I am in support on this in the game, but i think it should be in the far future fater there are more laser anti air.
I’m not sure if the name extends to this but the M-SHORAD has been officially renamed the Sgt Stout Air Defense vehicles.
Speaking of, I thought there was a suggestion made for both the energy laser (this one) and the other M-SHORAD equipped with the 30mm chain gun, Hellfire’s, etc.?
Interesting but not sure how the Laser mechanic would work in-game. Obviously it would combine with radar lock feature higher tier SPAA’s get.
So it’s got an official nickname now, but still hasn’t been type-classified? That’s strange.
I agree, it’s weird. I’m sure it will be announced soon.
This seriously need to be added.

hit hit hit hit hit hit. (plane crashed) Gaijin will likely use the same system for lasers like they do with flame throwers where its a stream of bullets with very limited amount of pen but would damage the planes “parts HP”.
