Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

I linked it to the internal one, no worries.

i mean the last one is quite a while ago, things might have changed and the holidays ended since then

They were, I’ll fix it shortly.

Videos statements / claims alone are not accepted forms of sources by themselves. The brochure sadly is not specific. So those alone wont be sufficient.

The reports themselves would typically be directly updated and answered if there was news to share.

the leopard 2 DM rework does not have a report where we would see the progress

If there was something to announce regarding any DM rework, we would share that.

Simply because one of the promotional documents doesn’t specify F-15A / -B / -C / -D / -E, but instead go “F-15” it doesn’t count?

Are two supporting Secondary sources, somehow not sufficient proof anymore?

Sadly yes. Something for example can state “Tornado” on a source and be referring to GR.1 / GR.4 and not F.3. The sources are currently not sufficient as I have explained. Further material should be gathered to confirm the information, then it can be submitted for reconsideration.

So we here do have a lord of time himself then xD

Thanks for the update!

And what of the reduced signature which is already a functionality in-game?

ASRAAM was the programme initiated in response to the R-73. The reason the US gave for pulling out was that the ASRAAM programme was behind schedule.

So they pulled out, to develop a missile with inferior performance, that entered service later than ASRAAM… Good job America!

The real reason America pulled out was likely political / lobbying pressure to develop an American missile instead of buying a foreign one, with the delay just being a convenient excuse.

Thanks for the information.

with 30% of joke, I thought ASRAAM came out directly from SRAAM :/
lacks of knowledge I guess :(

Unfortunately, bug reports remaining unaddressed for such long periods of time eventually leads to palpable frustration among players, specially those who spent time and effort making these; this eventually leads people to end up expressing these frustrations and bringing out these bug reports in vain attempts at drawing attention to them in hopes that they may be fixed at last.

That is why, as long as bugs may remain unfixed for months and even years, it is pretty much inevitable that someone may end up bring them up even on this topic.

Nah, SRAAM was a way earlier project.

ASRAAM was the IR counterpart to AMRAAM, the US were to design a replacement for the AIM-7 and the UK and Germany were to design a replacement for the AIM-9 which both nations were meant to put into service, but of course the US pulled out of ASRAAM largely due to lobbying from the US defense sector and immediately issued a contract competition for a new IR missile, Hughes won and then got bought out by the loser Raytheon and we ended up with the AIM-9X

Germany pulled out likely for financial reasons as well which left Britain solely in charge, the Germans used their experience from working on the ASRAAM program to make the IRIS-T, which uses the same seeker as the ASRAAM and 9X however the missile body was designed to fit better with Germany’s aims for the missile, which was shorter ranged and a hell of a lot more maneuverable

Not really, no doubt the experience gained on SRAAM helped with ASRAAM (they are kind of the same shape aerodynamically), but technologically they share nothing in common.

An occasional bring up its fine, however when simply responding to one question starts a spiral of several different directions worth of reports, it becomes outside of this subject matter.

Sending a PM is more than sufficient to gain attention to a report, should there be anything possible to do with it.

ASRAAM on the tornado or even the jaguar would be so damn funny

IRIS-T uses a different seeker to ASRAAM and AIM-9X
