but IRIS-T SLM is capable intercepting those missiles IRL
I’m sure it is, and does so with great effectiveness in real life.
The problem are two fold - 1) saturation. Sure, it may get some or all of the missiles but then you’re reloading and get hit by another guy doing the same thing. 2) only one nation will have that missile.
The Swedish one might be able to do it, but it only has 4 missiles (8 with an ammo box) so the saturation is even easier and its range is much reduced. One su-30sm is capable of depleting its missiles and still having two of its own left over.
Fundamentally, these things are not able to be balanced in game. There’s no shame in admitting they were a mistake and removing them.

will see how they gonna implement buk systems those gonna have all stats they have IRL and better
Maybe so, but that will be a Russian system so won’t help everyone else unless gaijin do something disgusting like giving the Indian buk to Britain.
The new Sam systems are a sticking plaster in a gaping chest wound. Systematic changes are required.

I switch to ir lock and fire when they are in range
Works alot of the time and u still have time to intercept anything that isnt kh38 but even then its not extreamly hard just need to be aware
Why is having TO only mode considered stealing another mode.
Players want to play combined arms? They pick that mode.
Players want TO mode - they pick that one.
No stealing. Both modes available. Give the people what they want.
(Oh wow - I responded to a really old post. oh well)

Even a certain other game nerfed the mechanic that could kill you with no counterplay because surprise surprise: It isn’t fun
Seems we need to continue “enjoying” it though
From my experience, playing actual CAS I.e rocket pods and dumb bombs, is next to impossible in top top tier due to how developed AA is. If you get 1 kill with let’s say MIG-29, then you’ll be lucky. Maybe it’s a skill issue. But, this is from my experience.
In my opinion, guided bombs and TV guided missiles should cost a ridiculous amount of points. While, dumb bombs and rocket pods should be cheap. But, if this gets introduced, the AA should get a nerf.
When it comes to helicopters, them speed diving to the side and doing a flip is ridiculous and likely unrealistic.
So… I wasn’t involved in that back and forth, but in back-reading it appears most of that was tongue-in-cheek. But I could be wrong.
All that aside I think there’s room for combined arms mode and TO mode.
CAS would be a smaller problem if Gaijin could be arsed to give all nations thoughout the BRs some good anti air capability, instead of spoonfeeding the same nation AA upon AA while others gets a shrug and a “we are aware of the problem and we will fix it soon™”
