Got a massive nerf, reduced in BR, then got a buff. It’s missile is still inferior to the ADATS but not by much to warrant an entire BR gap. The 2S6 is still a better AA soley because it can reliably spot air targets, namely A2G munitions and intercept them. The ADATS cannot do this.
The 2s6 is more suited towards top tier than the ADATS
Also, how is the XM975 fake? Wasn’t a prototype built and trials were done on it?
Oooo. ADATS has been nerfed multiple times. Now it’s a pathetic parody of what it was at release. It could lock on targets from the third person, its missiles were very fast. Now ADATS is the worst top SAM, and it was given one BR higher.
Hidden Changes (March 2025)
Removal of Neutral Turn Function: Some players have noticed that ADATS has lost the ability to turn on the spot, reducing its maneuverability. This change was not listed in the official changelogs and may be a bug.
Decreased Launch Range
ADATS missiles now lose speed faster at longer ranges, significantly reducing their effective range against air targets.
Decreased Maneuverability
The maneuverability of the MIM-146 missiles has been reduced. Now the missiles are worse at catching maneuvering targets, especially at medium and long ranges.
Missile Slowdown
Players have noted that the missiles accelerate more slowly and lose energy faster in flight, making them less effective against high-speed targets (such as fighters in afterburner).
More Misses Against Air Targets
Due to the weakened controllability and speed, missiles are more likely to miss their targets, especially if they are actively maneuvering.
Missile Invisibility (Smokeless Trail)
While this is a realistic change, it hinders the operator himself - it is difficult to visually adjust the missile after launch.
It was a jointly developed system by Germany and France however the US was involved in the manufacturing of these systems so I don’t really see what the issue is.
Better missiles? It trades 70mm pen for speed.
Tows are 50 m/s faster, and you can fire two without reloading, not to mention the insta reload bug the Bradly’s ATGMs have had for years.
Bmp-2 has better mobility yes.
Larger silhouette? Taller the Bradley is, but the bmp is longer.
Survivability is definitely better in the Bradley there guy.
And the bmp 2 is a higher br while pretty much being equal to the Bradley
Great, but ADATS is completely useless against top aircraft. Its missiles don’t fly, I can hardly shoot down a UAV with it, you can’t even imagine what a humiliation it is to play it against KH-38MT, you hide like a boy behind rocks so as not to be killed and in the hope that the Su-30 or Su-34 will simply forget and fly closer. ADATS is an absolutely useless SAM, that’s why it hasn’t been in the game for a long time, no one takes it, but for the Soviets there are 3 Pantsir S1 at the spawn, which successfully intercept all missiles and bombs.
I have never been able to have my pansir intercept any munitions purposely.
Very rarely have I seen others do so.
The Adats can kill drones…? And is more likely to kill a plane that is within range more so than a pansir, due to max g overload.
If you cannot see your munition, turn the thermal on.
Also the Su-30/34 are mentioned why? Plenty of CAS can out range all spaa
