Yeah it was from an article when the brist gave some ground launched ASRAAM to Ukraine.
The commander of the SAM said that it has around 10 miles of range.
It also seems pretty realistic since the MICA IR has 18/20 km max range and the ASRAAM has a bit lower range.
Welp, time to retarget this thread.
Given it’s only the second blog, I could very well see more than just the IRIS-T being unveiled in this patch.
Not mentioned in by the OP or the devblog, but the IRIS-Ts seeker lock range is equivalent to its aerodynamic range:
So it should never have any issues with lock range in-game.
We’ll have to see, gaijin has a track record of ignoring seeker lock range on bug reports and proper sources. See AIM-9M, FIM-92, Mistral and etc.
Exactly, like I want my 18km head on lock range for R27et
Its not
Python 5 have upgraded airframe based on the python 4
Its also lighter
yeah frankly i’d expect it to be about 20-22km
Well there we have it, the first incarnation of the IRIS-T’s stat card
I wish they started listing the IRCCM Methods in the statcard instead of Yes/No, would be interesting to know
For some comparison
So whos gonna make the Bug report about Gs?
And lock range
Is there any source for it having a higher G load than that? I’ve not seen one.
There are only footages that seems to be pulling an impressive amount as I know, but videos cannot be viewed as a report heh.
Only a statement from a Manager that works at Diehl Defence that it turns in half the radius than a R-73
With the IRIS-T having more speed than the R73…
But doesn’t motor thrust also drop off then ramp back up specifically to keep the speed lower immediately after launch for doing super tight turns?
Last I heard the motors of IRIS-T allows for lower throttles which decreases the minimum radius. Further there’s a NATO source stating 50G
Is it true that there will be Aim 120C?
Yes some AC will get them
Great… but I-Derby and Python 4 still nothing, maybe the SPYDER will have them, that would boost morale.
there is a place holder python 5 rn on the spyder
we will see next week how they will model it
