In bad weather CAS performs poorly too. When the stars align some of the better CAS can be hard to deal with at the Strela’s B.R. if a team doesn’t spawn interceptors, but the stars do really have to align to do well with things like the A-10 that some people in this post are complaining about.
Yeah thats absolutely true except arcade where bad weather is in favor of the planes thanks to the markings and unguided weapons. But bad weather doesn’t happen often, so it’s mostly like the picture below.
3 planes in 3 seconds :D
And it should go higher. It’s still BS.
In my experience, it does happen pretty regularly in ground RB.
Yeah. Ground RB and ground AB are different in this.
In the case of the arcade, I doubt whether it will help. In general, I think that the spawn point of planes/helicopters needs to be reconsidered. I also take Strela-10 to BR 11.3 and still have amazing results with it.
Try fighting something like an A-6E TRAM or AMX with the Strela or any Stinger platform, it’s completely impossible if they aren’t braindead.

It also costs 10 times as much SP to get into one of those planes with gbus as it does to spawn a Strela. If either of them come within your engagement range it’s a death sentence for them.
SPAA is a deterrent, not a win button. If you/your team wants to deal with the guy bombing you from space, you need to send a fighter against them. Don’t want to grind fighters? Tough luck. You have to grind tanks and spaa, I don’t know why you guys have such a complex over people who bothered to grind the air trees, you know, the ones that war thunder wouldn’t exist without.

These days you can even get helicopters, and with the shared research mechanic you don’t even need to touch other modes.

Yeah there is no excuse really.
“I want tanks to be OP without a counter” is basically what every one of these threads boils down to.
10.0 is good BR for strela. Remember that Ozelot is 9.7 and strela with much better missiles was 9.3, bc gaijin. So with this underperforming stingers (there should be 24G overload instead of 10G) it’s even struggling at 9.7.
I wonder why Strela is ONLY 10.0 considering that.
Strela-10 was 9.3 because before it did not have photocontrast and it takes some time to introduce new BR. Photocontrast made a huge difference in efficiency.
I would like to know what tank is going to be OP without air ;)

This crazy cancer needs to be 10.3 at least, I never see such kind of missiles lock a heli far from 5km, it makes most of helis under 10.0 unplayable.

Skill issue
Unironically
Saying from a player who never played Helis in RB and have over 200 kills on Strela.
How unironically and manifestations of vested interests

Weird how I see it all the way up to 11.7
Yeah it is a skill issue.
You’re too bad to spawn a tank and kill it.
Also boohoo a SPAA is able to effectively do its job.

The strela is definitely OP. If it weren’t in the russian tree it would be higher. Even if you don’t play CAS you should be able to tell that. If you can’t you’re just blinded by your emotions.
