Datalink with the aircraft, basically tell the Missile to head towards the HMD sight line and lock on to whatever is there. ASRAAM can do the same thing.

Other radars can paint a target which gets sent to the missile, so it launches and does a 180° and then locks on after launching.

Nah modern missiles should never be added for A2A due to how busted they are, now the SPAA variants however…

Having IRIS-T seems like fun and games, until you realize the other side is inflicting equal misery on you with the likes of ASRAAM & Python-5 lmao.

Yeah, i hope so. Wanna know if the leak list was full or not because it seems like that all US ground might be getting is an event vehicle and a… premium? It’s getting worse and worse…
Wednesday or Thursday this week, maybe.
Next thursday, my guess.

That feels really late.
Update, most likely will come in the week 16th-20th, so a teaser > dev stream > dev server right on the weekend before that feels like cutting it close.

At the very least, give NATO aircraft their HARMs. Something that means keeping your radar on makes you a bright target. Or just remove it all together and we can bring it back once everyone else has something.

We really need to escape this mental arms race against Pantsir.
People asking for HARMS to counter Pantsir, people asking for full capability Brimstones to counter pantsir… People asking for ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ to counter Pantsir.
All it’s doing is making the 9/10 countries who don’t have a Pantsir, fall even further behind in their ability to defend themselves from above.

I mean it is possible. Everything has kind of been delayed lately.
With the SR and MR, it’s hardly an issue (I mean the Derby has less range than its seeker lock on range with the SR lol). Also pretty sure that it’s can get some sort of directional guidance when it comes to using its optics, or at least a small bit of assistance in pointing the seeker. I suggest you read the Singaporean SPYDER-SR suggestion.
What really baffles me is how there hasn’t been a single dev post on the issue of the Pantsir. It is one of the most discussed vehicles on this forum, for a pretty sizeable portion of players. Sure, not everyone, but a respectable and noticeable amount. Enough to warrant something from the developers. Like they did with the Abrams armor and Igla missile issues.
So either the community managers aren’t passing such contention along or balance really isn’t all that much of a priority.

Then we agree, get rid of the Pantsir.
