ADATS, what Gaijin got wrong

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.

These brochures also mention the turret slewing to target. Maybe you can add this to your report

It has TWS., that is why i took radar lock in “”

It has an search radar target lock is done via optical and IR.

Do you know what Search radar TWS is?

Do you know what a radar lock is?

The radar is capable of ranging and locating targets. Guidance and target lock are via Optical system.

IR locking ground units is not a mechanic implemented in War Thunder (despite multiple tanks having it IRL). Probably for the better.

Yes, now do you know what Search Radar TWS is?

Radar feeding targeting data to while scaning. Something this radar can not do.
It can scan and range.

The Spyder would be nice or if they wanted to have a little fun could add the HVSD/ADAMS
