Yes, it is indeed the highest. We can most probably expect 60G, it’s not like 3G is going to make any difference here
While it’s what the devs stated, i wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t coming this patch
Aster-30 is no where near any of the SAMs currently implemented, even IRIS-T
Additionaly it would require a lot of work on detachable missiles as well as the PIF-PAF control, which is quite different compared to a usual TVC (Side thrusters)
I’m not expecting it to be very long tbh. Some space needs to be used for the PIF-PAF, the terminal dart is basically the size of a MICA, and maintaining this dart at Mach 4.5 requires a decent amount of thrust.
I wouldn’t expect more than 4-5s probably ?

I cannot say for certain the burn time, but at the least there are records of the flight time after launch to a target, which should help determine the overall energy Aster 30 should have.

This is an unnecessary statement, iris t slm is a different system entirely. There might as well be a universe of difference between aster 30 and iris t er
Hopefully not, that sounds like a metric fuckload of powercreep.
It was mentioned on the RU devstream during the last update, of which was what initiated this thread.
I knwo but i hope that was just early talk. Samlt and bukm3 would be even worse powercreep. The only universe i can see this veing a positive addition is if we get more advance a2g weaponry(for anyone but russia kh38 is still second to none pretty much)
Point is, taking PK alone is not enough, you need more context
The only thing comparable to SAMP/T is Patriot, and we don’t know how they compare to each other and what kind of target they are tasked to engage. Except for the so called dramatic software problem that lasted 2 weeks and the missile supply, which is is THE real problem.
Basically would be like using that old video of a Patriot slaming into the ground to say it’s bad, which would be a BIG shortcut
My point is that the jab at the iris t slm was pointless and a bit disengenuos. Nothing else
This aligns with, as stated, the mentions that this coming update is centered around SEAD. Potentially this would compose Anti-radiation and more Standoff munitions.
new type of tvc ? watch them add it first n fix it properly after 1 year.
i dont think kh38s would be enough you would need ARMs to counter these sams. if they add ARMs it will mostly benefit US/RUS/china cus they have dedicated fighters which can also perform CAS role , unlike half of nato which is left with tornado. (eft/rafale/gripen/F2 cannot carry ARMS vs f15/16/18 , su/2730/35/34, mig29k/35 , j10/11/15/16)
I wonder what kind of sead weaponry well get if any.
Eh i think kh38s would be fine. Kinematically they would be slightly worse than agm88 or better deoending on which source gaijin take for the max speed. And things like kh58 would be op by virtue of war thunder simple modelling, on paper kh58 can go close to mach 4 that alone would make it fairly op in war thunder.
the issue is the engagement range , u would need ARMs to match the SAM’s range , or you would need to get extremely close to use any other type of missiles. yea but i also feel like kh31/58 may be over kill , kh31p uses an initial stage booster n switches to ramjet engine so it will maintain its speed for a long time and kh58 (modernized variant ) has wayy too much range for war thunder. i can see them adding kh31p which is the earliest ARM variant and would have the least range of other ARMs. but the issue is that a single flanker can carry 6xkh31s.
how many missiles would the SAMP/T get in war thunder ? 2 launchers = 8+8 + radar ? or can it carry more ? for the buk m3 gaijin can go for 12+12 + radar or 6+6 + radar.
Assuming Gaijin replicates systems currently in game, it would be 1 Radar module and 2 Launchers, so 8 + 8, and then a resupply, so 32 missiles

Only French jet that carries ARM is the Mirage F1 iirc lol, that’d be quite an up tier to deal with top tier SAMs.
For the rafale, it has to be stated that there’s some equipment that could help dealing with SAMs, such as the ability for the RWR to get 3D position of enemy radars and get a GPS/weapons lock on the target
Same amount as IRIS-T, so 32 as stated by SP_Sabre
