Which is a baseless assumption. Diehl has never stated that the missile needs extremely favorable conditions to achieve Mach 3, they stated IT REACHES Mach 3.
The missile in the game reaches Mach 3 at extremely long ranges which are effectively outside of its real coverage umbrella, and REMEMBER, we still have Diehl stating that the missile travels a distance of 30km’s while climbing to an altitude of 12km’s IN UNDER 60 SECONDS whereas it cannot do it in the game currently UNDER ANY CONDITIONS.
The lofting profile is also atrocious, if you had bothered to look up any video launches of the real IRIS-T SLM system, you’d notice that they don’t do what they do in the game.
The devs are being completely disingenous just to hand wave the report.
Trying to take screenshots and videos of aircraft with certain skins is near impossible because of this. Some days some aircraft are fine and the next they don’t work. Has been going on for over a year now.
The missile is able to reach speeds of 2.95 - 3.0m in game. There is no further information currently from which to base any changes on. It already can meet those speeds.
Sadly no more can be done with the current information.
Can it reach a distance of 30km and altitude of 12km in under 60 second like Diehl said it can? The answer to that alone will be enough to determine whether the devs even care enough.
If somethings not correct, it can be reported as you well know. This is not the topic to continue this discussion.
This report received a response. Coming at me full force is not going to change that unfortunately. I’ve explained already with all the information we received from the devs response.
When will the FB-10A be fixed?
It’s a 18km missile but it has insane drag
It will loose speed at an insane rate while literally going in a straight line not even pulling any G’s
Far from its max range
Although I’m being a little sarcastic, I’m also being quite genuine. Some reports can go months or years without being shown any signs of being received, and usually it either takes extra steps or luck to have them seen early on in some way. Usually when they seem to be neglected (which I understand there’s plenty more behind the scenes we cannot see or do not know), some users can take reports through you, tech mods, or just find ways to give them traction to finally receive a response or be given a glance. Other times it could be already seen reports seemingly being forgotten (again, I know there’s more too it, but from our view we get no word on absolutely anything for long periods of time, take the Merkava Mk.4’s armor report for example). The whole system seems somewhat flawed and preferential. This could just be due to a lack of information present to us or transparency, but it’s still very much how it looks. Just sharing a genuine concern I guess, thought I might mention this view of mine because maybe you have answers, or maybe this could be taken as feedback for the system, I doubt this simple comment of mine will do anything but I felt the need to make it, I just want the system to improve is all.
Yeah and no updates at all, and when we ask it’s always something along the lines of ‘no updates on that now’, or ‘can’t share anything on it at this time’. Transparency is really much appreciated, as I really hope these issues aren’t really forgotten and ignored as they seem to be.
