devs already closed and the datamines show no indication of any changes to the aim120c-7 even if they did it would be more of a seeker change than a range increase
Nope its active radar once the missile is withing 16km it goes active and gives off a missile warning but since its only effective withing 12km you just get a missile warning instantly.
I was referring to the IRIS-T slingers, the radar unit would give off a TRK warning tempoarily until the IRIS-T is fired. As for the SL-AMRAAM, I could imagine the launch warning on the AIM-120 and then the missile indicator would be an issue, but we still have got to see how it performs on the live server before drawing conclusions
well yeah your gonna know the radar is there but no track warning its tws, not knowing a missile is launched is the important part. and we already know how the SL-AMRAAM is gonna preform thats what the dev server is for, we already see how bad the range is, in fact the 25km the devs gave it is not even possible on a stationary target at altitude, with any movement in any direction the effective range falls down to sub 10km and at that point your kinda usuless as a sam if the target needs to be that close.
Isn’t the entire turret system French rather than just the missiles?
true the missile is more a France/Germany thing, point still stands tho the system is still very connected to the US even if they dont use it themselves
Germany has no link to crotale and VT-1 more precisely
maybe you got it confused with Roland ?
Guess ill stick with ADATS for a bit longer, since it doesnt give any warnings
yeah you right
You can use AIM-9X in a somewhat similar manner at least. It’s still going to be slower (and you have less), but it’s fire and forget. Hope they do give the C-7s a smokeless motor as well still, wouldn’t be too much of a balance concern as it gives an RWR warning instead. I don’t think the SLAMRAAM will be that bad, but the ADATS will definitely still be better in some cases (not talking about its anti ground capabilities).
Well that was because the nations operated it
Nasams wouldnt change anything
Yes its a longer range Aim-120 But it still has the same problem every ARH platform has right now
Its too easy to just notch the missiles and instantly defeat them
Range doesnt matter at all if you can just notch the missile as soon as its launched
Yes, I was simply providing examples of vehicles that where added to many nations at once, I was not making any comment on if it was a good or bad thing, just that it happens.
all they would need to do is adjust the seeker to make notching a lil harder since the 120 is already a pain in the ass to notch sometimes, plus if your forced into a notch at 20+km instead of 10km you cant get your weapons off (at least with a hard lock) and have to rethink the attack
