Very cool-looking vehicle However, how do I actually use it? It’s the size of an school bus running around the battlefield and a huge tower of radar spinning making it easy for enemy to spot and it missle is semi automatically, which would it be useful killing light armor vehicle from far range?
OSA deadzones (due to how launchers are fixed in their positions) make engaging griund targets extremely impractical.
Find a bulding and hug it. OSA excells in high alt defence, dont bother with low flying aircraft.

Using it against ground targets is out of the picture 99% of the time, do not try. You can float, so on some maps it allows you to enter unexpected positions. Overall your missiles are slow and have a giant signature, but they keep maneuverability very well. Radar is quite bad, it takes 3 rotations to scan 12 degrees of elevation, meaning many things can escape it. Watch out for strike drones, they can slip over it, and they love to target you.
Track radar is OK, nothing special, and you have a TV track, so it can help with notching, chaffing or multipathing targets. You can guide 2 missiles at one at one target. They automatically do a flyover when you aim at low targets, so it can surprise some people, thinking you are not aiming at them. If enemy pulls hard, the missile will have problems, so you need to pre-lead in anticipation. Warhead is quite large, so even a decent miss might kill. Overall, it is a decent AA once you get used to it, and it is a non-existant TD.
