ADATS needs to be reduced in BR

As the title suggests, the ADATS needs to be reduced in BR. At it’s current state, it cannot effectively compete against 11.7/12.0 (and some 11.3) CAS.

Here’s why:

  • Poor Search Radar (only 20 degrees of elevation)
  • Can only track using IRST (needs full LOS, cannot track targets over clouds)
  • No TWS (cannot effectively transition from one target to another)
  • Tracer-less missiles (it’s good that the enemy can’t see the missiles, but so can’t you making guiding them difficult)
  • Restrictive missile elevation (sight is linked to the gun which doesn’t allow for tracking targets that are above you)

This is not to say that the ADATS has it’s up sides, the issue is that there is only a few:

  • high performing missiles against planes (good speed, maneuverability and beam riding)
  • multi-purpose (can go against tanks although struggles against any top tier tank)
  • has a cannon (good against lightly armored vehicles. poor against low flying aircraft. mediocre against helicopters)

these high performing missiles are stuck on a very terrible platform and it anti-tank capabilities are mediocre at best.

I’m aware that there has been bug reports made which would fix some things but we shouldn’t judge a vehicle on how it should perform but rather how it’s currently performing.

Reducing it to 11.3 would be ideal. 11.0 might be too low in my opinion.

This isn’t to say that other spaa at this BR shouldn’t be reduced as well. A lot of spaa at this BR are over BR’d.

what do you guys think?

In addition what would be a good 12.0 spaa for the US that’ll make it competitive like the Pantsir?

If ADATS should be 11.3, Type 81c should be 10.3 …

I find the ADATS to be pretty good, ive never had a bad experience with it tbh.

Well considering how versatile the 2S6 is and its at 10.7, I have no issues seeing it at 10.3 or 10.7 (depends how much better it is compared to the Strela).

As mentioned before, a lot of 11.7 spaa are over BR’d

well it ultimately depends how good enemy CAS is. when playing against the ADATS in my Su39 (or the Su24), I fire my agms at a high altitude. Because of the Kh-29’s angle of attack, usually it goes above the ADATS search radar making them unaware of the threat.

With that being said, the ADATS is definitely a threat once your within 6km which is why taking out spaa is my first priority. I’ve been doing missile jousting with the vikhrs and it’s been working well against rolands but I have yet to try it on the ADATS.

naw leave it alone
