The proof that the Forums is biased for western equipment and nothing from the east should work and they’re obligated to use equipments from the 50s or older if possible.

The issue isn’t that the ADATS is old, the issue is that Gaijin refuses to put work into these beam-riding systems to make them perform more like their real life counterparts.
At this point I am absolutely sure that operating a Starstreak MANPADS IRL would be easier than guiding the Starstreaks ingame.

You know, in this specific instance given the limitations of the game and how the system is implemented, I think removing the flare is a mistake. It makes the missile impossible to see and I’ve found it effectively renders the machine useless to the degree I’ve removed it from my lineup.
So yeah, I think removing it was a mistake.
Did you know that in 90% of battles China and the USSR fight in the same team. Switzerland or Germany are also often with them. But now imagine that you are playing against the three strongest SPAA in the game. Then you can forget about planes and about victory.

Must be nice playing on those teams, 90% of times I’m sent with the US while playing China and they leave after 1 or 2 deaths leaving like 5 people to carry the game

Sweden :D
Imo the pantsir will still be king.
What makes the pantsir the top dawg isn’t only the ability to kill planes well, but its ability to also shoot down every single atgm that comes its way. Gl hitting any hammers or mavericks at distance with that thing up.
Although this thing might surpass it in killing planes, the pantsir will still be on top of protecting its team
The type 625e csn literaly do that even better with ahead lol
And german slm shoots stuff down before they can shoot a2g stuff

A biplane with a .50cal can destroy the HQ17 easily 🥲

Glad you cleared that up, I was scared for a minute that this thing was gonna be mid on release lmao
What do you mean?
Ah like the missiles would be “short-range” IR only and act like the LAV AD
Oh, i have no idea how the in-game vehicle and missiles will work, i was talking about IRL designations.
It will depends, Pantsir-S1 clearly will have faster response time but being a SACLos missile (in-game) would be technically inferior to the others if the new missile systems came with IR + ARH.
Hopefully Gaijin adds the capability of engaging multiple targets at the same time for top tier SACLos anti-air vehicles if they’re capable to, to be in pair with future ARH anti-air systems.
The pantsir, tor, and hq17 can all already engage multiple targets, though it’s not super practical.
While cool, given how useless the Type 81c is its hard to get excited about more IR SPAAs as they lack the range to be effective against CAS and this thing will most likely be ignoring them anyway because most players will be using it to shred MBTs.
Will this thing at least have terminal IR to actually get the full range from its missiles? or will it have that system removed like the type 81c?
The radar alone makes it more than “a little better” but that is far from being useful, that thing is complete garbage and the fact it was up tiered just shows how bad the average CAS player is.
When next dev?
SOON tm
