At long range*
Pantsir still beats it at close range (people on the SLM thread said 3km, ive managed to hit test drive helicopter at around 1.5km) , be it due to SLMs terrible lofting or fact Pantsir has guns to fall back onto lmao.
That is against a target coming toward you at M1+, actual minimum distance is 700m, i really think gaijin didn’t do the right thing adding the EldE98 at 12.0, but they did it because it’s supposed to be a toptier spaa update.
I think EldE is more like 11.0 material.
Ok but you can also fire 16 missiles…….without having to guide them manually.
So nothing really should ever get within 3km of you.
If only my radar could see trough the ground and buildings.
And the EldE98 is somehow worse at close ranges because it lacks DL, it just can’t cope with fast moving and maneuvering targets, by the time the missile turns its seeker on the plane is out of its FOV.

Most average Elde gameplay ive seen, cingrats in getting a camo with it cause i cant imagine playing ut that long lmao. Its kinda crazy how the Elde took the title for the worst spaa and the difference between it and the previous worst spaa is a nile long list lmao
It’s not my video, but yeah something needs to be done about the EldE, i suspect that maybe the seeker fov is too small and cant see targets properly but the replay doesn’t show that.
My favorite part is when basic Dazzlers stop IRIS-T

A treetop approach is pretty much possible, had chance to test it with morvran few days back.
Beside that SLM has same limitations to its radar as any other SPAA - it cant detect planes behind terrain or buildings.

Yeah ive been killing SLM’s with my J22’s because i can fly low (yes i occasionally fly props at top tier for silly stuffs, but for the JAS39A its been easy to mess up SLM’s ive also come on to a new trick that just iverwhelms the radar and so far unless you have good reaction time you can’t beat it, too gimmicky for real battles though.
Now another issue of the Elde is i often find it cant destroy enemy munitions as without datalink its a glorified heat seeker so any dumb bombs will still slip past you lol. 12.0 material for sure
Pradesh is honestly really good map for CAS imo, alongside Middle east and a few other bowl esq maps but maps like Alaska have also been decent for treetop bombing runs.
@Beeschurger figured you’d find this funny, teammates got mad at me not doing my job as SPAA but idc since i think i have 3 new maps to ban er well, i guess just not play on.
Nothing new with that lol
Now hills…hills are…a but much
Heres an H.35 for comparison on the same hill, 71hp not spaded missing the engine mod.

@Smin1080p_WT so why exactly has there been no word on a temp fix for this? Like additional ammo or idk, using actual tracks instead of the devs coating the Elde in oil before the match starts, literally any map with a hill, the Elde can’t handle 90% of them and to resupply it HAS to get to a point. It cant get to most points stealthily because it has to follow a road, and when ypu try to run away your conteols lock up and your curl in on yourself like im trying to role play as Ourborus.
Seeing how Ground RB history is filled with similar things happening, I’m not suprised at all.

They really need to take more care though and I forsee the adding of Gen 5s and IIR missiles becoming the exact same poop show.
Russia here is the R-74M, USA here is the 9X Germany here is the IRIS-T…
Italy and Sweden also use the IRIS-T or 9X
UK no ASRAAM, China…No PL-10, Israel no Python 5, France no MICA IR…We will get to you guys later…

if only swedes decided to pick different platform for EldE, one that is known for its ability to traverse harsh terrain like that of a swedens wilderness and was selected by multiple countries to act as transport for terrains where all other ground vehicles fail.
wait.
