I am against it. Because China has one of the most powerful SAM systems after the USSR. Why give them even more powerful SAM systems?
You mean TOR/HQ-17?
Well it’s not hard to search about the problems of these VLS missiles’ in game performance…
And China have maybe 5 more SAMs like this CS/SA5(or PLB625E, LD630 or anyelse name you like)

Well, let’s take things in order.
TOR-1 is the most powerful SAM on its BR, its range exceeds 12 km, plus the speed of the missile, it can intercept missiles. HQ-17 is also the most powerful SAM on its BR after Pantsir. Now compare these SPAA with the US or Britain. This is where the real problems are.
The SAM in this post is just a MANPAD.
You’ve never even seen a tor have you. They’re sarh missiles that are modeled as mouse guided for some reason. They’re incredibly smoky missiles that give the enemy a launch warning meaning it’s completely useless against any plane that has an rwr or any player who has eyes, which leaves very few things that it can shoot at.
Might as well tell the enemy team in the chat every time your gonna fire.

I already met them when I tried to gain altitude in an A-10A and was shot down at a distance of 11 km.
we are getting the regular version now
notice how neither are 12.0… yes they are very powerful for the br’s they are placed at, but hq-17 struggles against everything at 12.0+ because of the slow speed (can literally be outrun by strike eagles and eft in some cases).
so cs/sa5 is very much needed as there is no 12.0 sam currently
