Don’t laugh at the ADATS/M3. Its missiles may not be very good at anti-aircraft performance, but it is beam riding (ignoring soft kill active defense), and its speed is not slow. At the same time, it has 8 rounds of reload, can also cause devastating damage to ground units, and has a 500RPM cannon as a self-defense weapon.
The fact the Flakbus is ranked so low in your opinion is amusing.
Also you forgot UK has a ADATS too.
I checked your service record, you don’t have a Roland do you, in fact you only have the British version of the ADATS, which is slower and more fragile and has no cannon. Not surprising then that you know nothing about the top SAM rankings.

@Smin1080p_WT any news on Mirage 2000-5F getting proper Helmet Mounted Display similar to the one found on the EC-665 family?
Before the appearance of ITO90M, the wheeled Roland was indeed a very good vehicle, but the environment changed too much after that. The Roland 3 was in stock and the VT1 was under development. The ITO90M had a free VT1 and could fire 8 rounds in a row, a better vehicle body (smaller, faster, smaller turning radius, better concealment), high-definition thermal imaging. The environment changed greatly, too many stronger CAS appeared (the K50 only needed to fire 3 rounds of 9M127 to easily kill the wheeled Roland (detonating the VT1 in advance), while the ITO90 needed at least 7-8 rounds,

Cool story. Doesn’t change anything about how good a VT-1 is and the fact you put the flakbus so low it didn’t make you list.

As for the British ADATS, you know, the M113 chassis leads to poor mobility, poorer protection leads to poorer survivability, and no machine gun, yes, no machine gun, that means you can’t fight against light tanks, especially high-rate OP 30mm gun tanks like the BMP2M
If you are going by the machine gun for defense then you might want to lower the pantsir it has no depression.
Yeah it has a gun for AA purpose they preform about the same.

Those would kill an adats before it even does anything to the bmp.
If we only talk about VT-1, it is indeed good. At least among manual aiming air defense missiles, it is second only to 95ya6 of Pantsir-S1. But it has too many other problems, the most important of which are the problems of waiting and loading, and the extremely large body like Pantsir-S1. Its ranking is the last among the top air defenses, just like the British ADATS.
You can turn off your stabilizer. It is an option ingame.

Which is why you stating earlier:
Referring to:
Is my problem with the statement. This specific part is wrong. This part of it:
As long as I am reading it correctly, is accurate unless the fighter is using a different radar set than what is actually shown. So that F-4EJ Kai better show up as an F-16 as well as the tracking radar of the M247. If this is to oversimplify identification, this is inaccurate.

I see you have a wheeled Roland, but you haven’t played with it much, do you remember when was the last time you played with it?
Last week
Did I say otherwise?
You need to use it a few more times and then reconsider this ranking carefully.
Ah, I didn’t see THAT. That is quite stupid, and I honestly haven’t noticed much of it as I hadn’t paid much attention to air combat in the dev server.
I have played it enough to know I like it more than anything with 10km missiles
