Most maps does not offer such kind of cover, and pilot are not idiots and attack from different directions.
And as I sad FlaRakRad has terrible mobility (because it lacks like 11 gear in tits bloody gearbox) so on some maps it struggles even to leave spawn.
I’m already 0 death leaving tiny maps, I’m not sure what maps would remain, if I start quitting maps without decent starting cover :D
Yeah the top tier balance for CAS vs SPAA does suck. Only SPAA that stands a chance is the Pantsir these days. So its time other nations get some major buffs. Currently hoping for the ASRAAM slinging truck for Britain to replace the ADATS at top tier
And? Basically everything that carries Spikes could carry Hellfires.
Can the US get this too?
US would get SLAMRAAM
No, but Id guess they’d get something like a Humvee that fires SL-AMRAAM
Don’t we have that on a Harrier?
No. The Harrier Gr1 and Hunter F6 have SRAAM.
ASRAAM is the advanced Gen 5 IR missile used on most modern british aircraft.
In the ground fire configuration it has a range of about 16km
It can’t overperform Pantsir though in radar capabilities and missile?
Oh that makes sense because the SRAAM is not good for anything over 3km.
Yeah, that was an all-aspect, Thrust vectoring missile developed in the 1970s. In-game its under-performing rather hard. Needs its range doubled, the TVC fixed and I can see them omitting the all-aspect, but could still get better firing angles.
even 3km seems pretty generous 😭 when i used to play the harrier gr1 i could only get reliable hits within 1.3km
On a good day you can get 3km. When target is decelerating and is straight ahead.
I need it
Yeah… We all do :P
Just shoot down the missiles
FlaRakRad is no Patsir, no guns, only 2 ready to fire missiles.
So all the Su pilot needs to do, to absolutely ensure your destruction is to fire 3 missiles.
So what you would do about that?
ADATS ain’t a pantsir, just the ITO that can shoot them down and pantsir.
Just die
I’ve shot a few down while using the ADATS
