Max speed is supposed to be Mach 1.6
500 m/s = 1800 km/h = approx M 1.46

“Roland has a speed of 550 m/s and a range of 6.2 km”
“An upgraded missile which entered production in 1988 with speed increased from 550 m/s to 620 m/s and range increased from 6.3 to 8.5 km with maximum effective altitude increased to 6,000 m”
Right now Roland 1 is listed at 500 m/s while the Roland is listed at 570m/s
These values are ahistorical
Make a bug report if you have proper sources.
Im genuinely so tired of using the Roland. It’s cool, but HIGHLY ineffective. Beyond 3-4km the missiles just become unusable – it’s like throwing rocks against a jet, which is literally what it is. A Su-25 can do a single barrel roll at 4+km distance and the missile will lose control and fly away to space. How are they supposed to be competitors to the Osa?
It’s even worse for france - where Roland is your ONLY long-range option for air defence, and they also get the worst one. (Also the US.)
Don’t even get me started on the fact that, germany could avoid getting a copy-paste Osa if gaijin simply didn’t gut the Rolands.
Please, buff them. Specifically missile performance. And maybe give the French roland it’s historical launcher elevation. A “Roland 2” modification, giving Roland 1 access to lead radar, would also be nice.

Roland 1 is a short range anti-air missile, same as the VT-1 which is the top ground-to-air anti-air missile in France, being the second best missile in the second if not the best platform—Pantsir-S1 mobility is questionable.

You have literally zero experience with it.
I’m sure it’s a great missile in real life, however gaijin’s implementation of it is… not good.

Rolands have been powercrept and decompression could help there.
Also, Gaijin is allergic to AAs having the same range as CAS, so expecting some major buffs is probably out of the picture.
honestly the biggest issue is that it’s a roland 1 and not the 2. The fuckign 35 degrees of elevation is my main gripe. Anything comes close and you just cannot engage.
Is there any info on the AMX-30 Roland carrying 4 missiles ?
Saw this, and i can’t really see the chassis, but maybe that’s the german one ?
Anyway fixed elevation and radar variant when Gajin ?
it will be playable if Gaijin buffs the rolands to the one in Nuclear Thunder.
it already is, you just have to go to the radar menu and let the missile be automatically guided
Not good enough
They all technically can for one cycle, you start with 4 but the 2 extra one’s can’t be reloaded. It’s an upgrade they haven’t decided to implement, to my knowledge
