  1. Hiya. I think there are a few minor inaccuracies with the GMLRS M31 rocket: - Burn time is too low. Right now it burns for 2.25 seconds, when sources show it's a bit longer than that (not sure how long exactly). It's at least explicitly stated as purposefully slower burning than the M26, which is 1.5 seconds. - The terminal trajectory can be unreasonably shallow at times as if it's performing a pull up manoeuvre, increasing it's ability to be intercepted by shorad. Near vertical terminal trajectory is one of it's key marketed features enabling it to hit targets masked within odd terrain or between buildings, albeit it is an optional trajectory. - The rear fins don't spin (I'm guessing this is just a limitation of DCS for now, but thought worth mentioning just in case).

  2. The IRIS-T SLM TRML-4D rotation rate is operating rather slowly. I'm sure there are IRL operating modes that allow for a slow rotation rate, but it would make sense for it to be modelled at it's highest known capability which allows for a track update rate of <1s, which obviously can't be achieved with the rotation being this slow even with the look-back/forward scanning. Hensoldt themselves no longer publicly state the rate, but an archived page does: https://web.archive.org/web/20241111032523/https://www.hensoldt.net/products/radar-iff-and-datalink/trml-4d/ It can also rotate at least noticeably faster in Hensoldt animated marketing videos: How fast exactly it rotates I'm not sure, but it should at least be fast enough to support the <1s track update time. Also supported by several secondary sources: https://armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/army-news-2024/germany-provides-6-additional-trml-4d-radars-to-ukraine https://www.aviacionline.com/hendsoldt-to-deliver-six-trml-4d-air-defense-radars-to-ukraine https://vpk.name/en/718027_capable-of-detecting-and-classifying-aerial-targets-the-apu-announced-the-delivery-of-a-new-batch-of-trml-4d-radars.html Thanks for reading!
