I was sure the EldE was the only big loser of this update (In terms of SPAA), I couldn’t have imagined how bad this system would be, especially after they gave it AHEAD. Nothing like a 12.0 SPAA not being able to lock and fire at drones till 7km, and even there it just might not fire (Even while locked), killing drones safely before they can obliterate you, should be the bare minimum of being above 11.0.
Shooting down anything is a monumental feat with this vehicle, it’s IRCCM feels almost nonexistent and 20g’s of pull mean it can be easily dodged by anyone paying attention, it loves to just make itself miss completely by launching to the stratosphere, and either coming down wrong or not at all. The radar refresh rate is also fucked and doesn’t match the antenna rotation speed which might be causing some of it’s problems.
And to top it off they had the fucking audacity to give this thing a stock grind
TL:DR Don’t waste your time on this thing till they give its missile the proper guidance it has irl, better yet, stay at 11.0 where you have a fantastic lineup and a functional SPAA
I don’t play either tree for good reason, but frankly if next update all they’ll get is a C tier SAM like China and Sweden did they might as well jump ship and play a tech tree that respects them enough to not give them half-baked or DOA garbage
