Why werent gdr sphs added to germany though? They used the 2S1 and 2S3 in great numbers

Except, correct me if im wrong, things like radar guided Gepards in Sim, whilst they might ping your RWR. They arent affected by chaff nor do they need a radar lock to fire. They will fire with absolute precision visually.

same is true I believe with rolands.

probably similar to why they havent gotten their BMP2 and T55s I would imagine

Yes, as I said, if radar lock is not required, there wont be an impact.

Eyyy very nice

Like Gepard AI unit for example

Gepard cares not for your stealth. Gepard smites you anyway.

So then… no the F-117s stealth characteristic wont impact AI SPAA performance

Ooh, love the 117!

which doesnt make sense if all other nations get random c&p vehicles but gdr ground stuff gets mostly ignored

Why are the developers not seeking to fix this and make AI be affected by countermeasures

Nooooooo get out

Gepards are not all SPAA and may not be the only AI platforms at all points. As we have already said, Radar features will be modelled and expanded upon in the future. The question was not spesifically on the Gepard.

Germany does not require soviet copypaste to be a top 3 ground nation is why

Where there are a lot of people not all of them of them are of same mind, it’s as simple as that.

Even more so with the UK which has options. leading to:

  • some wanting commonwealth
  • some wanting lend-lease
  • some wanting pure domestic.

At this moment in time, SPAA that it will encounter in something like Sim are

Sidam-25
Gepard
Roland

1 doesnt have a radar and the other 2 dont seem to require a radar lock. Gepard definetly not. Roland maybe, but chaff has no impact from what ive observed

You forget, the commonwealth folk who feel closer ties to the UK than any other tree and want our stuff there.
