After grinding for the CS/SA5 (Fat mistake and total waste of time, do not touch this thing, it is irredeemable as is) I’m very curious if it’s even worth grinding for the new Tan-Sam Kai. If anyone wants to share their thoughts and opinions on it I’d love to hear it, my biggest fear is that this vehicle is just as helpless against low-flying helicopters as every other IR SAM

Yeah, no one seems to talk about it, and I can’t decide if it is becouse it is bad or becouse it is mid

It’s bad at the moment. Not worth the grind honestly at it’s current state. Radar looks confused, it can’t keep track of targets and will lose it quickly… missile wont track or lock properly.
IRIS-T SLM (TADS) is the only one i see capable on downing air a whole lot more easier than the others. It has some issues from what I read, but its nowhere near as bad as the Tan-Sam Kai…at least.

Tan-sam TADS is difficult to operate, however it seem’s there is some bugs (it cant lock things despite being in clear line sight) and randomly reloading the missiles despite them being loaded and so on
it’s balanced i’d say, ARH mad dog mode is buggy it doesnt turn on its own seeker at a helicopter directly infront of it and decides oo sun (the sun is a 180 degree angle away from it)
few visual bugs (like radar rotating counter clockwise instead of clockwise like it should) as well as TEL having a stock Type 81C horizontal and vertical (bug reported - accepted)

Watch it take another 4 years to fix it, thats how long it took Gaijin to fix the Type 93 SAM…

Type 10 being a bug report since implementation (only in hornets sting finally getting its tracks after me causing a shit show and a 2+ year bug report)
I’ve found that it turns on the seeker but doesn’t lock anything

That’s why y’all should’ve send the report now, we might receive the patch on February 2032.
Unfortunately Jonny boy, we both made the same mistake. I grinded out both Asian nations, and they are both failure. They both gave me emotional damage. They bring dishonour to famiry, they no Asian, not even B-sian. No lah, they F-sian, F stand for FAAAAILURE!
The SAM Kai is what would happen if you gave the Type 81 a radar. Except the radar is unable to track anything except the ghosts of your ancestors.

Yeaah my condolences, at least they’ll maybe eventually be better/not buggy garbage lmao I noticed even in the test drive the radar was lagging behind anything you locked.
in live server it tracks as well as Air RB’s damage very inconsistant and most of the time it’ll just not lock
Yea playing around with it has really bad locking issues using radar both IR and ARH. The ARH is straight garbage far too often goes pitbull on something almost the complete opposite direction and only decent at taking down munitions where the IR cant seem lock onto munitions at all. But honestly intercepting in this seems so so in general so I might just end up taking full IR load and only use the radar for blind spots
The IR does work normally and pretty good if you take manual control of the vehicle using it and imo is the best way to use it currently
Can someone take the Tan Sam for a spin again and see if they actually fixed the missiles? Missiles might now do better and wont lose targets like it was previously doing. I’m currently busy and cant check myself 😭
EDIT: Still not worth playing it. Missile still misses due to radar interfering…ARH supposed to guide itself once it acquires its own radar lock within the missile and no longer needs info from the TADS…but it doesn’t do that for some reason. The self guidance activates at 16km, most targets are within range when I fire and the radar says no, its not there, its here and missile changes course to a ghost instead of keeping its target on the aircraft…
So frustrating
