Short range missiles end ~20km.
Anything under falls within Short Range

hmm
well i want a second opinion
so it loses a few km for mobility?
or is that its effective range
im not sure
i only see 15-16-17km on a few different sources so im guessing max?
also yes
Well in WT terms short range is like 3-4km, but Gaijin definitely used IRL naming scheme.

ADATS is just old. Just imagine that on a top SPAA you have to visually, with your eyes, look for a target through the sight. Finding a target in the clouds or in the fog is unrealistic.

i mean it would be better if they fix stuff that i listed
im kinda pissed that the elevation is only 59 deg for the missiles
and that it should be 85 irl
If only CAS didn’t outrange those 20km by a large margin
There is no point in remaking ADATS, it is too old for the game. I will be ashamed to stand on this Reagan-era invention next to the Pantsir and CS/SA5 that will enter service in 2026. Gailzhin clearly does not like the US nation.
“Top-end AA” that still gets outranged by most CAS
IRIS-T SLS and the and the FB-10A sure are dangerous when you don’t get into their range.
yeah but they should fix it regardless
Yes, but this fix could put the US off getting a new SPAA.
It’s most likely gonna be a SLM launcher with SLS missiles. There ain’t no way they would give Sweden and China a sub 20km SAM while giving another nation 40km SAMs
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
