Unlike the other AAs, pantsirs can easily shoot down multiple A2G missiles. This makes me have no way of striking it, unless I fly 90 degrees ahead of their spawn at the start of the game…

The fame of multi role anti air system must been concreted. The best you can do to avoid Pantisir-S1 is focusing other targets, at some point the operator will focus on either defending allies trying to get profit from intercepting ammuniton or protecting themselves from some threat. Use the numbers in your favor, instead of trying to attack with accuracy.
ADATS struggle to lock a kh-38mt:

My biggest issues with Pantsir’s is within a couple seconds of spawning CAS in any GRB I get hit with a Pantsir missile. I either have to go into a hard dive or crazy acrobatics but more often the not it feels like there is no escaping them. Especially with the insane range it has compared to other nations.

Spam missiles at it. The msot it can intercept is about 4. So if you have 5+ AGMs, you can overwhelm them. Alternatively, hit and run attacks, pop up from an unexpected angle and try to catch it off guard. Finally, top down, drop a GBU nearly straight down onto the target from 40k feet and there is little they can do about it.

Which aircraft are you using?
Tbh you shouldn’t be getting hit as soon as you spawn, just don’t fly straight and you’re good. When you spawn, dive to the deck and turn around to get some distance.
Exactly. The biggest issue with the Pantsir, other than the fact that no one else has something comparable, is that Russian Su-24s and Su-30s can just start obliterating things with Kh-38s with no set-up. If you’re in an F-15 you really have to turn around and/or dive as soon as you spawn.
Yeah, this has always been my biggest gripe.
Any and every other SPAA. You can at least take a few seconds to take stock before then having to act. Whether thats defending, turning, climbing, etc.
But (especially back in the nerfed Torando Gr1 days) vs a Pantsir. It was to pre-emptively defend against a threat that I didnt even know if it existed or not, because if I delayed, even for a moment, it was too late.
at far range the pantsir shoots down all suspicous missiles, no matter which target they are going for

This is how to evade its missile, not striking it. Dodging several times is easy, but the missiles I shoot just get intercepted. Each time Doing defensive maneuvers, my speed will decrease ,and maneuvering to evade missiles gets harder as I get closer.

You can take 6x AGM-65Ds. When you locate the Pantsir, fire all 6 at it. They wont be able to intercept them all. Especially if you drop flares and chaff to muddy their radar picture. Alternatively. If you can get above them. they ‘only’ have a 81° FoV. So cant hit anything from above.
Can also try what I mentioned before about coming in low and fast from an unexpected direction. Especially if you have a teammate up. Fire late enough, and they cant react
Its not easy to spam missiles while evading the SAM…
can get quite a few off fairly quickly, but fire off 2, turn 180. fly a bit drop some flares and chaff, turn back towards, fire off 2, turn again back towards the first firing point. Hopefully, you’ll keep defending whilst making a confusing enough picture that all but the best will be able to handle the situation
watch this guy :)

having a wingman (assuming they are an actual squad) feels like it should be considered bullying in GRB :P

well, turning multiple 180s will drain my speed, if my speed is too slow the mavericks wont reach their target.
F-16 accelerates fairly well. Im not suggesting turn fire turn fire. But instead fire, turn, build up speed, wait a good 10-15 seconds and then tunr in again.
But watch that clip above. Its a pretty good example of the more reliable tactic of flying low and popping up from an unexpected direction.
