Then yeah, something was definetly wrong.
Thats just how missiles in this game are made.
And that is why 6M is such a blinding contrast to them all.

All I’m saying is it’s very unlikely the 6Ms preformance is exaggerated for what it was designed to do with double the range.
But obviously comparing it with the Aster 30 they should be somewhat similar in preformance
The thing is, ASTER 30 is a +120km rated missile in pure kinematics, limited to 100 by the radar on the in-game SAMP/T

Why would you use a Pantsir system for that purpose? When an S-500 is already designed to intercept Hypersonic missiles?
Pantsir is a SHORAD system when we take it out of the War Thunder eco system it not being able to fire over the horizon and be dependant on LOS is a real disadvantage.
Which is why it as said before is a SHORAD system and is deployed to protect S-400 sites, Kerch bridge and other targets that could be attacked by drones or missiles.

I’d rather have to deal with a Yak 9 than a Me 262 Pulkzerstörer
In genral I am more worried about German cannon CAS than about USSR cannon CAS at low BRs
Which means it should be sustaining the speeds the 6M do for longer and much farther to have that kind of range.
Is there any info on it I can take a look at?
For a missile rated for that kind of range, I’m having trouble deducing on what range it will hit it’s top speed since it’s 1500m/s vs the 6m 1700m/s. And obviously if it’s primary goal was to hit sea skimming targets or terminal phase threats, I don’t imagine it will be doing a lot of manuvering to hit it’s target.
Oh no friend the Yak 9 APHE is a lower BR and wrecks
I know that it’s at a lower BR, I just don’t mind that one at all
It’s not like other nations can’t do the same either
because it’s a lower BR it faces weaker SPAA and because of that it is near impossible to shoot down from the ground.
Most SPAA players can’t shoot worth a damn and since it’s Russia, it’s a gamble if they fight against Germany, or are teamed up with the U.S to fight Germany.
Again, other nations have options to do the same, usually at even lower BRs
Having to deal with a Me 262 in a 5.3 SPAA is an actual nightmare, the Yak is just a regular plane with a cannon in its nose

I’ts exacerbated because of how APHE currently works in game (blame the playerbase for that).
I can’t give you any data other than the brochures, you can look around reports made by the French community for some data, but they don’t share sources.
Also ASTER 30 is not designed for terminal threats, it has 3km min range.
Aa good player can just snipe SPAAs and as you are lower BR muzzle velocity is so slow.
Huh, then what’s the reason for such long range, now I’m really confused
granted you said it’s held back to a 100kms because of the radar
Brochures will be just fine ye
then you also have stuff like the AMRAAM ER which has loads of valid sorces saying it should be capable of mach 4+ speeds
while in game its limited to less than mach 3
along with likely having at least 25% more maximum range IRL than in game
It doesn’t have loads of valid sources, the sources usually talk about the ESSM and you need sources that talk about the AMRAAM ER specifically
It’s a MRAD missile, it’s designed to destroy things before they get anywhere close.
Also I removed the sea skimming part, I wrote it automatically incorrectly, it is designed to destroy them.
