The question is though, what about something like a Tornado?
Even the Gr1 with the PGMs, in that situatioin all 3 PGMs would be intercepted with ease and evading is no that easy. Even in the Harrier Gr7 with only 4x AGM–65s, i would be hard pressed to survive
I can’t speak on the Tornado, nor can I the Harrier. Although I think when dealing with a pantsir, the problem I would assume that both of those have is the low number of AGMs that can be sent out. At least until something like the Brimstone gets added where you can send out 5+ missiles at a time at a single pantsir to nearly guarantee you the kill.
PGMs I would be limited to only 3, and they are far slower than an AGM-65, meaning more time for intercept.
Gr7 is 4x AGM-65s. so better, but probably not enough to truly overwhelm. I think the better tactic in the Gr7 is to dive and use the low level handling to pop up from unexpected directions
Yeah, Gr4 and spamming 12+ Brimstones would probably be about enough to overwhelm a Pantsir, though again, only one would be needed for most other SPAA and that is the core problem
Not the case anymore, they changed it last major update. Now bombs too can be shot out by proximity explosions (before it was only on direct hits, from guns for instance).
I thought they changed some of the others like the ADATS and the FlakRakRad to be able to intercept missiles? I know the OTOMATIC I’ve been able to intercept pretty much everything from AGMs to even small Spike missiles
but a Singular phased array antenna as PESA radars have is essentially just a fast refresh rate
thats modelled correctly
its the AESA on the ASRAD that’s modelled wrong because that should be an (unknown) amount of diffrent beams scanning all together on multiple frequencies in multiple directions
but it’s modelled like a faster PESA in sensor view
Will it be thermal like thermal thermal, or thermal like “high-contrast band-specific TV” thermal? If so, the Su-24M should get the same treatment that the Su-34 will get in that regard.
The Su-34 at present is exciting because it should be able to be even more untouchable than the Su-27SM or Su-24M are right now. Not that it’s needed at all…
