Nickkerkwijk Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Hello, i can't really find out how the SLAM-ER is different from the normal SLAM missile when it is controlled via Datalink. I read that the ER has much better range and is very accurate, and it is also controlled via the same AN/AWW 13 Pod. Does this mean that the ER has the same blurry/bad image quality as the normal SLAM at greater distances? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Swift. Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 No, the ER should have a much better data link connection. It uses the same DL13 pod, but the transceiver on the missile itself will be much better. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2

Weasel Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Dang... here I thought we had the SLAM-ER already...Not yet. We actually only have the AGM-84E SLAM missile, the SLAM-ER will be added later

Vortex225 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Not yet. We actually only have the AGM-84E SLAM missile, the SLAM-ER will be added later I was sad to learn the community ranked it so low in the recent roadmap poll (#10 IIRC). Even the current SLAM is crazy effective, and the -ER will make the Hornet even more enjoyable and lethal.

I like to think that people are slowly starting to realise hornet is so much more than a sum of its weapons. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
Tom Kazansky Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 I hope its not bad as bad normal SLAM. Me too. If it wasn't improved you could counter it with a remote garage door opener at that range. ;)
FalconPlot16 Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Me too. If it wasn't improved you could counter it with a remote garage door opener at that range. ;) And also i hope we dont have to follow missile until it hits. Otherwise normal SLAM's video feed is almost unreadable.
