Anti-air system needs a complete rework

Has any developer noticed that the new anti-air systems spot you the moment your wheels leave the ground? It makes no sense. They can even see you behind mountains when you’re flying a helicopter and trying to take cover — again, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Especially with helicopters, AA systems should struggle to detect them. Helicopters fly very low and often hover just a few meters above the ground, so they should blend in with the terrain. Instead, it’s like the terrain is completely ignored and they see you clearly anyway. This needs to be fixed.

Ahem 🤏Unclassified doc found on google.
Here proof radar can detect hovering heli.

Lol, wt doesnt even model the massive radar return of the blades, if something, they need a buff against helis

It cannot detect you behind obstacles like mountains, but the second you peek over that mountain it can detect you and send one missile towards you which usually lofts high up and comes down on you. So even if you were to duck behind cover that missile is still coming toward you.

Hmm, how it is possible that IOG+DL missile with terminal IR guidance is effective against low flying planes?

Press X to doubt.

Not to mention only iris-t slm can do this reliably

Skill issue

I wish mine did that, unfortunately its so short if theres a fence its blocking my radar. But dont worry moving from spawn basically isn’t possible and it has only 8 missiles (with the box) so its not a threat.

Not really

That literally only 1 AA the IRIS-T SLM it can hit you before you even take off or hiding behind the mountains it a miracle… even the Pansir can’t do such thing. Other AA are fine.

turns out extremely advanced multi vehicle AA system is very powerful
it’s actually underperforming in war thunder

IRIS-T killed me when I was behind a mountain…The Radar being able to see through terrain is nothing new. Pantsir does it sometimes too.
