Because gaijin thinks that the Stingers are far worse than their superiority overengineered Igla and other versions of their MANPADS and SAMS.

This is more so a complaint about the unacceptable state of stingers.
But gaijin have made it clear that they refuse to buff them so that’s that I guess.
Actually that’s a lie, they gave it a +1G overload pity buff.
So you’re going to literally quote me asking you something, and proceed to not answer it, AND say that I’m deflecting? I think you’re projecting a little bit buddy.
Like I said, you don’t really play cas or helis much, so I don’t know why you think it’s so easy to be effective outside 5km at 10.0. Despite what you and ULQ say, seeing anything with 65Bs at 5km is difficult enough, nevermind to get an actual good lock. Nevermind in an A-10 which is basically a sitting duck for any anti-air. What other CAS at 10.0 has 5km range?

Going around screeching skill issue, pulling up stats and everything else you’ve been doing and then going “yeah bro I don’t really care about stats or playing seriously” when someone points out that your stats are far worse can be summarised in this image:

Like you said I have significant experience in SPAA and fighting CAS/helis so I am more than qualified to point out the factual statement that something like an A-10 can engage and lob ATGMs safely from stand-off range and be untouchable by any SPAA at 10.0.
I know this fact seems to hurt your feelings but I don’t really care.

What is theoretically possible isn’t what is reasonable or normal.

I guess we will see in a months time, but I’m sure the Strela will still be clubbing at 10.0. So yes it’s a skill issue if you think it’s weak at 10.0.

Pulling stats? I literally just said "you have much more time in spaa than heli/cas (true), and that you tend to perform much better in them (true). That’s it. I’m not delving into KD ratios like you are, trying to turn it back at me and insult me as an individual.
So you only see one side of the story. Thank you.
Why can you not show me a video of these 8km A-10 kills then?
So I say that you seem upset, and your response is to start aggressively insisting I have hurt feelings? Lol ok.
What in the name of the lord jesus christ is theoretical about this situation?
I have witnessed it on multiple occasions where an enemy A-10 has been one of the 0.01% that aren’t munching on crayons and played in this manner and I couldn’t even reach out to them with the stormer which has a longer reach than the optical seeker of the strela.
I have uptiered the strela to the russian 10.0 line-up and faced A-10s in it and once again the majority of them just fly into the battlefield and die but there is the rare one that does not and you cannot lock them.
Just because most CAS/heli pilots are windowlickers does not mean that they all are.

This leads me to believe that you aren’t moving when you see an A10 fire outside of stand-off range. When Mavericks are fired from that distance they don’t track moving targets 95% of the time. Just move or pop smoke and they miss. You’re arguing the A10 to death when you could’ve easily argued about A6 Trams dropping LGBs from high orbit which is an actual hard plane to counter.

Unless the vast majority of CAS/heli pilots learn to stop afking upon spawn in and flying straight over the battlefield then of course it will continue to perform well. Vehicles should not be balanced around morons that refuse to play in any manner other than holding W.
So you only see one side of the story. Thank you.
I see the side of the story where the situation I described happens which you are claiming it does not, are you okay?
Why can you not show me a video of these 8km A-10 kills then?
I don’t go around recording every little instance of gameplay in the event that someone like you comes and makes egregious lies like this on the forum. I typically don’t anticipate this level of clownery.

“No u”, cool I accept your concession.

Excuse me buddy, but I know how ATGMs work and how you’re meant to counter them.
Not every map has adequate cover and popping smoke works (if your SPAA even has it) but that doesn’t stop them from throwing ATGMs at other members of your team while you are unable to deal with them which is the bigger problem.

It’s funny to me that your only argument is “skill issue” for A-10 players. Even if we were to grant you the premise that the A-10s with expert play might present a problem for the Strela that isn’t aware of the A-10’s presence, the A-10 does not represent most CAS at that BR. What’s more hilarious is the fact that you’re claiming that the A-10 is OP. The A-10! Hahahahahaha
I’m failing to see how the simple concept of not flying within range of the enemy SPAA systems is “expert play”.
Where did I say the A-10 was OP?
Is it OP against SPAA systems of the BR and ground vehicles?
Yes, no shit.
Against air vehicles?
No.
I never said it was OP, I said it could hit ground targets without any viable retaliation to it from other 10.0 ground vehicles.

Seems like you’re saying it’s OP to me…
Did you fail to read what I just said or are you just acting dumb?

You don’t even really need cover legit just move 90-95% of the time they miss. I know exactly the situation you’re describing I play a lot of SPAA too but the reality is that mavericks are easy to counter especially off the A10 platform. You could’ve argued about LGBs or AS30Ls but chose the maverick on the A10 for some reason…
Let me get this straight, you’re saying CAS is OP and SPAA is underpowered, but also that only 1 in 10,000 CAS pilots is actually any good/a real threat to you?
Seems odd to me.
Except they are, and that goes for all categories of vehicle. Especially tanks.
I mean, you guys are the ones insisting that 8km kills from A-10A is normal with no evidence whatsoever. But I’m the clown right.
This is a very childish way to argue your point.
No, I’m making fun of your stupid “skill issue” argument.
You don’t even really need cover legit just move 90-95% of the time they miss.
This only really works if you have a fast enough vehicle and it’s a dice roll at best. Also doesn’t change the fact that once a competent pilot is aware that you are actively trying to avoid their ATGMs they just switch to killing your team instead.
I’ve stopped reading anything from you given that you’ve still not redacted your lies.
Continue to pretend that the strela is OP because you aren’t smart enough to stay at range.
Wasted enough time on you as is.
