Sorry, best Gaijin can offer is a lock on from the rear aspect at 12km and from the front at 8km and maximum 5km altitude.
Yes, the system is more capable in real life…but balance and so on…

It’s beautiful 😍

You know, with these new absolute units, perhaps it’s time for large camo nets that kind of drape over them. Perhaps they could have some thermal effects as well although that’s probably not realistic.

Can land ceptor carry CAMM-MR or CAMM-LR?

Is this even taller than the new German Radar Truck?

Yes

AMB can be raised for example over buildings on Berlin

They need to add a mechanic where you can vary the height instead of it being on or off

It has only one other position

But that would still be useful to have. High, low or off

As a British main I would love this to be added because on the release of hornets sting, I was disappointed that Great Britain wasn’t one of the countries to be given an Radar anti-air convoy truck

If a dev has seen this
WE WANT IT NOW

12

So it’s been included in a (reliable) leak list for the next major, didn’t say which CAMM variant would be used though

13

If they do add Aster-30 hopefully we’ll get CAMM-MR

14

You cant get something that does not exist.

15

Looks at KH-38MT

Just came here after the leak list featured Sky Sabre!

If they actually make the CAMM missiles smokeless, this will literally be the hardest AA to find in a match, place the launchers behind low buildings and the radar truck in the trees and just raise the radar above them xD

17

And hey it can survive moving about without the radar unit aswel

I’ll bring it to the right thread @Minimann333-live

CAMM-ER is reported to be 45km range. Which is 5km more than the IRIS-T SLMs reported range.

Also France and Italy are apparently getting Aster-30 on the SAMP/T with 120km range and Soviets apparently the 9M317M on the Buk-M3 at about 70km.

CAMM-ER is actually fairly reasonable

65km
