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

Iris-t slm , spdyer derby er etc have minimum engangement ranges.
Different use cases.
They added modern spaas to vover ground fliers and long range ones for climbers.
Its not that hard to understand they are supposed to work in tandem and vover each other

its for the better bro. These missles are prolly going to be added in the last update of the year

these “long range” SPAAs still work perfectly in close range, they don’t need the closer one’s cover.
the only problem is they are usually stationed, and will be easier for SEAD plane to catch them.

But my poor UHT…
Missing better stingers, missing mistrals, missing more CMs. Missing more rockets.
No gun

Minimum engangement range jesus

will a DERBY-ER only be maneuverable after 3 or 5km in game? I think it’s a no, and it will be surely more maneuverable than current VT-1 and 95Ya6

So again assumption by you.
You forget as well those missles like the tor m1 start verticaly

And take their time to “spool up” (u get what i mean) to be fast enough to not fall out of the sky after 5 meters

Depends. If GJ goes with its first batch of deliveries in 1997, then probably not.
I hope they bring the one including Upgrade21 and Upgrade25

So far the theory is that there will be 2 Swiss Hornets, but it just makes no sense when both the initial Hornet and upgraded Hornet would be TT and 14.0 if they both get AIM-120.

SACLOS mode ruined it, it can’t get its mobility advantage without autopilot.
and SPYDER isn’t vertically launched.

Such missiles also have ARH hence they dont need guidance from the launcher if the target gets behind a mountain (as long as the missile has LOS, its good.

U definitly think about the wrong spyder variant

?
SPYDER-ALL-IN-ONE-768x576
Looks pretty vertical to me

I mean the new SAMs should be better than VT-1 by a longshot, although I think 40km is a bit overkill.

20-25km should be plenty.

Here fixed it, now it’s not vertical launched anymore.

Well, to be honest, he’s half right, the Spyder isn’t completely vertical launch it’s just that it’s near vertical launch (basically the same but well). Thankfully, the launcher can rotate if I’m not wrong.
