Pantsir has guns and is very often used offensivly. They can shred western tanks from the side and disable them with this multi barreled hellfire in no time from any direction.
Thats why its stats differ to pure SAM vehicles which just sit back far behind the lines.
Also keep in mind that non russian nations rarely spawn jets or helis anymore. Who is really willing to spawn 850points to get just Pantsired at spawn. Pantsirs dont have that much air targets to shot anymore. While non russian teams face far more targets, maps are flooded which Suchois and Kamovs.
At this point, I am hoping the US gets the captured Pantsir they got from Libya with all these new SPAAs coming. If this is what we can expect from the rest of the upcoming additions, then the status-quo remains and renders additions like this DoA.
Unique layout, as the missiles are located on a trailer LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
The vehichle has the engine in front but all four tracks are powered. and the rear compartment isnt a trailer. its a tracked articulated all terrain veichle. its meant to be able to go EVERYWHERE. and it turns by turning the middle part of itself. the front part cant function without the rear part.
germany doesnt have any IRIS-T SLS systems, and i doubt we will get the IRIS-T SLM systems any time soon since they would have 40km range instead of 12km
Skyguard or quad FlaRakRad with HFK/KV missiles would make way more sense, shoving the pantsir in the german tech tree because some german truck carried it once is ridiculous
I also think Ger might not get any Iris with that update, besite its a German development from Diehl Defense. As well as production. As Sweden got the ITO90 as SPAA, France got it as well. SInce its a French development. Despite France never operated the ITO.
I see that in this case Gajin is not willing to get it to Ger as well. Despite Germany owns the missile / radar tech (and also operates these Bandwagon 410 in other roles).
