For that, the rest of the missiles need to have such a feature in their documents. Probably the Chinese HN-6 should get it too as 9m39 brother. Unfortunately, Western manpads are much more classified and we know much less about them. Better for IRL, worse for war thunder.

It’s fine, except has no proximity fuse, but still that “info request” or “not a bug” problem.
9М39 — altitude control engine and autopilot has been added.

Imagine my shock that they ahistorically buff the Igla again while leaving every other MANPADS in the dust.
No the Igla has no such capability IRL, its painfully obvious in every single video of the missile being deployed that this is the case. It is lead tracking all the way from launch, it has no pre-launch angle guidance like this at all.
Meanwhile the all the actually superior MANPADS still handle like they are redeyes.
The implementation of MANPADS is a joke at this point.

I honestly have no issue with it having this stealth buff, my issue is the stingers are not treated the same way, this update (stupidly) allowed cas players to control their ordinance from 3rd person view making them even more effective against spaa players… Meanwhile most player controlled SAMs need to be fired in 1st person view otherwise your inputs are ignored if you try to free aim in 3rd person. These a historical changes should mean the stingers should be treated in the same manner otherwise yet again its another disadvantage to nato spaa. What’s Russia got now 5/6 su25 options and also a packed spaa line up? They’re covered in all aspects.
