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.
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.
ok, so strela stays where it is, but roland drops to 9.3-9.7 LAV drops to 9.3-9.7, ITO drops to 11.0-11.3, flarakrad to 11.0-11.3 and adats drops to 10.7-11.0
I was comparing the strelas effectiveness to other AA, it is roughly as effective against aircraft as a other AA currently around the 11.0 area
Roland is superior to Strela in every way.
Same warningless launches with a long range on a superior missile.
Strela would have to move down as well as all CAS for that to be balanced.
I’ve tested the Roland 3 missile multiple times since the changes.
It’s still easily controllable while having a long range, unlike the short range of Strela.
Granted, many CAS platforms our-range both, and all CAS platforms out-range Strela.
you will never hit a maneuvering target anywhere close to the strelas max range with rolands as they currently are implemented
the only situation where you can argue roland is better than strela is against drones as contrast lock even lets the strela get resonable lock ranges against helis
Hitting maneuvering targets require prediction, something which I’ve done using among the worst missiles in the game.
SACLOS missiles require skill to use effectively, but when used correctly they’re better than all F&F missiles currently in-game.
you are talking about consistently maneuvering targets, and sudden roll or pull will completly negate roland missile
they are not, you are extremely vulnerable when guiding a SACLOS missile and this is extra notable on rolands as they only have t ready to launch missiles and you have to wait for the second missile to detonate to begin the fairly long reloading process
you specifically said launch warning which rolands guidance commands do trigger for most high tier RWRs
