I’ll do it again…

So far I only seen like a few, probably less than 5 players use the A-10 in this manner out of the hundreds of games I had. Only once one of them remained 10km+ but didn’t score a single kill with it cuz he knew the a Type 81 C was up, which was me, and kept a 10km distance from me. I fired twice but no kill as he flew away. I waisted his time and I continued killing other jets as i kept an eye on him. Other games on Type 93, well I couldn’t do much to it and needed a jet to reach that thing but this was waaay before they fixed the Type 93s locking bug/adding photo-contrast. Even now i still have yet to see another player do this. Most just fly over the battlefield just to get shut down.

Just because people refuse to use the vehicle in a right way doesn’t mean the “counter” for it is effective and valid.
Fair enough, seems the 65Bs have much better zoom than the 65Ds.

Definitely makes those shots possible. Standard GJN pay to win antics. I agree A-10A early should be uptiered to 10.3.
This doesn’t change that the Strela is still too strong for 10.0. Missile range is not the only defining feature.
If strela was too strong for 10.0 then air wouldn’t be able to take it out from outside of its Effective range

You listed one example, the A-10 early, and I agreed that should move up to 10.3 or higher.
One premium CAS plane being undertiered isn’t an excuse to have a busted OP SPAA at 10.0.
10.3 or 10.7 would be an appropriate BR for the Strela.
Effective range is also not the only important consideration.

That thing sitting only a single BR step below Type 81 would be a joke.
Indeed, having no radar whatsoever or thermals is a major downside.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s still leagues ahead of what everyone else has access to.

Other things could be easily brought down by a notch.
Seeing how even Strela can struggle against CAS is just a proof other, worse IR platforms shouldn’t be able to see things that bring even the almighty Strela to it’s knees.

So now should we talk about guided bombs which can be used by 8.7 air vechicles and dropped from outside of SPAA Effective range?
I don’t see what that has to do with the Strela.
You said:
so, I have told You that there is more air vechicles who can destroy Strela from outside of its effective range.

Guessing your talking about the A-4E Early with AGM-62A Walley I at 8.7? So far only the US and Israel have them and I took them down with Type 93. So many don’t pay attention due to looking for targets as they get closer. What’s their max range? Cuz I have yet to see one far away from its range.
EDIT: without Type 93, if F-4E is used at downtier 7.7 then im stuck with using just the Kikka & with no Radar SPAAG which has happened. Then again, I don’t have a 7.7 line up so will hardly happen. Most of the time Radar SPAAG will always be with me and R2Y2 is mainly used to counter that jet or any jet with that kind of weaponry until I have the Type 93 in my line up. Strela did the same, but now that it’s 10.0, Gaijin needs to add a SAM equivalents to the Type 93/Ozelot with 10G missiles in order to be in the 9.0 range.

And you have been told that maximum range is not the number one defining feature.
The best counter for CAS will always be a fighter of your own. It’s meant to be “realistic battles” after all.
I’m not talking about maximum range but effective one. Just because most players don’t understand how game works and that they shouldn’t fly in a straight line doesn’t mean that strela is OP at 10.0.
If an air vechicle can fly outside of the SPAA effective range and destroy the said SPAA and other ground units, it means that SPAA is not effective enough.
We are talking about Strela here.

thats overkill, 10.0 is fine where its at and still capable.
Technically, they have a glide ratio of about 20:1 so is limited by the altitude at the time of release. and can erroneously lock onto the ground at something like 20km, but will lock onto vehicles at 6km i think.

I would need to test it out really, as I mostly used ATGMs for close combat ;)
Every aspect of the game is balanced around what the average player does, at least according to GJN. You might as well complain about that policy.
Wrong, that’s not how SPAA or the game is balanced.
You’re crying about CAS vs SPAA dynamics, actually.
I’m always talking about what can be done.
So tell me how is that wrong?
By pointing out things and providing evidence for that?
lmao, You are the one crying about Strela being OP and being wrong about the range from which weaponary of air can be shoot from.
Just because You can’t fight it, doesn’t mean it is OP.
