the only thing less then 40km is 12km with the SLS and the SLM cant use that missile
I think you’ve misunderstood my question or I’ve asked it poorly with my use of the word minimum.
What I’m saying is, if the guy I replied to felt 40km is too long, I’m asking if there is another, shorter range missile it could get instead ?
(Sort of like how a Spyder could be limited to Python if it were felt Derby’s had too much range).
Is this German system even like that where it has multiple options? Or is just a one missile system?
SLM is alot bigger than the standart IRIS-T
and when looking at the size 40km seem not too far fetched
I always wondered if SLM also uses Thrust Vectoring, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
they have tied 2nd or 3rd best SPAA in the game, also both the UK and Italy are in a worse state for SPAA then germany, there is no logical choice that the SLM was added before CAMM, CAMM could go to 2 nations SLM is only for germany and only has a 40km missile
it is still a TVC missile, the name means:
Infra Red Imaging System – Tail/Thrust Vector Controlled, Surface Launched Medium Range

Doesn’t CAMM have an AIO option with the E/O mast? So it wouldn’t need to be a multi-vehicle endeavor anyway.
gaijin will probably just give everyone the patriot so they will just not bother with anything else
that dosent matter when there is going to be a new best one and i said weaker CAS not AA
You can keep overrating the TOR as much as you want, but that doesn’t suddenly make it second best.
Hell third best is already a stretch imo.
it is 1st place for being the coolest AA
you cant beat the vertically launched missiles

Yeah it looks and sounds dope, unfortunately it’s just super annoying to use.

kinda the E/O mast allows the launcher to us its 2 way DL it just wont have a radar to spot targets
what would you say is 3rd best then? because its between HQ-17 and FlakRakRad
That will probably be worth more, considering for multi-vehicles if either of them dies you’re gone.
Interestingly there’s some speculation that the “(pr)” tag near the SLM leak means that it comes with a “passive radar” second vehicle, which would mean you can only target airplanes/helicopters that have their radar scanning around you, in which case would make it a very weird system.
Having used all of them, my personal third best is still ADATS/HQ tied if both are used at the same BR. They are mostly tied because the HQ has a lower BR.
The HQ17 is just another case of a vehicle that looks really strong on paper but it’s just too clunky when actually used in game.
idk how you can class the ADATS 3rd best, its only thing it has is it can be used as a TD thats it

makes me wonder if they want to test that as well for the addition of SEAD/DEAD weapons
idk really, although I might be slightly biased because I have used the adats missiles a lot:

It cannot. That’s a ukrainian modification, maybe not even on the same vehicle and definitely not one that Germany is adopting.
