hard to do when the radar sucks ass, I’ll be using the regular type-81c until at least that’s fixed

IRIS-T SLM and Tan-SAM kai being the same BR is absolute bullshit. When the fuck will Gaijin decompress ground to 13.0 as they should have two years ago??? IRIS T 13.0, Pantsir 12.7, Tan-SAM and CLAWS 12.3, Spyder (once Gaijin moves their ass and fixes it) 12.7, etc

I’d much rather use the IR missiles if they had UTDC as they should. No point in using missiles that can only be fired at an afterburning target 8 kilometers away, it needs to be launched without a lock just like the ARH missile.

No arguments here. Unfortunately because Japan is a minor nation we can’t have nice things

I wish you could just use it as an 81c with search tracking, but the stupid radar forces your reticle on anything it picks up

Solution to that is to turn off the radar, but it takes forever because it needs to rotate to the forward position, then fold flat, then wait for the TWS tracks to fade for you to be able to use the IR missiles normally

Jesus Christ of Nazareth, how the fuck did they even manage to create such bug?
I also wish they gave us back the partial area search but properly, without the radar antenna rotating. The partial scan would make it much better at tracking targets. Also would be very good if we could manually rotate the antenna in said mode, because why the fuck would I have to re-park the truck every time I want to make the radar face somewhere else?

like. Instead of whatever goofy schizo search pattern they’re currently using for AESA radars, why can’t they adjust the radar cone to be the same size as the entire search area
DCBY, do you think you can create proper bug reports so that we might one day get to see a properly working Tan-SAM?
Also find it insane that someone pointed this out back on the dev server but it’s still not present in game.

forgot to mention that unless the target is way up at altitude, if you try to fire the missiles while controlling theTADS, the missiles will very likely just hit the ground (and possibly damage or destroy the TEL as well) because they are fucking stupid and giving the launchers some basic logic like aiming 15 degrees above is too hard apparently
but at this point we are lucky our missiles at least work, look at the poor spyder lmao

Meh, we really could have gotten the chu-sam at this point instead of researching a type 81 with radar for 400k rp

Honestly i wish we got that instead
The tansam is so ass right now because of its radar
I ended up just playing a different nation for now because the radar is so terrible i was getting frustrated using it
Half the time it follows a false track
Other half it just straight up does not work
I didn’t see any others, so I’ve gone ahead and created a dedicated thread for the tan-sam. Please check it out, and put your vote in the linked bug reports for additional visibility. Thanks!

This is difficult because sometimes it just doesnt want to lock what your aiming at or the radar decides to pick something else (e.g. locked a F-15E flying 7km high up, and it decided just when i was about to fire to lock a drone thats not even being locked. thus unable to shoot at what i aimed at )
Don’t forget the Type 11 Tan Sam that’s 100% coming anyway, so that’s a 800k roadblock before you even begin to research the Chu Sam (1.2 million RP in total to actually get it)

Does the Type 11 even provide any significant improvement? The range is the same. Only plus I can think of is possibility to get them on Toyota Mega Trucks.
And Toyota version has disadvantages as it can’t be operated without radar at all
Unlike in reality, the disadvantages seem to outweigh the benefits in the game. The launcher’s elevation is limited, its rotation speed is slow, and the ammo capacity is likely reduced. However, since the side mounted missiles are gone, there’s less risk of hitting trees or buildings. :)
