14.5km range alone is problematic, problem is in think not enough known about its limitation range without the nlos feature. The seeker just isnt well known enough
The main upgrade to Javelin was conversion to a SACLOS missile system, the starburst was Laser beam riding iirc. (also some minor warhead improvements though still a chunky missile)
TV/IR seekers in-game don’t work past ~8km, the range argument was presented when Russia got the Kh-29TE with “30 km” range.
With a maximum speed of 230m/s and launched from ground level (300-500m), i really doubt someone could abuse the full range on a helicopter.
thats not the case, mavericks and pgms can be shot from further away, kh-29te as well, rpoblem is if bushes etc get in between then the missles self detonates, but thats not a problem of the missle
stil less cancer than f-16c blok 50 as toptier cas jet in grb as its still a SLOW subsonic strike aircraft where dircm will do nothing against radar spaa
cancer for ARB, they are hell annoying, but good thing is its br gonna be so high it wont matter
missiles with DIRCCM would be able to not get decoyed, so I’d check to see any of these have it.
The problem lies in the difference between track and point mode. You can fire any TV guided AGM in point mode so long as it’s within the theoretical lock range, but most TV guided weapons won’t start tracking until somewhere under 10km(assuming perfect weather)
My understanding is that the best TV seeker on fixed wing planes is the AGM-65D, but even that struggles to actually track something past 10km
To be fair, only the 65D of the mavericks can track moving targets beyond 6-8km range.
He also claimed the Leo is for two nation iirc didn’t he ?
i know u wanna troll, but that realy doesnt have anything to do with each other
No I’m being serious this time
i am confused then, who did you mean with he then? i thought it was u taking a jab again because i would say canadian and turkish leo could go to germany
Let’ me find the quote but he also said wait for the 29th of this month
well keeping sth awesome for a day that only comes every few years certainly would be awesome in that regard
Here
where did you find that
two option uk or germany, one may be removed, doesnt this just mean only 1 nation will get the vehicle in the end just like it normaly happens?
By the way, I figured out what’s up with this leak list. The Su-24SM as well all know, isn’t a real variant, and it’s taken from another, fake leak list, but most of this list is just ripped from the China guy.
The additions that are not from China guy are the Type 90 premium, T-80UE premium, VT-4 premium, Centauro II, F-15C, F-4F ICE, Su-24, and the F-2(that’s iffy cus it was in the china guys first leak)
My pro tip, is to not pay attention to these extra additions. What’s funny tho is that he actually hit one vehicle right that I know is coming, but also forgot another that even the China guy doesn’t have.
For those who missed it, this is the real leak list and the only one you should trust for now
