Buk-M3: Branching Out

What are you smoking?

Sampt has more range, and no radar ping, wnd a more missile with a better radar, buk isnt the issue

it has fallen down after the IRIST TEL got added.

Theyre both an issue. However, the Buk-3 gets to keep launching missiles after the control unit is killed. I don’t believe any other multi-unit SPAA can do that.

TanSAM Kai now, and soon Sky Sabre, have this ability

Big agree. They certainly didnt need a 70km reaching option. Nerf it down to 40km. Or go with an older model.

maybe they dont need to bc their game engine may limit the range

Its not a matter of seeing it, unless the radar on the control unit can only see out to a shorter distance. Which I highly doubt. If the radar can pick you out at 50km and you have a 70km missile, then sight/render distance doesn’t matter.

via the command vehicle that is outside the map, as you pointed out lol

if the missile cant get the range it is more or less that waht you want, besides 40km is more than enough for the ground map.

holy crap mach 2 at 72 km
that thing has way more range than 70km lmao
funny how russian stat card underestimate and NATO’s overestimate

Either give everyone else a comparable missile/system, or nerf the missile/change the model to the M2 which is 3km-45km.

rn germany is drastically overperforming… irist is by far the best missile system and has the best tanks, the buk3 wont change the fact that germany has the best tanks but only assures that the ussr has maybe a similar caliber spaa.

The IRIS-T only has a range of 40km. The M3 is 70km. Thats 10km away from doubling the range. Your argument is really because Germany “might” have a better tank and decent SPAA, Russia should get a far better SPAA? Okay, since the Abrams are worse than both, lets give the US their MIM-104 Patriot Missile System (PAC 2 Early) with a range range of 3km-160km. That way theyre competitive.

range of 40km is more than enough for the battle, so do not say its just not enough

Still dont need a 70km missile.

I pretty much said it doesnt matter if its 40 or 70km missile, besides the close range combat against jets is atleast as important right now as long range missiles/interceptions.

But it does matter because GRB doesn’t just have ground vehicles. They also have planes and hey guess what, the already stupidly OP Kh-38 is getting a range buff to what? 70km. So lets let the already OP missile and its throwers sit further back, where more than half the SPAAs won’t be able to reach. Hope this update is coming with a line of code that never lets Russia get France or Italy on their team. Because they no one will be able to stop the Kh-38 spam.

Kh-38 — missile dynamics have been adjusted, maximum launch range at low altitudes and average speed during flight have reduced, the maximum flight range has been increased to 70 km.” Read the first part of the changelog again

yep yep kh38 might be the best missile rn, but it will get nerfed a bit I think. and if its like any other fox3 its not harder to dodge than the IR guided irist…
