I liked the part where the second A-10 spawned in and predictably flew straight to the battlefield to get slapped out the sky by the SANTAL who in turn could do nothing to you because you were not flying within his engagement range.
Good video though, I personally wouldn’t have wasted the time disproving such a blatant lie so props to you.
Couldn’t do the video faster as first work, second I needed to get used to playing top tier again.
But video proves what I was saying to be true, who would have guessed
What’s even worse that was a lock on a moving target from ~8km with a missile perfectly following the target and making a kill, all the while being almost untouchable by AA.
It makes it even better for the case I have made :D
But I’m sure Strela would shit on you from 6-7-8km away, it’s after all a 11.0 SPAA according to some people intoxicated by IRL hatred and bias.
Most aircraft at that BR with guided ammo are simply dirty.
I would argue that the skill issue is the strela player sitting in the open to allow this, only a few planes use agtm in the first place but i always hide behind cover until i see a plane.
Right cool story, and the maps that don’t have any reasonable cover like stains of sinai?
Or how about the point I mentioned about that still not solving the problem that you are functionally useless while someone that isn’t a moron throws ATGMs at the rest of your team?
No, the skill issue is with the morons that have the advantage of being able to fire unmolested outside of the enemy SPAAs range yet willingly choose to fly into range for absolutely no reason, get shot down and then complain about OP SPAA.
Even aside from all that what does anything you said have to do with people complaining that the strela is OP at 10.0?
Is a SPAA sat out in the open when there is cover reasonably available dumb?
Obviously.
Are CAS/helis that have no reason to move into SPAA range dumb for moving into it and dying?
Also obviously.
We’re talking about the fact that an optimally played strela at 10.0 is going to do nothing to a somewhat competent A-10 (10.0) or aircraft with similar or greater capability so calling the strela OP is a stretch.
No explanation was required…
Clear skies, good contrast, literally no buildings or cover, a full-time spotter, and no enemy players smart enough to fly planes. Not sure you proved what you think you proved, but I’ll grant you that the A-10 can perform well under those circumstances.
Jesus Christ the cope.
Guy provides a video completely disproving the inane bullshit being spewed and instead of just having the integrity to say you were wrong you pick-up the goalposts and start moving it to a new grid square.
This is why I don’t bother proving people like you wrong, you will never admit it anyway it’s simply a waste of time.
Well you have made it abundantly clear there is no point continuing any further communication with you, have fun coping.
Where did I move the goalposts? I literally began the conversation saying that the problem is that the strela is the only SPAA with its capabilities at that BR. I literally quoted myself for you XD
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?
