Fun fact: We already have IIRs in game, the Ty-90 (and even PL-5EII, also, as it uses the same seeker), both are IIR irl. I think there’s technically some more but, yeah.
Gaijin models them the same way they do ever other IRCCM method they don’t feel like modeling, gatewidth + tracking suspension (or just gatewidth in the 5EII’s case).
Fair enough, but still not IRIS-T, ASRAAM, Aim-9X, etc etc
Honestly? I feel like they’re gonna have IIR AAMs use the same things, honestly there’s not much reason to have more advanced IRCCM modeled anyways.
the surface area of a map 130 km by 130 km is 16,900 km²
Malvinas have a total surface area of approximately 12,173 km²
If you travel diagonally, from one tip to the other, it’s almost 185 km.
bro all the SAMs being added right now would be playable, they are not going to be static things they were really clear with finding a way or mechanic to introduce them as playable vehicles also in the leak list of mike if you saw IRIS-T SLM ----- GER (PR) the “PR” part is for passive radar most likely and this means it would be 2 vehicles the main battery and the radar.
The best theory i’ve seen is a much narrower gate width than we have already in game combined with maybe seeker shutoff or push ahead or something to create a “dual-IRCCM” seeker.
But I was really surprised the SLS devblog had nothing for this
Being a Diaganol map will help a little at top tier (180km between the 2 points and not just 130), but still. What a missed oppotunity
yeah, it’s very likely. Great catch.
It’s a shame we dont have a sim version
even a ground map for goose green would be great.
Still want that carrier battle, since there will probably never be another one, so this is the closest moment to an all deck carrier to carrier engagement in post war history and likely the last
Just get both sides CATOBAR(ark royal and forrestal) and allow any nations any naval aircraft at the same BR to participate
Yeah, in RB that would be new and unique
Can work for sim as well, so like, its the same except all air bases are replaced with carriers
Oh, you mean pure carrier vs carrier?
Issue is, there just isnt enough carrier aircraft and so the matchmaker would probably be pure F-14s or Harriers
Su33’s are a decent counterpart
So you might have F-14A vs Su-33s at top tier, maybe the odd SHar FA2.
But below that?
F-18 vs Yak-141?
F4 vs F4?
Then its SHar vs F-7/F-6E
Then Harrier vs Yak-38.
Just isnt enough for a continuous MM above the props I think
Yeah it’s not much
yeah russia dosent really have that many carrier capable aircraft the only one they could still get is the mig-29k
the only nations that have a decent amount of naval planes are the US and Britain, with a few being in the French tech tree as well
(ignoring props)
Which are all on the same team in sim (with the exception of France sometimes being on the other team). Turns out nobody’s got carriers.
VT-1 is worthless imo for air, even playing sweden or US im pulling CAP over SPAA, SPAA is basically worthless whereas i have multirole aircraft to do far more for my team. Imo your argument is irrelevant especially considering you’re ignoring the main use for the ADATS being anti tank (when it wants to work lol)
Any chance that the Roma will get the ability to launch the Re.2000?
