Genuine question bc I’d love to see a little more love for the A32A (poor thing is ass), and the Viggen doesn’t have it either
Also, I just checked in game and the A32A is missing the Lansen part of its name
edit I found a suggestion for it thats been passed:
Yeah seriously what the flip is up with that.
Standard swedish L yet the community will still call them the most unfair nation that’s OP in every area because they have 3 Leopards lol
Depending on how the new target selection mechanic that is coming soon works we might soon have, not sure though. but you have a good point for the range actually.
which mechanic do you mean? i might’ve been under a rock when that was announced
This one: Aiming Points for Salvo Firing Guided Weapons :)
Specifically this part:
Depending on what they mean here and how that works you might be able to target enemies you have detected (through things like a target pod or teammate spotting) and launch on their previously known position through map selection, which for top tier AA will 99% of the time be a static point.
i mean on radar they seem to have implemented a kinda snappon mechanic when visually selecting targets out in-front.
on dev, it’s basically the original poi system, but multiplied
Works just the same as our current targeting options. You just get the option to loose salvos of missiles now. Map marks are still just as imprecise as ever, and the payload + speed does not make mk4 particularly concerning for base destruction.
How about marking GMTI contacts?
I cannot get this to function if it were intended. GMTI contacts are not updating aim points, and cannot really have aim points placed on them as they’re moving targets.
First time i’m seeing that, do you have any better sources for the procurement?
I’f there are credible sources for it i might try to find info on testing but i don’t want to spend all that time looking based on a news article that doesn’t list where it got the info :P
Nah that the first time I’ve seen anything
Same, i did a cursory search when i heard ARM’s were coming and found literally zero info so gave up relatively quickly. The closest we probably will get is if they make the RBS15F selectable between ARM and ASM modes.
Not sure if they would count this as ARM mode or not though:
There’s no way gaijin would put that much effort into a missile, especially not a Swedish one
Now, if were Russian on the other hand…
Not really sure you could even make the case that it’s an ARM. Many AAMs have home on jam functionality, but we wouldn’t exactly make the case they’re ARMs. Unless you can prove it can be loosed with the mode set to home on emissions, it’s just a nice add on to ensure functionality of the munition.
Maybe like a single band ARM.
Isnt that basically what AGM-122 Sidearm does?
I do not know anything about that missile, but from a quick wiki read the AGM-122 is just a full on early ARM and does not really have a “home on jam” feature in that way.
@Necronomica now that the gripen E is getting its weight increased by 0.65 tonnes which is a consequence of its increased wingsize, will the plane finally, actually get its increased wingsize? Have any info on that?
