Do you mean being able to lock onto people via IRST based on their radar return?
Welcome to poor implementation of every SPAA in the game! Anything with radar and IRST as the sole locking feature is unable to slew via radar, from the CV9040 to even the Soviet SPAA.
According to?
As is everything else in the game. Welcome to engine limitations and poor implementation.
It has TWS. It sort of came with its optical tracking.
Are you talking the sim sights or gun-attached sight?
Still sim sights?

So… Datalink?
According to?
It’s more than capable of intercepting Kh-38Ms, Vikhrs, Kedges, and Karens.
We must be using different ADATS, I can watch as the SU30/34 ripples off KH38m’s and turns back for base before ever being within my range. Then I have 6 Kh to deal with that I can barely find and if I manage to get a lock on one I loose it instantly.
Best case I can save myself whilst watching my teammates get obliterated and leave the game early.
I know what you mean. There’s currently nothing you can do. Only SPAA which might have the range is also on russian side and keep air space clear for KH-38 jets.
I mean of you want to go the assymetric balance way why not, but it would require western CAP to be first spawnable, like helis with rockets
You either go the full realistic way and take doctrine into account in game, or KH38 has to be nerfed to reasonable levels for the time being. It can be buffed again once everyone gets long range SAMs
The others have their share of documentation too, developers decided to go guess time instead when it comes to G overload. As for Igla it’s still impacted by the infrared signature of helicopters being all over the place, as any other manpads. Mistral lacks 2 entire variants and stinger has its fair share of issues as well, although i’m less familiar with it
