Well instead, I would like the CS/SA5 go lower, 11.3 or even 11.0. It’s performance is far worse than most new SPAA, and even the old ones, no Image lock, no datalink, Ahead goes self-destruct at 4km.
I would say the new live server is a total discrimination on China, and other Nations that not getting a new SPAA, except Russia (well the SPYDER is kinda bad too so I would put Isreal on the list).

had kinda the same issue if i tried to control SLM in 3rd person without the new AA menu. fraid these new systems are meant to be used exclusively with it.
they weren’t, the majority of SPAA spawns were simply ‘whoops I have no tanks left’ rather than any actual attempt to prevent air dominance, and they also rarely played spaa effectively - i.e engaging on cas attack runs, not when they’re 3x out of their effective range at spawn. Here’s another top tip: stop radar locking planes immediately after they spawn and giving away the fact that you’re there

unless the SPAA turns off the search radar as well, it doesnt matter if they get locked or not.

it does, rwr pings are much less noticeable than the track warning + consistent tracking from spawn makes it obvious its an SPAA lock and not an enemy aircraft

most RWRs bar the ancient ones can differentiate between AAA and AI.
you see AND hear search radar pings coming from direction of the enemy spawn and dont immidiately conclude its something with radar AKA threat to your existence as plane?

This is not gaijin fault chinese can’t build proper spaa
Except for the tansam you HAVE to babysit the launchers bdcause otherwise theyll shoot at the ground

wait, really?
By proper I suppose it means “not suitable for current in-game environment”. I pretty welcome Gaijin to release Fk1000/2000/3000 series, if you would not complain about ‘balance issues’.
Yeah sadly… the AI is very dumb and will almost always attempt to launch them at the ground infront of it.
You have to use the launchers manually and aim them upwards whike firing, because otherwise only like 1 missile out of 4 will even get off the ground.
it would be mad funny if it wasnt so sad.
Pantsir never over-performed because it was introduced with the SACLOS correction.

Better range , higher speed , more speed retention, ability to guide 4 missile, guns more missiles then any platform, idk about radar it can track anything but that’s also a issue itself.
None of that means over-performing.
Especially when CAS out-ranged the Pantsir by 7km before its fix in September 2024, and 4km after the Pantsir’s fix.
All while using an easy to dodge missile.

What about no launch warning say that was also normal?
No launch warning has been a thing since 2019 on most and later all top SPAA systems.

I mean the Amraams on the claws look incredibly easy to counter.
thats true, but has nothing to do with the fact that SPAA was inferior
range of CAS with FnF missiles is higher than SPAA, and also until this update, no SPAA had FnF missiles.
also, CAS can launch all missiles instantly, which is guaranteed death for the SPAA, while the pantsir can only engage 4 targets with a horrible radar, no target selection and a very limited fire rate.
rwr is fully noticable as any other warning, along with a convenient text that shows the SPAA name
doesnt china have russian SPAA
being the best SPAA does not mean being a good SPAA
