yep, smaller mass does not also equal less power.
It depends on the source used for the missile, and how the performance of the missile was measured in the report.
It should hopefully result in a overall buff, but if the missile exceeds reported spec then probably something else is getting nerfed
Not necessarily as less mass also means less inertia → faster speed loss during glide phase (if drag isn’t modified).
But: Less mass also means that the booster can be weaker to achieve the same acceleration and burn longer in exchange, making it a zero roundtrip all in all (except for the faster speed loss in the glide phase).
Overall I would say it’ll either be a nerf at long range, a buff in close range or a mix of both.
People don’t use the ah-64E? damn I be schizo then.
Maybe YOU only see those systems killing alot of people at TT,
sidenote 64E, NM, Z-10 and AMTSh-VN all use LDIRCM, not DIRCM. DIRCM is what’s found of the ka 52 for ex (used to be best IRCM system)

yep, but if missile can’t reach reported range, they would have to increase sustain time so that it reaches the required range
Are you sure the source you used is declassified? The Author you published from, none of his presentations are available to the public?
Tech mods are able to see that the presentation specifically states “unclassified”, so that isn’t a concern.
And if its unclassified, what is stopping you from posting excerpts in the report/here? Shouldn’t the community be transparent about sources to make it easier to understand?
They would have to reduce drag, but they’re always going on about a missile or a plane having low enough drag to reach their advertised range or speed with the given thrust being “unrealistic” or the famous example where it originated from originally: “marketing lie”. As if they’re aerodynamic experts, which they’re clearly not (looking at their MANPADs post).

Literally nothing besides the fact that the person who provided it to me went to a great effort to find this and asked me not to openly share it*.

Is there anything else that can be made out of this presentation? Like thrust phasing, maximum G overload, jettison algorythm? Simple yes or no is enough.
Maximum overload is simply just stated to be “>40G”. Maximum range for SLM is stated as >30km so that won’t help much. What could help is that minimum range is stated to be less than 1km “<1km*”.
Interestingly, maximum speed of SLM is stated as “>M3” so greater than Mach 3 rather than just simply meeting Mach 3. But all of this is forwarded to developers in that report.
That actually could help, but wouldn’t it be “<1km” then?
Oops, used wrong symbol, fixed, but yes that is what it says.

Sadly not, because In game Min distance is allready under 1km its at 700-800m depending on the Target + the >M3 also isnt new sadly, so outside of the weight one sadly nothing (Interesting) is in it for us
I just back playing this game several days, why this IRIS-T keep losing track or not track the target at all.
Ah alright, that complicates this, just to make sure i don’t bother the wrong person trying to obtain this presentation myself. Your source for this presentation isn’t Michael Masur himself or Diehl directly, correct?
You mean this? Where the missile flies “on rails” independent of its AoA because of this god forsaken “fixed double loft” behavior? (Hint: look at the AoA of the missile frame by frame, you will be surprised)
They accepted the “double loft” issue quite some time ago (after stating “the missile doesn’t double loft → not a bug” on earlier reports where you would have to be blind to not see it). They never acted on or, god forbid, fixed it since then. I have the inkling that they just accepted it to have their peace and quiet again but called this double loft “orientation phase” to justify its behavior, so they don’t see the need to fix a thing which isn’t brocken in their opinion.

Spaghetti code makes spaghetti trajectory, I don’t see anything wrong, let’s nerf NATO tanks even more, I don’t think French tanks ate enough unnecessary models
*here instert sad Leclerc*
