Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

it really isn’t… I approach all of them the same way

Except the ADATS has an effective range of 7km, and VT-1 has a max fire range of 12km and isn’t intercepting more than 1 missile

You cannot be seriously trying to say that every SPAA has the same capability as the Pantsir to kill an aircraft and survive all missiles fired upon it

from what it looks like you want to fly in a straight line firing missiles with impunity.

pantsir even with 18km range, missile does not curve much, target doing minimum to dodge can avoid pantsir missile which the further away it is, the worse missile gets

no I’m not, and you’d understand that if you read my comments.

What I’m saying is that the pantsir is in no way scary to top end CAS…

Then what are we even arguing, because I am arguing the disparity between the pantsir and other TT SPAAs.

idk you responded to me talking about the SMT and F-16

And even if they can see all of the Mavericks they can’t get all of them, at least if you launch 4+ at a time at a Pantsir player.

I hope if they add the SU-34 they add the glide FAB-3000 bomb

They 100% can

funnily enough the best Anti-SPAA in the game is the JF-17, because those glide bombs are annoying as hell to tag and can hit from 20km

Oh 100% that’s why I really hope for the FAB-3000 glide series on the SU-34 to piss off ITO-90Ms

so its player fault then lol

No, they can’t, launch 2-3 mavericks and start maneuvering while you launch another 1 or 2 and they’ll die 99% of the time.

You can’t intercept 4 at a time with the TWS and then immediately intercept the two others. It’s like 6 button clicks and you’re still alive.

its really funny, the survivability of SPAA players goes drastically up when they move after killing someone or just enough time

It’s true.

me getting a minimum of 2 kills a game in my stormer against planes and only dying twice in 10 games (it was to enemy tanks that spotted me not planes)

It’s also not armed, but purely a demonstrator similar to what the EAP was.

I could see armed F-X (23-26DMU) being added though considering radar, engines, TVC, part of the fuselage and weapons bays for them were built.

I barely play the Pantsir, Im just talking from me playing the Kurnass 2000 with its TP, fly up dump 4-5 mavericks at a pantsir and fly away, guaranteed kill 99% of the time
