Why don’t you do it yourself?
Because you are the one who made the claim? He has nothing to prove.

Surely if he’s ever played 8.3 then he can just check himself.
Surely if your claim is true you can just check yourself. YOU made the claim YOU have to have evidence of it if you want to be taken seriously. It is not his job to find evidence for YOUR claim.

I don’t need to prove anything to him when he doesn’t play 8.3. The reason I told him to get a screenshot at 8.3 is because he can’t.
I mean sure he doesn’t play much 8.3, but his message is still valid. You still made a claim with no evidence to back it up.

I think you missed the entire point of why his comment was so goofy. It’s like if a Reddit moderator told you to “prove” that the sky is blue. You don’t need to prove to a Reddit moderator that the sky is blue, in the same way you don’t need to prove to som1 who doesn’t play 8.3 that the Gepard is a powerful vehicle.

Yes the gepard is a powerful vehicle, but you said that you see it getting 5+ ground kills all the time (stats do not reflect that). I understand if it was hyperbole but this guy did not take it like that.

He demanding proof and you can’t provide , that the end of the story. Don’t have to play ring around the rosy to show that you can’t back your take up
Burden of proof is on your side.
You are the one claiming that gepards get 5+ kills all the time. I do not see them doing it.

That’s rich coming from a guy that doesn’t even have Gepard in the first place.

I don’t really think he plays much above 8.3 to be honest, and he is not a good player to be honest
And with lineups like this:
I guess the gepards that get +5kills all the time that he won’t post a screenshot are in a room with us

Generally speaking you can make lose claims about as vehicle you dont own, because youve likely run into it or might have a squadmate that has it etc. But these claims from Pangolin are wild, and the persistance to not even back up with screenshots, not even one. Dont take this guy seriously
More specifically I don’t play much below 8.3.
XD the funny thing is, I played 3 8.3 games in a row, and all 3 games an Gepard was topscoring with 3-7 kills, (and multiple braindead Gepards sitting in spawn doing nothing).
The only two plausible ways that people like AlanHR or the chinese name guy can say that getting 5+ kills is uncommon in Gepard, is if they either have never played 8.3, or are just so egregiously biased towards Germany that they can’t even possibly consider the idea that a German vehicle is OP.
They obviously have played 8.3, which leaves only one option.
Can you post a screenshot of such battles?
I simply do not see gepards doing anything like that, so i am just curious
And again rich stuff coming from a guy that doesn’t even have Gepard. And yes its very uncomon for Gepard to have 5+ kills. “Just trust me bro” doesn’t work here. Either you can prove what you claim or its just hearsay.
Also claiming Gepard is OP is just trolling.

Positioning: If they can’t see me, I can’t see them. If they can’t shoot me- I can’t shoot them. Trees will block their view (mostly, since a lot of high BR planes have thermals and will see even a single pixel of heat through any forest I can hide in), and hard cover means I cannot fire missiles at them, since, you know… My missiles will just hit the hard cover. That doesn’t take into account them dropping F&F munitions from directly above me and changing direction, which means I’m basically right in the open for the bomb while they are now hidden behind the hard cover.
Radar: a single blip on their RWR will let them know I’m there and the general direction of my position. And, again, they often get high zoom targeting pods with thermals, and while I have to visually scan the entire sky from treetop level up to 12km or so, they only have to look at few popular spots since not many locations provide cover for SPAA from getting snipes across the map by enemy tanks
Deployment: Yes, I can move. Yes, I can deploy smoke. Doing both kinda defeats the purpose of either, since moving out of smoke means I basically just popped a giant flare that says “I am here” while losing the cover the smoke provided. A moving target is also much less likely to be mistaken for a destroyed vehicle, and many SPAA, especially SACLOS ones, cannot fire back while on the move
Firing: I’m gonna be dead serious, this one genuinely sounds like sarcasm. “only 10km away” must be a joke because for many SPAA that’s genuinely the max range of their missiles in a straight line, not accounting for any course corrections, all while giving the enemy almost an eternity to spot the line of white smoke moving in their direction, both warning them of the missile and showing them your exact location. If they have F&F weapons they can just lock onto you, fire, and start flying the other direction, and if they don’t… they can just start flying the other direction, both of which result in you having to perform miracles to guide the missile at such range since missiles start overcorrecting by a lot at such ranges and it feels like trying to point towards something with a wet noodle.
The only part that sounds serious is the “it’s a hit” part, since you’re might just barely get the missile into fuzing distance and will just get his wing yellow with a nice “hit” appearing on your screen.
And all that is if we only consider a scenario with just one aircraft in the air, without any planes coming in from other directions or helicopters just barely poking out from behind mountains

The plane seeing clouds of smoke without a friendly tag in it
Not gonna lie, when I run the Mirage 2000 I can do it using a GBU, F&F are nice for the simultaneous strike capability, but they are not needed to utterly bully any SPAA that isn’t the Pantsir.
And even the Pantsir is just going to end up in a stalemate at best where we won’t kill each other, but I’ll be killing his team while he watches…

But if they have no tag, it leaves you space to be moving about and making it harder for them to get a genuine direct hit.
I commonly fire a few smoke out so I can move a bit, then put out distraction grens as well to make that smoke wider.
