A moment of silence for the Strela

From someone who plays strela it is super broken, this spaa performs well even at top tier, it has basically 100% flare resistance. The fact that it was lower br than spaa with stingers is insane.

The fov of 9M37 is 1° in game,which means even without IRCCM, the missile’s anti flare capacity is better than most of IR missiles in game.

And it also has a IRCCM of 0.5° FOV.

And tons of cryers claim 9.3 is best spot for it.

9.3 is absolutely fine for it, just move the other SPAA down or make them more capable.
Just spawn a tank if you want to kill it.
What’s it going to do? Kill you with a light machine gun?

1.0 is absolutely fine for 81C.
Just spawn a tank if you want to kill it.
What’s it going to do? It doesn’t even have a machine gun

And, Starstreak is far too op in 10.3, It can pen my T-72’s side armor. It should be 12.0 because its better than panstir’s AA gun

Skill issue.

You have massive skill issue if you think the Strela isn’t still OP at 10.0.

Try and come up with a counter-argument that doesn’t involve pointing at playercards for once.

You have a massive skill issue if you think the Strela is OP at 10.0 when planes can just lob ATGMs from stand-off range outside of lock range.

The problem with the Strela isn’t that it was too good. The problem with the Strela is that no other major nation had access to a comparable SPAA at that B.R.

What planes at 10.0 are lobbing ATGMs from outside Strela range? This is a massive cope lmao. I see people using the Strela at top tier. It’s OP as hell, as standard for the Russian tech tree.

Absolutely, but that would create an intense amount of crying from CAS/helis when they are no longer able to switch their brains off and fly in a straight line over the battlefield to not get killed.
Playing against someone that has the brains to remain at stand-off range in SPAA is an experience in frustration.

I can shoot the F&F at strela from distance that it can’t do anything to me.

You know the A-10 exists at 10.0?

Maybe the A-10? But that thing is slow and thermals have issues picking things up at distances where you would actually take advantage of stand-off ordinance. Under anything but ideal circumstances for the CAS player, one strela can effectively lock-out CAS.

To the point, no one complains about the A-10 being O.P.

So you have a large, slow aircraft, with no optics, trying to guide in TV guided mavericks?

You have basically no experience in the A-10 compared to SPAA (your most played vehicle type). Spend more time in it and try using the mavericks “outside strela range” like you suggest, and then get back to me. I use the A-10A Late, and I can’t get a lock on anything outside strela range with the Maverick Ds…

The strela is only regarded as OP because the vast majority of people who use CAS and helis in GRB are on the verge of a coma.
The overwhelming majority switch their brains off and fly straight towards the battlefield to bring themselves within range of systems which they would have the advantage of range over.
I genuinely do not understand the affliction that ails them.

I have plenty of experience fighting A-10s in SPAA, and as I clearly stated which you have chosen to ignore and strawman another argument.
An A-10 at stand-off range at 10.0 is essentially untouchable by SPAA.
Next cope.

This is somewhat ironic, given you have very little playtime in CAS or Helis, but a huge amount of time in SPAA. SPAA are the only vehicles that you consistently have 2+ KD ratios in too.

I mean that’s just objectively false.

You know that after firing the ATGM You can fly outside of strela range?
