The problem with the type 81 is purely an anti air unit but lacks the critical radar to find said air. So taking it out you have to be trying to kill air or you are literally a free kill for any gounnd.
I mean fair but at the end of the day if the team is doing so bad that you in an SPAA has to fight tanks, it’s already a done match. No SPAA is excellent at dealing with tanks frontally (barring the obvious WZ305, ZSU 57-2, etc)

I don’t find the lack of radar to be all that big of a problem, it’s more annoying trying to kill Tiger UHTs and such.

or if you team just said f the anti air and you are slaughter over and over by air because no one on your team is doing it
It is when you are looking for jets that have some intelligence
I find lack of radar annoying against eurocopters and certain planes with F&F

I know the ADATS can be used as an ATGM launcher…but it has such bad performance for that (slow, huge profile, cant avoid exposing itself entirely) and the missiles rarely reliably pen tanks at top tier. that its basically meaningless. If it was 10.7 then maybe I’d agree. But at 11.7 it’s mostly irrelevant and useful only for worse case scenario…I would not be relying on the ADATS to replace an MBT or IFV. I’d rather run something else for that…heck even the DW is probably better for that
I think the f117 is going to a partiulcar pain for the type 81 c
Well at that point either some players are in jets or it’s a case of the team losing, either way top tier AA is not all that useful to begin with, my best “AA” for Japan if I’m tired of CAS is the 15JM. Only downside is after you deal with the CAS the JM is entirely useless since Japans F-15s don’t have any smart weapons

I main want the adats for beyond visual range air kills or to find that helicopter lobbing missles or the semi intelligent fighter that doesnt fly in a straight line
I got the f16 unlocked right now
You won’t see any. It’s fine. Why any would use the F-117 at top tier instead of F16C or F15E is beyond me and I don’t know why you are worrying about it. I’m concerned about them slightly in my Stormer HVM at 10.7 but not at 11.7
people said that of the f-1111
Even if it had a radar, I can never lock the helis at any range past 3-4 KMs
And I never see F-111As at 10.7 either
I agree the f-117 will be limited it will be used by players like a more primitive and slot filling drone but I do believe it will see use for players who like it or are wowed by it being stealth
The AJ is great except for the fact that it’s fake and while I appreciate having it a lot, I feel once they can replace it with a subtree F-16A, they should probably remove it, same with the R2Y2s

Im more annoyed at the poor performance of AAM-4 when it should be a Lot better than what it currently is

I expect to see them quite a bit for the first few weeks when its new with people buying it and then again in about 3 months when people grind it. But I doubt it will be a common sight once the novelty has worn off. People will go back to the A-10 and A-6
