yeah, but that can be said for a lot of things gajin adds, gajin can completely ruin any new additions by nerfing them, bugging them, and just forgetting to add there most important features.
whether this system will live up to its full potential is up to gajin, but without being “gajined”, it already is way superior than its competitors.
yep, ive been playing for around 3ish years maybe, as a dedicated israel main, my hope is practically gone for this game, thats why when I heard the SPYDER could be coming, my hope was semi restored lol
im not against the iris-t-slm, I think its a great option to counter cas, as i not a big fan of the top tier cas situation rn.
what i am concerned about is another “pansir situation”, where in 2023 when the pansir was released, other spaa models struggled to survive in an environment where the pansir was farr better than they where.
Currently remains to b3 seen if gaijin does a good job with the multi vehicle mechanic.
For all we know, they might just make it an IR only SAM with radar acting as seeker guide
yes it was mainly because of the sheer area denial capability it has with regards to AGMs and A2G munitions
not to mention CAS literally being forced to spawn inside its engagement range
it was so bad that we found a bug that the CAS aircraft would spawn on the map before the player could use it and the pantsir already had a missile on the way before the player got control of the aircraft
No. It won’t be too broken, and SPAA will still be at a disadvantage because of poor modeling. Also because 90% of SPAA players sit in spawn next to each other, the concept of physical cover doesn’t exist to them…
I’ve said this before, but it will most likely be static SAM sites that will be off map limits, you only control the command and fire control system truck but no in the sense you get to drive it or move it around.
It will be most likely a third person view with a radar indicator like regular SPAA. I doubt Gaijin will model the interiors and give us some sort “first person” view of the insides of the command truck, although that would be cool and immersive as hell. But yeah, it’s not that big of a deal to place these systems on the edges or corners of the map and have them be just static objects like the SEAD event.
The only concern is how would radars and launch system cope with being damaged, will they repair themselves, or will the player have to wait for them to respawn? I suppose killing the command truck kills the player and the entire SAM battery with it.
im not asking that, im asking about how wether it will be balanced or not?
We’ve seen this in the past already, with the pansir in 2023, although im very against cas, im wondering if its gonna be as good as the pansir was in 2023, and therefore disrupting the balance of top tier spaa. By looking at its irl stats its already much better
if you played warthunder around 2023, you’d remember the pansir when it was added was super unbalanced, and muchhh better than other spaas.
By look at the iris-st-slm’s stats, its range, maximum G’s, and fire and forget make it on paper much better than every other spaa currently in the game and the ones rumored to be added.
