Nickkerkwijk Posted July 29, 2020 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift. Posted July 29, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel Posted July 30, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex225 Posted July 30, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconPlot16 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I hope its not bad as bad normal SLAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted July 31, 2020 Share 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. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconPlot16 Posted August 1, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
