Are there any plans to add the NASAMS HML for Sweden, as the earlier, cancelled, version is going to be added to the American tech tree with the next update?

There hasn’t been any mentions of it so far, seems unlikely unless they are planning to add 2 top SPAAs to sweden as the same time and the model simply isn’t ready yet
Norway hasn’t been introduced to Sweden as a sub-tree or anything yet, so for now they’ll most likely stay as premiums until some other major update

Idk performance wise the EdlE isnt worth the grind its too short range to be useful and even intercepting munitions is horrible as any SU-34 will get ine KH-38MT on you before you reload, you lack the ammo and range. Its a better sidegrade to the type 81 whoch should be a much lower BR.
Most likely next update as the AIM-9X Block II will be a bit overwhelming when paired with the AIM-120C-5
While it’s range isn’t great, it is basically a guaranteed kill within 5km.
I do agree about the part regarding ammo though, it is in a really bad state. One ammo box will not be enough
Given i can take a 9.3 Ayit and kill an EldE without him being able to do anything its a worthless addition imo. The Ito while having wobble missiles at 9km is still a better option especially given ammo. 8 missiles just isnt enough and the EldE just isnt fast enough to get to objectives rearm and slink away. Its a poor excuse for a vehicle that other options could’ve been added. Why would anyone be dumb enough to fly within 5km is beyond me, sure we do see some people do it but now answer this, whtas the Eldenhet’s purpose when 90% of the spaa that already exist and are being added will take every kill from you.
Are you going to tell me its a good vehicle or that ill be able to spade it like every other vehicle? No it is just type 81 part 2 but even worse since its starting BR is top tier.
Btw i dont mean to sound hostile, but gaijins backwards game logic is simply too silly lol
It is a Type 81 with smoke grenades, a search radar, no seeker range limitation and a 5km guaranteed kill radius that can also kill enemies up to 10km away
And also no minimum range limitation
Eh, from what ive seen you’ll be lucky to hit 8km as the higher up they are the more fuel it seems to use or maybe its just loss of energy. Again if anyone spawns spaa you immediately become useless. It just not effective and has been powercrept before it was even added BAMSE is the only real option aside from Nomads, or SLAMRAAM/ NASAM HML
It may just be me but id rather usefull additions or none at all. Adding DOA vehicles simply blocks players from getting useful equipment for their lineups or is a way for gaijin to artificially say they added an equivalent vehicle for a nation only to leave them without effective equipment for years on end.
NOMAD would be equivalent to the SLS. Would be cool to see the Bamse, either with the Giraffe or the PS-90
Thought Nomad had access to SLM my bad then
Problem with BAMSE is explosive mass is about 500g so in terms of warthunder ita useless lol. At least it could hit targets though
Yeah, would be similar to the intercept mode of the TOR i think. With the situational awareness of the enemy its probably easy to just scissor the missile
Tbf via Norway sweden should get both SLAMRAAM and HML since Norway was the lead developer in both since the US pulled out pretty early on. Id rather just see an actual useful SPAA so even just SLAMRAAM would be better than EldE lol. Unfortunately i think gaijin decided to add the EldE so they can ignore adding a useful vehicle because technically they already added one

Finland operates the ITO 12 (NASAMS II FIN) as well.
It’s an extremely poor decision to only give a couple of nations these new medium range systems while leaving other nations behind.
Sweden should be getting the BAMSE (or ITO 12 (NASAMS II FIN), if it can be fired from the trucks, that is)
China should be getting the HQ-16
Japan should be getting the Chu-SAM
Britain should be getting the Land Ceptor/Sky Sabre
France should be getting the MICA VL
Italy should be getting their variant of the Sky Sabre or the Skyguard Aspide
USSR should be getting the Buk (or whatever they used that is similar to the Slams performance)
I dont think the NASAMS 2 can be fired from the bed of the truck though.

doesnt the launcher it self have to be fully deployed of the truck on the ITO 12?
@NOR_Tissetassen
Does it? I don’t know enough about it, I guess.
But hey, I guess BAMSE is still an option
i think its like that, i could only find pictures of it being deployed on the ground alone not on the truck bed
To be honest tough, I feel like having the NASAMS launchers be stationary could be fine. They could just give the radar unit a third launcher to deploy as a trade-off
