MANPADS Missiles and Overload: The Technical Details

Also I finally found a picture of this on a 9M39

That ‘port’ is 1 of 2 in which exhaust from a small combustion chamber/turbine is routed through, which gives the missile its capability to turn to engage a target at 0 speed.

That’s hilarious. It’s like the launcher is automatically traversing to provide the perfect lead

Iglas turning right after launch isnt new to alpha strike, its been like that for a while, at least a few months before the update, if not more

Oh I’ve already tossed it into the wayback, so if gaijin wants to remove it they cant, heck, I’ll re-archive it just for posterity again.

It was classified as a SPAAG way back in the day. However, people would bring it and use it as a TD (quite effectively since it was before a lot of ERA vehicles). So Gaijin’s solution was to classify it as a TD, the only SPAAG to do so even though other SPAAG are in the same scenario (like the Leo 40/70, or the LVKV-40, or the L-62 Anti, or the CCKW 40mm, or the M19, or M42, or the ZSU-37, etc. etc. etc.)

Amazing.

Whomever it is really takes offense to the archiving of the thread, they keep mass reporting the posts even after staff open them back up.

Have you considered asking the staff what measures are being taken to account for wasting their time?

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.
