No they can’t.
Other than the fact that you’ll rarely see a HQ-17, it sucks at short to medium range.
The Vt1 slingers are the only ones that can intercept them consistently but because of it’s terrible situational awareness, it’s easy for them not to notice that a kh-38 is coming towards them.
Everyone else just sucks. Don’t believe me? Use the ADATS in top tier.
“how about all those situations the matchmaker doesnt put russia against russia?”
“Well just hope you got put together with china bro”
intentionally dishonest.
If you manage to get your own plane that close through enemy air and HQ-17 itself.
Literally a skill issue of AA player.
Everyone else or ADATS? ADATS is issue of US not making proper self-propelled missile AA.
Well, you asked the question about situation in which matchmaker doesn’t do RU vs. RU. I responded that it does RU vs. CN. And you purposefully ignored the part in which you can still, in fact, shoot down missiles. Idk who’s dishonest here, actually. Or you can force the matchmaker to do RU+your nation or CN+your nation.
which is not that hard to do. Just hug the ground, pop up, launch agms, and they’ll have trouble intercepting them.
Then you don’t understand why it has terrible situational awareness. It’s search radar scope is only 27 (18 for the flakbus) degrees where as the Pantsir is 80. You’ll be able to detect agms that come at a high angle of attack.
The ADATS is an example of one of many bad spaa in the game. It’s not because it actually sucked IRL, but because it’s terribly modeled in game. Looking at the bug reports easily proves this.
And yet id argue its one of the better ones because unlike all others excluding pantsir and 2S6, it has a gun and as such it doesnt have such large deadzone around itself.
And since it got smokeless missiles ive been unpleasantly surprised a few times.
Against planes at it’s BR, yes. But the moment you get into the 12.3+ territory, it struggles a lot.
At this rate might as well simply go with bombs and do exactly the same, and with any other SPAA, not just HQ-17.
I can think of single AA that doesnt struggle there and surpisingly it aint BLUFOR one
That’s not how it works…
using AGMS at the short to medium ranges allows you to fire target multiple vehicle (including moving ones) with a high chance of hitting because of the short amount of time it takes for them to reach the targets. You just can’t do that with bombs.
Going back to the topic. There little spaa can do because of the shear amount of speed the kh38 has. Reaction time is the biggest causes of spaa being killed.
what is that term? Never heard of it
The blue team. The good ones (more or less)
AFAIK this refers to NATO and any allied or alligned nation, similiar to REDFOR refered to Warsaw pact and its allies and alligned nations.
That’s what u guys put on dev blog
You will never catch me on the red team in wt arb
Bro doesn’t like the commies
its so funny that the only US plane that has these in game is the new f18C, despite a bunch of bug reports and evidence for many others being able to use them
US aircraft and missing components / ord.
Name a more common pair.
Mig-29 missing r-73
The Mig-29A is well known to fit the R-60 due to the fact that the version we have in game entered service 4 years before the R-73.
Its missing that weapon because it did not exist when the R-73 did.
so why does the Mirage F1 have the Magic 2 then
