Modeling of SLM is so wrong that I would not be surprised if they were just phishing for classified information like engagement envelope. After all SLM is one of the key air defense assets for Ukraine.
Just look at the missile it has at least triple internal volume then the SLS, considering the warhead and guidance section are more or less the same it practically means triple size of the engine.
Also with triple of the volume SLM wont be just 150kg it is more plausible that the weight is around 240kg as claimed by some sources.
BTW I’m quite sure that weapon performance including effective range is standardized by STANAG.
I don’t want to be a killjoy, but you’re wasting your time here
gajin is perfectly aware that the missile is not limited to mach 2 and does not need any of your sources .
a simple 5 minutes search on the net is enough to have the information
With all your rejected bug reports, you should understand that it is not your will that will change things.
When gajin will be decided a point it’s all
Question regarding DIRCM on the helis: If multiple missiles get fired at said heli do they all get distracted at the same time/in parallel? If yes, then that’s a conceptual error made by the devs as a DIRCM can only focus on one missile at a time by design (it only has one laser on the helis). But I would expect they also want sources for this simple train of thought or rather basic understanding: I have one laser pointer which can only point at a single target at a time.
The last picture of sensor view of an IRIS-T SLM missile being distracted by a DIRCM was even like the missile loosing target and turning instead of switching to INS/IOG+DL the moment it registers it is blinded. So even a hovering heli is save which is kinda stupid.
Maybe dont add a system in a blatantly overpowered and completely broken state if you dont have it working properly and dont intend to have it working properly anytime soon?
2688kph is 746.67m/s, 9X currently has a max top speed of 780m/s. All current in-game IR SAM’s have a superior hard coded top speed compared to the new ones being added, barring the Igla, Stinger, and HN-6, all 3 of which are tiny MANPAD missiles. The Mistral is actually has a higher top speed than all new missiles being added…
Btw, does anyone have sensor view footage of the SLS pre-speedcap? The raw numbers seem to indicate the SLS likely has the thrust to push itself near or past M3.0 from a standstill, seeing as the 9X allegedly has a lower dV than it and makes it to ~M2.21, but the artificial speed cap it was given is likely whats preventing it from doing so (instead of gaijins pretend reason that its not air launched, so it just cant)
because they’ve always claimed that equipment isn’t nerfed or buffed in unrealistic ways
this allows them to hide behind the reporting process, which is where the magic (balance and bias) happens
I posted the initial page of his source being from 2008 , the missile had 60g overload before they accepted his source from 2008 and there were no comments in his claim , what do you mean
HA! They locked the bug report cuz they didn’t wanna deal with people calling out their stupid decision? xD
@Gunjob you guys have some absolute clowns handling the IRIS-T SLM situation, willingly ignoring the OEM statement on the seeker capabilities simply due to the fact it states something inconvenient to gaijins stance on their magic DIRCM forcefield for the russian helis. Too bad the other tech mods and devs dont share your standard of care for bug reports.
Ah yes, I’m aware of that , I named the post the same as his just in case and not sls , none of this makes Any sense at all since in the claim of the original dude it’s not even about the sls or Slm but the air launched one but ofc they took that as an opertunity to nerf AA, even if it “only” affected the sls
Still , tested overload isn’t the same as max and there are sources claiming more than 50 g talking of wich you could also agree then if the air launched one can. Reach Mach 3 so should the surface launched one considering how drag works at high speeds, if a missile gets to Mach 3 launched from Mach 1 the missile also wouldn’t have much issue going very close to Mach 3 launched from 0
This is where it actually differs because test parameter differs. Air Launched can mean being shot at Mach 1 at maybe 2.5km or something with only that conditions allowing it to reach Mach 3
It is physically impossible for it to reach mach 3 at 0/0 not only because of air resistance, but that missile uses up most of the energy just climbing.
SLM can possibly reach it because it has a huge booster section. Have you found primary or maybe even secondary sources that supports the claim of Mach 3? Feel free to use it
Because most of the claims I saw for it are from 3rd party websites (tbf I wasn’t looking hard enough)
