The proxy’s sensitivity was also originally set to a 60 degree margin, but this was reduced to 30. I believe it might have to do with inhibiting the confirmed kill on target.
Hmm, quite an interesting interceptor strategy. Is ‘Hit to Kiss’ a small peck on the cheek sort of thing or is it a big old smooch on the lips? Who knows.

I mean, it’s French so I think it’s goes a bit further than that ;)

I think Aster 30 B1 is just gonna be underperfoming. I really doubt they will fix it in the live server. I seen most of the bug reports get fixed, but a few updates ago we did the same for Tornado A-200C and it never got fixed, only now is one of the accepted bug reports finally coming through.
Seems it will just be another Italy situation, where they acknowledge the problem silently and do absolutely nothing about it
I dont know that sounds kinda weird honestly.
Functionally, these kinds of missiles either have this kind of proxy or simply don’t have any at all. Patriots come to mind immediately. The primary purpose is interception of Ballistic missiles, proximity fragmentation doesn’t decisively kill fast-flying hypersonic ballistic missiles since they can fly faster than the proxy can react. Similarly to Patriots with proxy, they are only there for a moderate degree of increased effectiveness against smaller targets. These missiles have to be small, fast, maneuverable, and precise.
Their primary purpose isn’t interception of small aircraft. In fact, repurposing towards this has hampered the effectiveness of Aster 30’s Ballistic Missile Interception capability, which is why the Block 2 was outlined with very different requirements. Direct impact with a Ballistic Missile assures it cannot accomplish its mission. Proximity Fuze results in situations where the target is able to continue its mission or do unwanted damage elsewhere

I’m not sure, but maybe his message was refering to the “hit-to-kiss”
As for Aster 30 Block 2, it seems its develelopment has been halted for now unfortunately
Yes, it looks like Aquila will be the next missile integration. Though some improvements on B1/B1NT aren’t out of the question

I hope they make Aquila solid booster + ramjet sustainer + solid propellant terminal dart with a swappable seeker (i think it was one of the considered choices and it seems the most promising from an outisde POV)

The proxy fuze of the Aster missile can be reported, and likely will be reported.
Source? Apparently from my rudimentary googling, it’s supposed to be 6 for each MSE.
If SAMP/T NG is added to Denmark in game one day, it will most likely be more similar to the french one, as they were bought with Thales ground fire 300 :

You broke the link by adding the center placement at the end.

oops, fixed
10-20 meters would still be unrealistic, since an aster 30 intercepted a missile 4 meters above the sea, and for the buk, with its 25 meters proxy, multi path isnt a big issue. The thing is that gaijin add everything, without balancing it. Adding such sam but not adding new defense systeme for jet is kinda stupid. They add everything without thinking about consequences on the gameplay. We still have no electronic counter mesure, not spectra systeme or equivalent, we start seeing those systemes for heli but not for jet.
i tested the buk m3 and its very easy to multipath it.

I think people tend to forget that missiles turn off their proxy fuse when the ground is in range of said proxy fuse, so flying under 25m means that buk3 literally would not be able to kill you (unless it exploded on the ground and splashed you, but its flight profile is completely different than some phoenixes fired from an orbital f14)
it always depends of course, but suppose you were flying high and you dive down, the missile will arrive at a steeper angle
And there’s all the cases where you fly lower than 60m but higher than 50m.
Does not seem like much but it can change the reliability of multipathing a bit
Back on SAMP/T, i hope they improved it since the dev. I know Smin said some bug reports had been worked on, i winder what those are
