Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Slamraam?

Speaking of new and old things, since the P-16 is returning as GE, is there any updates on the status for the Israeli “starter packs” ? Since it’s now impossible as a new player to start grinding Israel.

Wouldn’t suprise me since it can go to 2 nations

Ik US but what other

Norway, they were the ones to complete the vehicle and it was a joint project before the US pulled out.

Ahh ok that makes sense but it should still go to the US right

The basic model of Slamraam yes.

Norway should get Slamraam and NASAM High mobility (the finished model)

Honestly both should get the better one imho, we don’t need to have nations with lesser spaa anymore.

Given the stance US players have on this subject no, the US doesn’t need Norways model, they have their own vehicles they could add. Additionally NASAM High mobility is very unlikely since it carries Aim 9x also

Didnt Raytheon do something with the NASAMS 3?

They have a separate project looking into it. Raytheon and Kongsberg work together a lot on different projects especially guided munitions.

Alright. Does this mean the SLAMRAAM Humvee won’t come to the US even though it uses an American vehicle with American missiles?

Ahh ok

No it still will just like the ADATS.

I didn’t say that, Slamraam would go to the US but the NASAM HML which is the later model would not go to the US, Norway would just have both the 2011 model from when the US dropped the project, which both nations would get this model, and the NASAM HML would be exclusive to Norway. Its not a huge difference outside of the pylons being modified.

Though iirc Slamraam tested it also. I think the only difference was new electronics and turret drive alongside a new datalink for the HML. Again the differences should be essentially so miniscule i doubt gaijin will bother adding HML.

Again the project is to have a fast platform for quick Anti air, they still require a towed radar, well not for the 9X iirc

What other SPAA could the US get because I swear they worked on a lot with Norway.

So it can just be one vehicle with the full capabilities?

Eh, i dont think it has the ability to tow the radar

A bunch of gun & stinger AA put on Humvees, JLTV, Stryker, etc
