Not quite. IR was the original one Radar was added later, the whole existence of Roland 2 (missile) was to add transponder, in order for radar tracking to work… And optical tracking was still used during good weather or in heavy ECM situations.

if u mean roland 1 system
yes
but for all others, radar was the main method. it was radio command guided
It was always command guided.
i meant to say that the command guidance was automatically calculated by a computer
Always was. Only difference is the meduim. IR missile localizer + search radar, or Tracking radar (+ search radar)

btw, Roland 1/2 systems only have generation 1 IRT which doesnt give any ranging information. is this correct?
otherwise how would a computer calculate optimal interception course based only on a single vector and a relative direction
They only have a IR flare localizer, that does not provide any video feed, only calculates spread and intensity of IR flares (2 of them at the back of the missile) to calculate the distance of the missile.
what about range to target?
Search radar. Probably some optic feed too, but mainly search radar.

i assumed that feature was tracking radar exclusive but nice to know
Many spaa can track targets using their search radar. Some are better at it, some worse. You get nearly identical data (MSA search radar mostly struggle with altitude of the target) as with track radar, but it is limited by the amount of times radar goes over the target (RPM)

Yes, a bad BR means the vehicle under performs, but it does not mean that the BR of the vehicle is wrong, should we just lower all 13.0 vehicles to 12.7 until top tier goes to 14.3, do we then do the same to 13.3?
As I said the issue is with the matchmaker not the BR of the vehicle, the solution is BR decompression, not pushing the issue down onto lower BRs

The Italian Lynxes most likely will get Italian unmanned turrets.
as it is the case for Kfir C10 ;)
you fancy reading the rest or are you just going to cherry pick, as I already stated the vehicle is at the correct BR, the matchmaker is just compressed, that means it suffers where it is, but other vehicles suffer more if you move it down.
It is already one of the better 13.0 vehicles, it would be far and away the best 12.7 vehicle, your issue is that you’re comparing it to 14.0 vehicles and that isn’t how BR placement does or should work
Because do you know what else suffers, every 13.0 vehicle, it’s a defining characteristic of the BR right now

i did read it, just ignore it bc i dont take any argument from guy thats talking out of his ass about something he clearly doesnt play and therefor has no clue how it plays out.
and talking about compression and decompression has been one of the biggest point for the ARB community and yet nothing happend. so its useless to mention it
brother what?
F14A with more and better fox1 and 3s
F16A with a far better Flight model and usefull Fox1 and the same Fox2s (9L and P3 are the same seeker wise)
or mig29s with a better Flight model and the best fox1
Yk what the only thing is c10 would had over those?
at max 4 of the worst Fox3s in the game, congrats dude
so please stop talking out your ass about something you have no clue about
You claim Phoenixes to be better than Derbys, but you accuse us of “talking out of our asses” lmao

bc unlike derbys they hit targets beyond 20km :)
derbys neither have goo drange nor do they have good close range pull while being a 40g missile, dotn get me wrong derbys ofc can work and hit stuff at 10km but thats just not happen often at the br it sits
Bro what
Tho, why are derbys are bad at ranges? is that because of their autopilot or drag?
