Cool, part 2 with no devblog XD
PIRATE should be able to provide DL. It is able to obtain target heading and its distance. All that in inputed into the main computer, and after getting turned into commands, it goes off to the missile.

I guess they need a laser range finder to get the distance ?
Source?
No, PIRATE uses trigonometric ranging.
Would ironically be the worst 4th gen IR missile in game if added next to something like a Python 4 or real AAM-3
That’s crazy, the precision they need to do that considering speeds of aircrafts
Still better than using AIM-9M.
And this is where it confuses me when people say europe is behind america in avionics and aircraft in general, we are on par or ahead in most fields besides stealth

Can we just all collectively agree to stop using the term “XXX nation main”? It’s beyond cringe.

It’s a necessary evil to summarise chunks of the playerbase with such extreme tunnel vision that they relegate themselves to playing a single nation and will die on the hill that they suffer

Nah, I have 7 nations up to top tier ground.
It’s the people who only play a single nation by choice (people just not having time to grind a second nation is actually a fair reason) that usually post the stupid takes here. So I’m just going to call them out, sorry if it hurts their feelings.

Nvm he’s being serious. I thought he was joking. So he believes a plane that never punched any of their air forces belongs to said nations… but t90s should have gone to USSR.
Might get a gold medal with this routine at the Olympics.
Took me a bit to realize this was bait when I saw you replying to someone. I was about to lose it over t90 to Russia(I agree) but then the same logic not being applied to the U.S. plane lol
This is fine because then US and allies can get patriot SAMs

PIRATE was to my knowledge designed with this in mind as a way to detect aircraft with low RCS

Did Smin said something about blog today/this week?
@Smin1080p_WT Can we expect devblog today? It’s already only two weeks before Christmas, and unless Gaijin will mess dev-server with opening less than a week or give up their Christmas Vacation, they need to start dev-season this week.

Problem is Patriot/S300 at those low down alititudes and ranges is marginally more lethal than the Pantsir we have in game
