So there was a leak list today and this SAM was mentioned i understand we should take it with a grain of salt but at the same time this thing looks cool and apparently engage 36 targets at the same time its full name is 9K317M "Buk-M3

Well we can start with this:
As well as Buk-M1/Buk-M3 and maybe 2K11 Krug.

36 targets all with semi active missiles… amazing
I’d argue that KRUG-M1 would be a better fit for the USSR tree, as it was never exported, while the KUB can go to the lackeys.
Besides, in my opinion SAMs are ridiculously OP at the moment, and I don’t want to see anything better than the Pantsir added to the Russian tree, unless they nerf the SAMs.
You could also give it the Cuban S-75M3 Volkhov or S-125 on a T-55 Chassis.
I would say no to the first thing since the Kub was the primary medium range SAM the soviets used more than anything else
No the SAMs are not op
The early S series are really bad following maneuvering targets I don’t know how they would place them in the tt (although they would have MTI maybe).
BUK-M3 according to the leaks
It services 9M317MA with an active seeker, there’s stuff about its service on telegram, they’re used to hit drones and munitions from HIMARS etc.
I believe the next step would be the S-300VM or S-350 after the Buk-M3.
The S-75 I suggested is the best possible version with a good minimum engagement altitude.
Their hit probability can be adjusted just like everything else in this game.
Sure, I can not fly an Su-7 (with no stand-off weapons) for 2 seconds without being missile spammed by half of the enemy team.
Not to mention using the available dumb bombs and unguided-rockets at top B.R is nearly impossible for the same reason.
A lot of them (SAMs) are mouse corrected as well.
which tg group
Then maybe they should be upteired
Semi active sams are already ingame and gaijin doesnt model them as such. Rolands 2s are semi active
This doesn’t fix the problem. At top-tier you either rely on stand-off or nothing at all. In this case what’s even the point of giving these top-tier jets dumb bombs or unguided rockets? Maybe I want to try to use Su-24’s gun pods without being spawn killed by an OSA (It happened)?
A G-pull nerf of all SAMs, and higher susceptibility to countermeasure will do the trick.
You shouldnt be able to do that lol

Ikr how can a -10km SAM spawn kill any plane?
Nevermind that he expects to be allowed to get close enough to use gunpods on groun targets like bro are you serious?

I think this can be defined into ‘unrealistic expectations’.
I guess he doesn’t think that increasing the relative celling of certain weapons he doesn’t like would help.

And you genuinely don’t find this to be a problem? Ok then lets remove them entirely in that case.
