There is no way these new spaa should cost 70sp and you get 3 vehicles to drive around. These systems should be extremely expensive to spawn.

lol
EDIT: I realise just saying “lol” was a waste of a post and not helpful to the discussion, so here’s a more thought-out response.
I don’t think severely increasing the spawn cost of MVSAM (multi-vehicle SAM) systems is a good solution—especially when they’re supposed to address the long-standing CAS vs SPAA imbalance.
For far too long, Russia has dominated both ends of that spectrum. Blufor teams have had to suffer through Kh-38 barrages and instant death on spawn thanks to the Pantsir.
Now that Blufor finally has a chance to fight back, suddenly it’s “iNcReAsE sPaWn CoSt”? Let’s not forget: every nation will eventually get their own MVSAMs. Some will be stronger, some weaker—but that’s nothing new. It’s just another moment in War Thunder’s evolution where players will have to adapt or continue struggling against near-unavoidable anti-air.

No.
The radar vehicle is considered as one vehicle, the spawnable vehicles count as a recon drone. If the radar vehicle gets destroyed, the whole system is destroyed.
If any, having to control two, or three vehicles at once is more of a liabilty than an advantage, because even though you can let one vehicle move via cruise control while you control the other one, it just can go in a straight line and will bump into any object on it’s way.
As if keeping one SPAA safe in the mid to late game wasn’t hard enough - espacially those huge chonkers like the FlaRakRd - you have to take care of up to three vehicles to not get shot by tanks swarming the spawn while avoiding AGMs and bombs from aircraft.
I mentioned it here on the forums somewhere already: I don’t think that these new SPAA systems will have much of an impact. As I stated above, SPAA usually gets spawned in the mid to end phase of a battle, mostly when everything already went south (i.e. you lost already 2 MBTs). In that phase enemy tanks will aready be at the spawn to wait for a massive unarmoured and unmaneuverable target to spawn, at least in the case of the German IRIS-T or the SPYDER AIO.

It’s pretty funny how every CAS whiner arguments how easy it is to collect free kills with the click of a button in planes.
But doing it with SPAA for a fraction of the spawn cost and even less effort is obviously fine.
We’ll see how they perform. For now they raised it by 30 SP if I’m not wrong, but the maps are too small and radars aren’t working properly. When it comes to the live server/it gets almost everything fixed, we’ll be able to balance things out.
Edit: misspellings fixed

What BR are they btw ? 12 or 12.7 ?
As far as I know, 12.0, that’ll have to be worked on.
Thats insane, lmao.
Well, we will see where it goes i guess.
Yeah, for now it does seem quite low but we’ll see if they change things on the go (maybe nerf or just increase the BR) we currently have 13.0, so there wouldn’t be a problem to adjust them to 12.7 (or 13.0 if necessary) but after all, as I said, we’ll have to see how it fairs compared to other SPAA.
