Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Fair on most points I still think give japan yamato I wont change until actually something is done to fix japan in ground.

Cool is there a point to this

I still dont see the connection. Its a bit like saying Britain should get the Typhoon FGR4 with ASRAAM and Meteors next major update because we dont have a WW2 battleship currently

It’s as strong as your argument

no, just going by stat cards on the missiles.

ADATS lists 10km with MCLOS guidance
Type 81 lists 11km with IR guidance

I know the IR Seeker has its issues, but for purely hitting something at long range, assuming you can get a lock, then Type 81 would pull ahead,

But neither can compete with the Pantsir or ItO so is largely irrelevant (and then only really the Pantsir is a threat at top tier) Though Type 81 can be upgraded the ADATS cannot.

Okay so why shouldnt japan get it ?

ADATS?

Because they never used it

Why should Japan get it

Type 81 has a real max range of 9 km on good weather and around 5 to 6 on Bad weather since electro optical tends to be unreliable af

the adats can detect more then the type 81 can

And the ADATS has about the same vs anything not flying in a perfectly straight line, id rarely fire past about 7km even with a radar lock in any weather. It has got a radar, but the IRST is limited to the same degree.

And that is my problem there is not going to help with more and more jets and helicopters that it first has to see to even fire on

Radar means alot in beign able to detect threats that arent new players flying in a straight line at you

Comparatibely saying that the type 81 it’s better than the ADATS cuz the missile has better technical performance it’s a heavy overstatement, remind ya that the ADATS has a radar and can reliably attack helicopters and Targets flying decently far away on all weather conditions
