With the rest of the tech trees getting new SPAA, it’s time for us to discuss the BRs of these SPAA.
My perspective on this matter is the following:
12.0: This is the BR where CAS-SPAA balance seems to be strongest with the older SPAA.
So Pantsir, EldE 98, Tan-SAM, Spyder, and CS/SA5 are the vehicles I think exemplify what 12.0 SPAA should be.
Pretty much everything with 12 - 20km F&F missiles, and 16+km SACLOS missiles.
12.3: CLAWS offer a range increase over the aformentioned SPAA, so this BR should be for the 25km class of SPAA.
12.7: For all SPAA with a range of over 35km, I believe they should start at 12.7.
This includes at this time: Buk-3M, Sky Sabre, IRIS-T SLM, and FSAF SAMP/T.
Personally I think claws is more 12.0 material, the only real good missile it has is the 9x, the 120 c7 is not all that impressive and is easily notched
I agree with this, top tier SPAA especially let’s say your 11.0-11.3 most dont have good radars/rwr’s so you have no idea if you have an IRIS-T or god knows whats coming
