It was in the 2.7.0.55 modelling leak, and has since been in Mobile for awhile. Definitely a possibility, but doesn’t seem to be coming this upcoming update.

Ppl likely need to brush up on their english lessons then:
That being said, its a little weird some nations arent getting new SAM systems, particularly when the available SAM systems are quite similar to the SLM.
Britain/Italy: EMADS (Sky Sabre for Britain, Grifo for Italy), 25/45km range ARH, 8x missiles.
France: VL MICA, 20/40km ARH or IIR, 4 missiles
Russia doesnt need anything new, as it doesnt really ever face anything that competes with the Pantsir currently seen in-game, and China is getting an approximate equivalent to it.
US could get SLAMRAAM, 12/35km range with up to 5 missiles (2xAIM-9X + 4xAIM-120), or it could get the multi-mission launcher (missiles kinda straddle the required range though, either firing stingers and 9X for sub 12km range, or firing Iron dome interceptors (70km)
Sweden afaik doesnt have anything beyond what its already getting

Gaijin likely consider Dual Mode Brimstone as accurate based on photos like this. Brimstone 2 (even if SAL only) really should be added though.

That’d be pretty easy to shoot down.
Well, seeing as ARH missiles from the early '90s had less than a 20% probability of kill… Maybe not.
We love cherry picking very niche ranks!

Yeah, they probably do.
But just going by the fact Brimstone 2s entered service in 2016, were first test fired on a typhoon in 2017 and entered service on the Typhoon in 2018, that the Typhoon should probably have Brimstone 2s not Brimstone 1s.
But theyd be so much easier to use than Brismtone 1s if still limited to SAL
OTO Malera torture, fitting nickname you have here, i will say X)
insane to me its been stated that the US probably isn’t getting an SPAA which almost certainly means the UK isn’t which also screws over Italy as they both use CAMM, which I don’t care if this upsets the German players they should have focused on CAMM over the SLM to have it for this update, Germany had a better SPAA then both Italy and UK and if they prioritized the CAMM it would have helped 2 nations instead of one

arguably the biggest sin here, both have systems that perfectly match the SLM for nations that needed it more yet only germany is getting the SLM

It will be a slow rollout for all nations, I don’t think Gaijin wants everyone to have SLM-tier SAMs on top tier, otherwise it will be extremely hard to balance. Maybe when planes get ARM/HARM ordinance to counter these systems in battles, they will. They most likely picked Germany to try out LOAL on the IRIS-T and see how it performs.
That kind of explains their latest fetish on basically revamping the american ADATS instead of moving on and giving another system.
Still doesn’t justify the absence of relevant systems for minor nations, including GB with their ADATS which haven’t seen such level of revamp as the US model.
imho it’s about time the US got nothing all last year they’d got new stuff after new stuff, some it’s about time they had a back seat for at least an update or two.
thats fine just dont give it to germany, russa, china, sweden or israel
also the idea that they care about balance and they are adding a 40km sam in the same sentence is ludacris no way you swing it CAMM was more balanced could be given to more nations and could have went to nations that needed it more, its very clear gaijin chose germany just because they are one of the big 3

i mean i would like a revamp if they arent adding slamraam or US sam. Stuff like multi track, auto-lead, multi guidance, stabilized sight, correct gun elevations, correct irst ability to track in adverse weather, correct radar scan range(elevation, look up, look down), etc… would help
they can add MK.III missiles(which is 12km) although afaik DevilO6 said seems like only brochure exist so idk
Clearly they are adding MMW SPEAR 3 and GBU-53 (holy cope)

KH-38MT would still somehow be stronger

I’d love to see the mental gymnastics they go through to come to that conclusion lol. Maybe in something like the Stinger devblog
Only spotlight switch should be between USN/USMC and USAF
The one Im looking forward to is
“We dont see how ASRAAM can be this maneuverable without TVC and therefore we think the 50G pull stats for it are a marketing lie”
