If Strela moves up other things would need to move up as well. Type 81 didn’t really need to go 11.7.
@bertgame
It’s still everything it has, which is why I said that people wouldn’t really like buffed Stingers as many vehicles would reach 11.0 or above.
really? what else would have to move up, because it is the second best IR aa in the game and it is much more effective against air targets than other AA that share its BR
Idk… Since when gayjin cares about balance. Once upon a time i heard that they care about realism too
Vehicles are balanced around their effectiveness and some AAs can attack both ground and air targets, so both should be taken into account.
yeah and the strela is too effective for its br so it should move up
You still didn’t send a single footage to back your claim at all, everyone can say anything nowadays.
I agree
I haven’t played today…?
Doesn’t type 81 have irccm, and strela doesn’t?
Additionally, one is a super speedy truck.
even if it is not shown in statcard strela functionally has irccm, you are almost never able to flare it
that is both a good and a bad thing, but I didnt say strela should be 11.7 with type 81 but I believe it should be ~11.0 due to its effectiveness against aircraft
I flare it all the time 😂 what In the name of Russian bias are you talking about??? “Functionally has irrcm”
Have you ever been locked by a LAV-AD? Totally different vs a strela. That LAV-Ad never misses, even when pre flaring, or having ircms.
You did not reply with any footage like i asked.
yes I have been locked by both, you are slightly more capable of flaring strela but it is still harder to flare than some ircm missiles such as aim9m or r73
the LAV constantly misses, it is stupidly easy to dodge stingers because gaijin literally said igla can only pull this hard so stingers cant get there IRL pull
Still the main thing is the thing does not have radar and have nothing to redeem beside good AAM .This circle back to the role of SPAA in a GRB battle. Moving up or down one vehicle would not fix it , I would say that moving the Type 81C down to 11.3 or even 11.0 would not make a big different but some people would not be happy, so jap player can’t have anything nice.
Spaa play such a minor role when there are barely any CAS/Heli and yet even when there are CAS/Heli the SPAA are still pretty damn useless , even the Pantsir suffer at time if the CAS player are decent. That not to say Pantsir is bad , read before crying please.
Lol USA mains brought this on themselves
Are you sure about that
Strela’s missile range is significantly less than that of all SPAA at 10.3.
Wanting Strela to move up only ever means you want to be unkillable to SPAA when flying within a few km of the battlefield.
It’s balanced where it is.
I can’t speak for current Type 81, but when Type 81 was 10.3 I out-ranged it using Q-5L.
Strela is fine where it is. Yes it’s potent against CAS at its BR, but’s it’s an AA, it’s supposed to be lol.
People have gotten too comfortable with AA being useless at high tier, and the moment one offers some actual deterrence, it’s branded ‘op’.
Agreed.
Some people lost the touch when it comes to CAS vs AA gameplay. AAs getting outranged is apparently not an issue.
How those pesky AAs even dare to shoot at us, we must be totally free to defecate on ground targets with impunity. We worked hard for this privilege and even had to make a kill and an assist to do this.
