But I do think the ADATS will pretty much be even more useless after this update. Gaijin needs to give new top tier spaa to countries other than russia

Oh man, let me tell you, XM is not fun to play. The moment something pulls 8G or does a left right turn the missile dies.

Not gonna lie, I do think a lot of SPAA players unnecessarily leave their radars on when they’re actually shooting at aircraft. ADATS has IRST IIRC and I know if I was using one, the first thing I’d do is turn the radar off after you identify a target so that they won’t know there is an SPAA aware of them and won’t be on edge.
One of those reasons the Type 81/93 is so dangerous because by being out of the spawn and not using radar (not that we have a choice) we are more or less invisible and a lot of times you see planes just going straight into the AO thinking they’re completely safe.

If not the fact that turning the radar off breaks the lock, it is soo annoying.
The IRST on the ADATS isn’t really reliable from my experience lol, even though the radar doesn’t help with that either, it still is good to keep it on to be able to spot helis hiding between trees and newly spawned CAS
IRT is doing its job just fine for me.
Yeah, though IRST is so easily defeated by a thin layer of cloud though, that you dont always have that choice
Guess I must be very unlucky with clouds then lol
Oh, that…
No one will want to hear my unpopular opinion, so I think I’ll share it. The West presumed they’d fight (and win?) WW3 with Air Superiority. They didn’t develop enough MRAD and SHORAD to have much else to add at this point that isn’t the Patriot people would cream themselves over like they did for a brief moment today earlier.
If you play the US specifically, you should be running an F-14B or and F-15A MSIP II or even whatever the best F-16 is with a little bit of ordinance and at least two AIM-120’s/AIM-54’s. CAP is your Pantsir, sorry not sorry.
At the very least you have a good option to manually aim and when the target has no idea you are shooting at them they won’t evade.
But this is me having to do unorthodox tactics because Japan’s best SPAA is the F-15J(M) lol

Okay, hear me out. This is the Pantsir, but with nimble fighters at 10-12km orbiting outside of your effective envelope and doing a barrel roll every 25 seconds or so.
And it would help player in plane to have more impact in the game, because alone when there is 1 or 2 plane and all the boat of the map fire tons of shells toward them… It’s hard xD
Dont worry, i know that, i have the Pantsir.
Still it gives funny 0 effort kills.

Yes, the NATO battleplan was/is total air superiority + Long ranged SAMs + SEAD (taking out airfields included) (or is it DEAD?)
Basically what we saw in the first 24 hour of desert storm.
Anything short range would be handled by MANPADS and systems like the Stormer.
Id just spawn in a Sea Harrier FA2 instead of the ADATS 9/10 times
i mean the next one in line is brutal so i wont lol )))))))))))))
