ELde 98 is the worst top tier aa and needs a buff

Statshark

I mean, gaijin allready said that China and Sweden will get an new AA on top of the Elde 98/CS5 not when, but surely soon

Moving it down wont help, the Type 87(c) is the same BR as the type 90 line up, the next line up Japan has is 9.7, and as funny as that would be, I don’t think its going that low, so it would still be 11.7 by default.

So because Japan doesn’t have a lower line up for the type 87 the Elde has to suffer? Isn’t that a bit unfair?

CS/SA5 is more of a support spaa though as its strength is intercepting munition and killing close low flying target. If you team it up with a pantsir or SkySabre that thing is a monser

As was confirmed by Gaijin, Sweden, Japan and China should get a new, top tier SPAA soon.
That means EldE days are counted (excluding the moment where you will still need to research it) .

I dont recall players intercepting munitions receiving as much points and SL as players that actually hit and kill enemy aircraft.
They also dont share the xp just because of the way the game is built.

IMO the value and usability of a SAM system is its ability to KILL the threat.

Calling it support is just hiding the fact that its… well, useless.

Ye of course not but if you intercept 6 AGMs i think your team will be greatfull

I disagree, cool that you can kill a jet but when they already fired the ammunition and killed 6 people in your team its bad. nice that you killed it but you had no value there as it already fired all its missiles

Trueeee and every scout drone is also useless. cuz ye support stuff is useless

So I guess US and Israel are gonna get left out with shitty SPYDER and CLAWS?

It seems so.

Prob

Seems reasonable

I think you’re missing the point there really isn’t anything they can get that can work in the game, not without pissing off players from a different nation.

Guess gaijin will add the 2x Elde launchers with the radar unit and call it a day.

They aren’t stuck with 12.0 spaa so gaijin is focusing on the current worst SPAA by range. I assume we will see Pateiot or so sometime next year as a replacement for the Joint project of Slamraam

Actually IRIS-T SLM is the worst currently. Update your views by reading a patchnote. WE’RE THE MISERABLE ONE, NOT YOU.

Also, might be a bit controversial, but I think that CLAWS is currently one of the best if not the best new SPAA. Yea it’s a luckluster numberwise, but instead you get a mobile platform that is easy to reposition and easy to hide, which makes you viable during current SEAD meta of GNSS weaponry. You also get a sure-kill radius with aim-9x and the ability to live even without a radar unit. It’s pretty good and currently the only SPAA I might struggle against sometimes.

CLAWS is 12.3? Its just as bad as elde and spyder

Doubt connecting 2 EldE launchers to an UndE 23 or PS 90 would warrant a top br spaa.
I made that joke before, but as i just said, as a joke.

Horrific take

Nah you dont, if you maybe used it u would’ve known

Honestly i expect the worse from Gaijin and cant expect anything less from them lmao

Yeah its definitely not the best but its definitely not the worst
