Maybe a moderator can hand that off to devs? @Gunjob ?

Sounds good to me!

Where do you get this?
All technical moderators who handle bug reports are hidden behind that title. It’s not just one person most of the time.
Because army technology is just a third party website. Not something we accept as source materials.

ADATS already has that locking functionality.
Though there are other issues with ADATS that need addressing.

Slideshow | NASM.1997.0014_ref7197 seems like a reliable source, does it count as a primary or a secondary though? It’s by Oerlikon so in theory it should be a primary source… right?

Not for locking ground units

The second source looks to have directly from the manufacturer Oerlikon.

You would need to suggest the whole Datalink thing,
Right now all of the Japanese SPAA’s in same that had it lack it. I guess that also means the US ones also lack it.
Should it even be suggested, honestly no, it shouldn’t even be a bug either. Should have been in on day one but considering none of these things are ever on day one. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ sigh…
Which doesn’t matter cause we have mouse aim.
Nothing in War Thunder has that BTW.
Found some more info

Adats has a -9 degree to 85 degree elevation range
This source says it has a max g of 35 so I edited initial post

or it should just drop to 11.3 or 11.0 the new 93 osa nd 2s6 are the same 10km range missile while osa 93 is arguably the best 4 spaa in game because even at 7 or 8km the missile is very responsive unlike adast or 2s6( pansir s1 itom90 type81c tv1 top 4) while both 2s6 and osa 93 at 10.3/10.7 10km range like come on yes its was 900mm but its spaa not tank destroyer USA real life will use it in that way

The OSA missile is slow af and has a huge smoke trail, in comparison to the adats it’s lacking the ability to not allow CAS to react to an incoming threat, that being said they need to change the adats gunner sight to be linked to the missiles and not the gun so it can actually look vertically like the Canadian version. (the adats missile smoke trail was bugged) i dunno if it’s fixed. Honestly i think the adats is a 11.0 spaa being forced to fight 12.7 aircraft. Most nations need better systems in place imo.

The elevation issue with the US adats is because for some stupid reason the gunner sight is governed by the 25mm gun… Even tho recently they allowed the missiles to elevate fully the sight is still stuck at like 65° meanwhile the Canadian Adats has demonstrated the sight can swivel vertical. With the US one you have to guide the missiles in 3rd person with is just a hamstrung way of doing things in game considering it’s counterpart can already do it.

“Radar lock”, that is TWS, was already reported. It can track 10 targets at once iirc.
You have to visually lock air targets with the adats. I play some spaa at 8.7 that “auto” locks onto aircraft once the search radar sees it. U.S. needs a dedicated spaa at top tier.

That’s with all IR tracking systems, including Pantsir’s IR tracking mode.
Also all 10 tech trees need SPAA for 12.x, not just USA.
I hope SPYDER with Python 5 is soon so Gaijin finds out how balanced it is.

I think he’s talking about the turret slewing to the target, which is indeed missing.

I assume so too, and it indeed is missing. Most TV/IR SPAA/ TV/IR track SPAA could cue their lock to radar, but Gaijin does not belive so for some reason.
