We got the 120S and a trick looking new heli. Unfortunately we didn’t get what we needed the most, some balance at top tier but hey everyone should be used to losing while using US vehicles by now it’s been several years.
Lol, notice that gaijin quietly has added a Rank VIII premium (F-20A) for a mind numbing $75. They knew $80 was too obvious. What has happened to the promise that there will never be top rank premiums, gaijin? If we do not say anything, watch them add many more of these in the next update. I bet they are itching to have that $80. These prices are getting ridiculous. The more crap you add, the lower one should get cheaper (at least a bit), not just the top get more expensive.
The whole event cycle has switched to higher ranks for better point multiplier. Gaijin themselves devalued Rank II, III and even IV vehicles, but still asks the same price when there were just FOUR ranks. This is not right.

Im interested to know who is buying them at that price and why.

Have you seen the average age of the players on here? Its not children
adults have the disposable cash and credit facilities.
No worry. America has many experimental light tanks to be in game. Just worry about SPAAs, America have few to choose.
That’s what I said “mom’s wallet.” The whole point of the promise to not have top rank premiums was, so new players cannot just get to the top by simply opening their mom’s wallet. This is a slap in the face of the seasoned players who sometimes spend years to get to the top rank.
“few to choose”
T69 MGMC (4x .50s, greyhound chassis)
T77E1 MGMC (6x .50s, chaffee chassis)
T100 MGMC (4x .60s, walker bulldog chassis, radar)
T52 MGMC (Sherman with 1x 40mm and 2x .50cal in ball turret)
M2 Halftrack [Elco Thunderbolt] (4x 20mm+ 2x .50 on M2 Halftrack)
M114A2 (M114 hull with Hispano-Suiza 20mm, similar to other 5.3 Hispano 20mm AA in Japan and France)
M113A1 HS.820 (M113 with 3x Hispano-Suiza 20mm)
M19 [M51 Skysweeper] (75mm Skysweeper autoloaded gun on M19 chassis, HE-VT)
RADUSTER (Duster with radar)
T249 Vigilante (37mm rotary cannon)
XM246 (35mm KDAs on Patton chassis much closer together than Gepards, more effective than M247 “Sergeant York” in trials)
AN/TWQ-1 Avenger (4-8x stingers + .50 cal on Humvee)
GLAADS (2x 25mm Bushmaster, thermals, on Bradley chassis)
LAV Blazer (LAV-AD with 4x Mistral, and radar)
Centurion C-RAM (Phalanx CIWS on HEMTT)
M-SHORAD (30mm non-rotary autocannon, 4x Stinger missiles, 2x AGM-114L(possibly better?))
Avenger II (1x 25mm Gast gun, 4x stingers, thermals on a Humvee)
Bradley [Chaparral] (4x whatever missile the Chaparral has access to, much better protection)
XM1108 w/“Advanced Chapparal” (4x MIM-72 + 2x Hydra pods or 2x AGM-114, or 6x MIM-72)
And that’s not even every SPAA they could add lol

The abrams series is still one of the better MBT at toptier unless you’re seriously trying to claim its worse than the challengers ariete or leclerc
ah, I mean top SPAA. AGM-114L isn’t really a good choice even with Vt fuse(I think I read it in a article), is it?

Theoretically could be if what it’s aimed at isn’t paying attention. Otherwise, Gaijin should probably work on putting that trailer system they used for the Churchill Crocodile to use for more than just it, given it’s been years.
I don’t think so, Hellfire has poor thrust and mobility, you can’t even hit a moving heli 8km away, how can you use it defend top jets?
any example? British has a trailer Rapier missile, but US? Patriot isn’t a SPAA and it uses separate radar.
Looked into modern US SPAA a bit more, Stryker IM-SHORAD with 1x30mm Chaingun, 1x7.62mm M240, and options for Stingers, Hellfires, and drumroll… AIM-9X Sidewinders. It’d probably be the best way to introduce them, after all.

Really, I didn’t know, all information I can find is about Stingers and Hellfires.
The launcher it carries can apparently mount all the aforementioned plus the AIM-9X.
any pics?
No pictures I can find, given it’s a relatively new development, however…
“Stryker Mobile SHORAD Launcher (MSL) and Stryker Anti-UAV Defense System (AUDS): In August 2017, Boeing and General Dynamics unveiled Mobile SHORAD Launcher (MSL) fitted with an Avenger turret for short-range air defense and operated by a three-man crew. The turret replaces the passenger compartment. Standard FIM-92 Stinger pod can be switched with launcher rails to fire Longbow Hellfire and AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles.”
Edit: Found one! :D

Good
about this, is my memory correct? SHORAD’s AGM-114L uses a different warhead, with VT fuse. does it keep it’s HEAT part, like an ADATS, or just a HE-VT.
Lol you obviously never played USSR T-72/T-90 variants to make such a statement, you’ll change your mind after you played them, Leopard 2, Abrams and compare to the ones without reverse speed and non-existence gun depression.
I can’t seem to find anything on a proximity fuse warhead, just that it’s apparently supposed to be precise enough for direct hits with radar guidance.
