Smaller more aerodynamic missile, almost than double drag coefficient???
Just like the MICA-EM
Here’s a side view for Loft:

The Aster-30 Block 1 is said to be 120km and Aster-30 Block 1NT is said to be 150km+ that is correct. BUT, there is an important distinction to be made here. It has been found that the Aster-30 Block1NT was not improved in motor, booster, or size. The Block 1 is only changed in terms of seeker and electronics and everything else was kept the same.
The report that mentioned 120km max range was since then changed to 150km max range.

Diameter is also used for drag calculation so it’s not actually double in game
Still, 1.725 is insane. AMRAAM, being the same caliber, is 1.425 for instance (and could probably still be lowered if some reports are to be believed)
As for the buk, yeah the value seems very low

That’s actually a lot more impressive than I thought. I thought it would have like 50km maximum range, it got quite a bit close.

people weren’t able to test this in dev cus the radar was limited to 20km and they only fixed it in the last day when most of the players uninstalled dev server.

According to Smin, the number of reports that the Aster-30 has is not enough to warrant a rework and will instead be “handled normally”, maybe I am taking liberty of how I read his statement but this is what he has to say on it.
Anyway, two big reports on the Aster-30 is being worked up on tonight detailing the performance of the Aster-30 missile so that should add to the list of reports under the Aster-30.

Cool, why have they been unable to do the same for the AGM-114 for 7 years?
For Italy and France this means never. (Also love the company line of trying to downplay the situation by saying, “oh actually it isnt as broken as other top tier missiles” lol)
Maybe if we got SAMP/T in Russian tree it would be good.
Still baffles me that the brick that is the Buk-M3 has so little drag, and a little hypermanuverable anti-ballistic dart has more drag than most missiles in the game.
Maybe there is some sort of airbrake that is somehow extended when the first stage breaks off
You closed that report though
Looks very balanced to me
Good it’s getting the same treatment as slm got

My bug report on the ASTER-30 being unable to intercept more than 1 target got rejected because I forgot to include a Game Log and Replay file. Please boost the new one to fix this issue or else

No one talks about the fact that they added a missile that is designed to be hit-to-kill IRL and then didn’t add one of the main mechanics that helps it do that IRL, lateral thrust.
The small proxy and warhead are acceptable for real world application because the dart is designed to impact the target.

I closed it because Mulatu updated his report to include the sources that were in my report.

You gotta be freaking kidding me: Community Bug Reporting System
Bug reporting manager marks my report as (NOT A BUG) because the ARH missiles completely missing their targets is a game feature. YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEOS PROVIDED THAT 16+ MISSILES CANNOT INTERCEPT 3 FREAKING AGM-65D’s

I might have to add a secondary video of the BUK-M3 intercepting missiles to prove to whoever closed my issue that its clearly a bug affecting the SAMP/T only
