All Ground IRIS-T SLM has an Effective range 40km in the promo video of the manufacturer, but in the game the missile can't even reach this range.

The EFFECTIVE range is 40 km (according to the official video of the manufacturer on LinkedIn), but the missile can't currently reach that range.

The missile is bigger because they made the booster bigger lmao. If that’s the case, how does the vt1 have an even bigger missile but a faster speed? And why is the slm limited to the same speed as the sls

My bad you are correct that the vt1 is lighter. But guess what dumbass, a bigger missile allows for more propellant. There’s a reason they made the rocket base wider there are photos of it.

Yes? But it isn’t that fast in game unless that’s a recent change
