Then there should be two variants one with anti air fuse in anti air tree and a AT on TD line.
Pantsir has around double the anti-air performance of an ADATS
These are SPAA, they should not be used in an Anti-role
The SP cost for a Pantsir is 70 SP. The Spawn cost for a ADATS I think is 500 ish (could be wrong)
Every nation needs a better SPAA at top tier. Additions like AMRAAM launcher for the US. ASRAAM launcher for the UK. Etc etc would be ideal candidates for new top tier SPAAs that can compete with the Pantsir and actually have an SP cost of 70

You must be trolling to say this.
Lets see if it could even make it to the suggestions tab. Right now this is not even in the right section if anything it should be in machinery.
This vehicle is already in the suggestions tab in another post.
Like this one?

They are going to adding fuse control for things like the Vikhrs soon.
So why is this open?
AMRAAM is coming next major. Its a reasonable thread to explore the idea in more detail to come sooner rather than later. A suggestion doesnt mean it will be added soon. The Scimitar was on the leak list and that was suggested I think 8 years ago.
It also opens the floor to discussions for other nations, that may employ similar ARH missiles for air defence. Like Britain’s Sky Sabre.
Its better to keep suggestions threads clean of debates and tangents

ARH on SPAA is unprecedented
So was IR missile on an SPAA at one point time. Heck so was a radar and IRST
Just because we dont have any ARH on a SPAA. Doesnt mean that we shouldnt ever get ARH on SPAA.
The missiles are coming to the game. They dont even need to modeled. THey just need to mounted onto a new ground vehicle.

Yes but that was the natural evolution this is side grade to other SACLOS SPAA
MML would be a better pick for new USA SPAA
ADATS can just about hit a target at approx 10km. But most engagements are most likely about 8km. SL-AMRAAM would give them a pure SAM (so 70 SP cost) with an effective range of 15km. That is no small upgrade. If it was the SL-AMRAAM ERs thats 40km.
There isnt a huge amount of optiosn out there without dedicated radar units to provide tracking for a launch vehicle. Which is the common set-up for most western nations currently. Options like SL-AMRAAM are the perfect next step for a top tier SPAA for the US.
I also think Israel can make use of a similar system (and they ahve no 11.3/11.7 SPAA at all)
Im sure there are other nations with ARH SAMs as options for new top tier SAMs as well

The MIM-72G is very different to the AIM-9X, especially considering the POST seeker (also used by the FIM-92B and later variants among others) is missing the contrast range extension mechanic that it should have.
As described, the target tracking seeker of the present invention includes both IR and UV seeker elements. Accordingly, where a target may not be irradiating sufficient infrared energy to be engaged by the missile operating in its normal IR mode, the target may be tracked by the UV mode. The missile electronics can select the mode offering the best tracking information and are capable of switching from one mode to the other. As a result, cold targets or head-on targets can be successfully tracked. Also, countermeasures against one mode will not normally affect the operation of the other mode. In addition, discrimination against multiple targets and decoys with improved range and with a higher degree of background rejection achieved.
Targets which are clearly visible are detectable by a seeker operating in a visible UV mode regardless of IR target energy. The detected signal may be negative (a nonradiating target seen against a bright background) or positive (a radiating or reflecting target seen against a dark background).
Preferably, the seeker will initially operate in the visual contrast mode until an adequate IR signal is available to home the missile. If a sufficiently IR radiating target is present, the seeker may select and receive in the IR mode.

I will give you it uses a Stinger seeker but that’s not all bad as the seeker is not what holds the Stinger back but more is explosive mass and its G limit.
If this thing needs a ammo trailer then just use MML with a radar trailer instead
Then you should create a suggestion for it
I cant be bothered as I don’t main USA anymore and its MTB’s are too sad for me to grind out.
Ammo is not quite a problem, 4+2 can do enough job. and as I remember, ammo supply point in respawn point is on the roadmap.
