he meant it should have mach 1.3 throughout the flying phase probably
Well alr mb, but from the video you see, that even if the target flies in a straight line, it already has below MACH speed at just 12km. So why even use it? FlaRakRad will just perform way better

IRIS-T will perform better at closer ranges, specially while it still retains energy and since it’s FnF and IR guided they won’t know it is coming. But honestly, the performance at range is bafflingly bad.
And the funnier thing is, Russia will continue to play as if nothing happened. Because they are the only nation equiped with a long range standoff weapon, while everyone is stuck with slow AGMs and JDAM/Gluide bombs.
The combination of the increased spawn range and the GNSS buff to Kh-38 means that all they have to do is look for your radar, place a POI down, flank around the map and spam them at close range where they won’t have enough time to even react.
So top tier won’t change at all, and it doesn’t help that maps are too small for these systems to even be efficient in any meaningful way.
SLM and other systems are DOA.

and the “don’t stay in the same spot” argument doesn’t work anyway since the totally real warhead on the Kh38 will splash NATO sam from >100m away lmao
if anything this update will help kh38 users since NATO players will swap their vehicles for these things that are less effective and easier to spot/kill

They wont perform at better ranges. As long as enemy starts making sharp turns while the IRIS-T still goes up, they will 100% dodge it. Test it for yourself
And that’s not all! Ever since the Kh-38ML got GNSS , they can be launched from the airfield (while barely taking off the runway), without you not needing have a LOS on the target at all, and they will fly all the way from 15 or so km from the runway to the ground map, it is busted.
So this means people are gonna be launching these like artillery from the safety of their airfields XD

did they change that? the AASM with IR+gnss cant do that
because it’s IR + GNSS, try the laser one
yeah and the size of these vehicles narrows down the locations where they can exist
they can but they are way slower and easier to spot and destroy
Hey @Smin1080p_WT do me a favor and go correct SLM’s devblog from “range of 40km’s” to “barely reaches 20km’s before it falls out of the sky but is already nearly useless at 10km’s”, thanks. At least then y’all won’t be lying to the players looolll.

F-117 is pretty good stealth wise in ground SB.
does anyone have access to the SLM right now to look at the radar stats?
What u rly need to know?
everything
Aint got it right now, but just look up youtube video reviews and you will see stats
heh, too lazy for that, was mostly asking cuz i got the brochure for the radar
Cool, just like 80% of the people here, spoiler
Thats what we used for the Radar reports…
oh, nice, didn’t know the radar had reports, mb
There is an entire list of reports at the very top of this Thread.
