Like the title says, the discrepancies of SPAA between the 1970s bracket and the 1980s bracket is astonishing,especially regarding CIWS SPAA like the M163/Gepard and Shilka. in the 80s bracket the Gepard 1A2 and the ZSU 23-4M4 are pretty sleepy and the only kills they get is by using their IR missiles, while their interception rate can be defeated easily.
in the 70s bracket i basically see 70% of the killfeed flooded by either the M163 or the base Shilka destroying everything,from jets to munitions. They have around 50 % of interception efficiency which is 13.0+ level of insanity, especially considering in the 10.0-11.0 bracket very few munitions are guided and they’re not all perfect.
Like,am i supposed to believe that SPAAs with extremely basic radars (and for the M163,a 1.8km tracking radar with a whopping 2° of coverage) are able to defeat multiple munitions thrown at them,while their modern counterparts are failing to do so? Moreover, they are able to track you through trees,didn’t know the Shilka has a 30 MW radar capable of physically piercing soft materials and see thru them!
