Britain SPAA Voids - what could be added?

Correct

I would elaborate more, but brochures are under ITAR, and i dont want to get into any trouble.

The Type 11 is also able to work standalone in a similar manner to the Type 81(C).

Tracked Rapier
Laserfire
Stormer AD
Shorland S.53
THOR/MMS

Stormer HVM (l) [with LMM or Starstreak Mk 2]
Warrior VERDI-2

It seems i forgot to post it here.
Well, Let me present to you, a Flakrad/ITO equivalent we can get:

Not sure we need high tier SPAA what we do need though is mid tier AA as the UK tree goes from the Skink at 5.3 to the Falcon at 8.3

We need something effective that would fit inbetween those BR’s…the Skink is painful to use above 5.3 xD

I mean, our top SPAA is at 10.3, so i would say yes.

Well, that hole was not originally there, but it needs filling for sure. The question is with what?

I guess that is one possiblility

Ratel with twin 23 armed rcws

I was also thinking something like a rover with a blowpipe might just be bad enough for 7.0 ISH

This is the Ratel armored infantry fighting vehicle with a 20mm cannon made by Cameroon.

This version of the ratel was an upgrade requested by Cameroon as they modernized their military. The vehicles are being provided to the BIR as part of a bilateral agreement between Cameroon and South African governments.

The upgrades include new armor, advanced weaponry, and cutting-edge communication systems.

There is also another version of the ratel made by Jordan that has twin cannons, BAU-23x2.

Description:

The module’s main armament is two 23-mm automatic guns 2A7M with a rate of fire of 850 rounds per minute each, a range of fire – of 2000 m, and an ammunition load of 200 projectiles. Additionally mounted a KT-7.62 (PKT) machine gun with 2000 rounds.

Module control – manual. Provides for laying in azimuth – 360 degrees, in elevation from -4 to +55 degrees.

The module provides for reliable protection of the gunner up to 12.7 mm ammunition. The gunner is seated inside the hull and, in additionally to the armor, he is protected from the upper hemisphere by armament, which is arranged above. Additional protection is ensured by the smoke screening system, consisting of six 81-mm smoke grenade launchers, three at each side of the module. The smoke screen is set in the gun-laying direction.

We’ve already got Khalid in the game so another Jordanian vehicle wouldn’t be out of place and am hoping it would be a slightly more stable platform than the Bosvark.

Another potential add is the Warrior VERDI-2. This is another instance where there are many of the assets and parts of the tank already in the game and would not quite be a copy-paste but still similar enough that it would be easy to implement.

The VERDI-2 is an experimental variant of the Warrior which has a crew of 2, a rising commander sight which allows it to observe the battlefield without exposing itself

I would suggest this be put at 10.7 since it has a better overall performance than the Stormer but is not better to the point of putting it at 11.0. If they added it they could put it in a folder with the stormer or they could make it a separate spot. Another option would be to downtier the stormer to 9.7 make the VERDI 10.3/7 and move the Stormer to Rank VI.

Verdi-2 looks lke it would be a LOT of fun. Might even help augment our rather poor light tank line up at the same time. Its the perfect addition

I fully think the Falcon could be downtiered to 7.7 and still be balanced and effective. There are 2 large problems with the British spaa.

  1. There is a gap between the skink and the falcon.

Solution: move the falcon down in br or add a spaa that can fill that gap, and is more effective than the skink (the bosvark is better than the skink)

  1. The British also need a spaa that has sams. Every country in the game gets sams at 9.something (Generally 9.3, except for Italy at 10.0 with the SIDAM 25)

Solution: Add a tank like the Alvis Ltd - Stormer Air Defence (my favorite spaa, also would be a simple addition because both the cannon, the hull, and the sams are already in the game). They could also add something from the South African army and get more diversity in the British tech tree.

or a rover with a LML Javelin

Just imagine darting about the battlefield in a rover :D

But yeah, Avlis air defence would be good

Personally, I reckon get rid of the APDS off the Falcon, drop it to 7.0, and give the ZA-35 a slightly more punchy round (if such thing exists)

7 Likes

Sure does
To explain it a little further, ZA-35 in game uses standard Oerlikon shells. It could use them, but irl it did not, it uses local custom shells. The only that could be said to be correct is HE-T, custom ones were HE, HE base fuze, SAPHEI, APCI-T, and there is a possiblility it had AHEAD during its last years of testing but no hard proof as of now.

Base fuse is SAPHE

No. Im going to use standard Oerlikon to showcase it, as they are not cutouts of Denel PMP ammo.

You can see that SAPHEI has a much thiccer shell
