How to give Britain a Good AA for Top Tier

So When Pantsir-S1 for Britain via Saudi Arabia ? XD
We got the Lightning F.53 already so no Problem with the S1 then.

No

2 infact, one in the nose and one in the belly giving it a large operational window of guidance.

To be clear, Patriot would be broken if added right now as there are no counters to it.

If ARM and EW was added, then it’s a different question entirely. But yeah I’d support adding Patriot only when the counters are in place

land ceptor is right there

Ah, I had only seen the one on the nose and was dreading doing a 90 degree dive to keep lock

When C*S can stomp on ground vehicles from outside SPAA range, it’s fine.

When SPAAs can engage C*S from outside these’s range, it’s overpowered and broken…

My take is that we should make cas as powerfull as possible to allow for the additions of systems like this. Make it so we can effectively manage them so ground doesnt have to face the ever increasing power creep with no counter for years to come.

So true

there is a certain joke to be made about the nations that complain the most but, its a low bar

But But Gaijin loves to reuse old Models/C&P instead creating new ones :D

Mavericks are slow as well, the Tornado could take PGMs, or use GPS bombs with last-second lasing, plus is (much) faster so you can get more effective range out of your weapons.

The A-A point is a bit in the air for me atm, the GR.7 will turn better and have more missiles but also needs to get the nose on target (which can take more time and the enemy pilot will know to look for a missile), the Tornado can (i assume) use HMD to make up for lack of AoA/turn and fire at an angle that will take the enemy by surprise.

True, but as I said the Tornado does get the GPS+SAL bombs (as well as TV bombs/AGMs) and (on a more personal note) is also a fairly iconic domestic aircraft, and while the Brimstones are quite limited they’re still a relatively unique weapon for an aircraft.

Obviously US CAS will save you, even not CAS, I’ve been shot by FK90s lol.

Gaijin does love some easy asset flipping
