No, CAPTOR-M.
What we have is a Blue Vixen with tweaked numbers. Nothing that made the CAPTOR-M so special or capable has been added yet like Priority Track. In fact at the moment, the CAPTOR-M is one of the weakest top tier radars at the moment despite being the best M-Scan radar IRL.
Yeah, should have been averaging 1 per year, not 1 per 3 years
I’m in two minds about this. Gone are the days of premium sraam and r-73 su-25 to test new missiles, but…
I’m not sure how strong ground launched iris-t will be. Either it’s their new biggest mistake or it’s going to be mediocre. I really can’t believe it’s going to be anything other than extremely potent or extremely disappointing.
If it is disappointing then it doesn’t matter if it is on every plane.
If it is extremely strong, then it will be ruinous even on one ground vehicle.
But I still think many people are getting a bit excited and certain that this missile will be the solution. We don’t even have it fully confirmed yet and we don’t know how it even performs.
I’m excited because I like rotary autocannons!
Yeah, but either way, its a great way to test how they model IIR seekers
I agree in principle, but I think people are expecting the ground iris-t will be 1 to 1 with the air launched variant.
I’m not totally convinced it will be the case.
oh thats how you meant it,
well i hope that they fix the mechanical radars, it is pretty annoying atm
the constant ghost targets,
targets not being picked up,
tagets not being refreshed properly
ik it is worse for the EF but it also affects a few other top tier radars
Hmm… Obviously ground launch kills a lot of range and agility
but I cant see why the seekers themselves would be any different if they didnt differ IRL.
Yeah, TWS+ being broken is another problem ontop of the CAPTOR-Ms existing problems. But what everyone is experiencing since last major is what we’ve had since december
ik i was able to fly the subterainian german EF
Does it not have some kind of different engine or add in booster?
I doubt the seekers are identical over the course of the production life cycle.
Ground launched iris-t should be quite recent and any plane ones would certainly be earlier in the production run.
But yes, I’m mostly thinking the seekers won’t be like people expect and the air version might not be as good.
from what i can tell the IRIS-T SLS only has different software
Base version no, but I think there is an extended range version as well thats like 40km.
A bit like ASRAAM / CAMM —> CAMM-ER —> CAMM-MR
I dont know about that actually, either way, Id expect them to be identical in game.
I think they will the same in air and ground but neither will be anything like IRL and instead will be IRCCM+ rather than IIR
that is the IRIS-T SLM
I’m mostly a ground player so the new things just look meh.
The map and vehicle model visual updates are always great, won’t ever complain about those.
The new SAMs are a needed, but still pretty boring, addition. Although their capabilities are pretty much still a bit controversial imo.
2A4NL and proto Leclerc are eh for me, already have most of the French ground tree done anyway.
Stuff like the Leclerc XLR (with a better round) and SEPv3 could come in as semi counterparts to the 2A7s/122s.
After that it’s 1-2 more rounds of more modern MBTs and there are a bunch of crazy 80s/90s MBT prototypes.
Yeah the Type 625 looks like one of the more fun new spaas.
Ah yeah, Air and Naval are my main gamemodes, so as much as I want things like Ajax, Warrior VerdI II or CR2 overhauls. Id be happier with Typhoon and Harrier Overhauls and new features like ECM.
Which reminds me, with Falklands map coming, I think I need to double down on getting Coastal sorted just in case they add a Type 21 Frigate alongside it
yeah but its so pain especially the british costal
Yeah, it is rough
Great, more 2020’s vehicles…
as much as I like the look of the Type 12Is they are so bad
