that alone has made it perform better than BUK players

The weaknesses of the Buk are its large launch vehicle and underperforming radar. Adding a gap-filler radar could let it effectively suppress CAS,so they went ahead and released the SMSV instead.But the Buk really is hit or miss in actual combat. Then there’s the Japanese Type 03 Chū-SAM, and it barely hits anything at all.

MP is its only weakness, just like every other spaa that uses arh missiles. It wasnt a weakness specific to russia and yet they decided they needed an spaa whos only counter is to hope they dont know what they are doing.

They put a NUKE on a HELICOPTER???

twice in fact we did that, once for a actual bomb and another for a nuclear depth charge

The WE. 177 has an alternative fuse to allow for use as a nuclear depth charge…

First cluster bombs added to the British tree on dev server
CBU-58s for the Pig. Not Karinga, sadly

Gaijin added a bunch of bombs to different planes but none of the BL755 carriers are encoded yet

Seems like the cheeks are now weaker than the mantlet.

It can still stop up to 3bm42 but only on the upper cheeks while it goes right through if you aim closer to the turret ring.

What can mount the bl775 in the british tree currently?
