Honestly from my experience with the sky sabre its not too bad against helicopters yea it struggles but that applies to all of the new toptier spaas. However I will say that from what I see the sky saber is the most effective out of all the new spaas against helis just because it has a very tall radar that you basically can detect them before they can fire
Anything of note yet or has gaijin just decided this is our toptier for the next 3 years
Nope, nothing changed.

No fixes to Sky Sabre on the dev, but we sure like some bugs.
[DEV] Sky Sabre cant select targets while in the launcher

I genuinely wonder how they break things while changing absolutely nothing and then take forever to fix it. Same happened with the stormer hvm not long ago lol
A camera in sniper mode on launcher goes to its default position itself after launched also.
Ancient engine, ancient spaghetti code
I’ve had the same issue happen to me. It’s led to several deaths, because the game prioritises firing from launcher 1 first and then launcher 2, so because the game thinks launcher 1 still has ammo due to the bug, the system just won’t fire any missiles unless you manually exclude launcher 1.
The workaround is to either switch between vehicles to update the number of missiles, or if it’s urgent use the hotkey to disable the faulty launcher temporarily.
Love the 24hr turn-around time on addressing some of the BMP-T bugs, but things like this have been left unfixed for over 4 months now.

Sky sabre is absolutely not meeting its range requirements as it stands. 0.87 at 23km for a “45km” range missile is just sad.

Wow, that will mean it is quite simmilar kinematically to the standard CAMM, so much for the ER

both camms feel pretty bad to use against munitions
Yeah, known issue

yep…
Shouldn’t have brexit and get IRIST by now while the dev not fixing this damn thing LMAO
Getting sources and reporting those sources for CAMM is quite tricky, but I know core issues include things like, well:
Let alone the launcher itself
There is also an issue regarding CAMM-ER being extremely slow iirc, CAMM and CAMM-MR are both subsonic at the same ranges, despite the fact that CAMM-ER should have double the range. Meaning that CAMM-ER is not really a kinematic upgrade like it should be
But TLDR:
CAMM cant actually hit targets, especially smaller ones like drones and missiles because it just misses, that trumps any other issue imo
Aster-30 also has problems hitting drones, we just haven’t bothered reporting that yet but was on our to-do list. I don’t mean to make it into a competition of who suffers more, but the context of the conversation was that Panther said the Aster-30 performed better than Buk which wasn’t true. All of these missiles should be fixed, and afaik, only the Buk is the only top tier SAM that doesn’t underperform. But it is also true that the Aster-30 has the most open reports demonstrating a significant amount of underperformance in terms of kinetic/maneuverability. Aster-30 for example, is missing 50km in kinetic range.
Sure, Buk is definetly the best ARH SAM at the moment.
But between Sky Sabre and Aster-30 I know which Id want to use and its not the Sky Sabre
The number of CAMM reports will probably double when they add ASRAAM, its just that CAMM cant really be reported at the moment
thats also not forgetting the Sky Sabre reports as well
Besides the maneuverability, I thought the CAMM was performing as expected btw in terms of speed/range? It outperforms the ASRAAM’s scenario, which is understandable as it contains lower drag due to the radar seeker head. I’d be glad to be proven wrong.
im not sure on CAMM, but CAMM-ER should basically double the range, but it doesnt, it should have a 45km range but is barely M0.8 at 20-25km
