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

i wonder if they’ll thicken the smoke from SAMs anytime soon, it feels like they produce so little smoke compared to videos of SAM launches

didnt know they had such a version of the S300

Either Thursday or next week.

like the other systems, it need search radar.
workable with fire control radar but not complete

Same with muzzle flashes a tank just outwith your point of focus and your thermals dont pick it up…hmmm

Everything, even the speed radar on the F4, is better than the Captor-M. I’ve fully researched four nations, but I’ve never encountered a radar as broken as the Captor. The number of false (ghost) targets and the issues with lock-on in helmet-mounted sight mode are impossible to explain in any way other than the developers simply not wanting to fix an obviously broken radar

Like, it is nice, but with missles having only 10-12km range and only up to 5km above ground. Im sure that anything that will get into that range it will have hard time…but with top tier cas having ordinces that has much longer launch range then 12km…dont know how to feel about it. For sure will me much smaller target then party bus that is ItO

apparently its supposed to have 8km altitude but surely thats just a typo on the blog… right? :clueless:

Unit has the Radar built onto the top of it to my knowledge it can be used stand alone?

Norway is currently under the Swedish tree. So Germany would not receive something like this.

another german L

For suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

ghost targets is from TWS+, not just Captor. HMD has problems for a long time for everyone

it’s the fire control radar, enables it firing, nothing else, still need a search radar to work properly

Does that mean germany wont get an new SAM this patch?

Ummm ok one 25km missile

A few 10km ones

And a multipurpose missile system with a topped of 125km/h

Is it planned for Germany to receive a similar SAM system (not necessarily this update)?

Germany doesnt need Norway in order to get a new SPAA.

I know, but it’s the Captor that has the most noticeable issues with this. While it’s not that obvious on other radars, with the Captor it’s a real problem.

upd. My thought — though it even sounds stupid — is that one of the most advanced MSARs has such issues. I get that it’s silly to compare a game to real life, but still.
