Travel time of said weapon? Half a decade, ever thought MOVING around into cover is a thing?
That’ll probably be after the trailer anyways, but I doubt it, they didn’t include the F-15I with the F-15E and those are basically the same

If the CAS was stupid enough to enter within the 8 or km range of an ADATS for example. Then yes they deserve to die, but it’s extremely easy to stay out of that range
they did? sick
So that’s how SAMs are suppossed to counter CAS? By, uh… taking cover and still be unable to do anything because their missiles STILL can’t physically reach the planes?

Unless its a KH-38, in which case it’s about 10 seconds

China’s CAS is so bad that I thought I would see the Su-30MK2 in this update.

Considering F-18E is a chronic sidegrade at best, could be.
Either way I’m omitting F-18E initially cause it’d be a rather lackluster addition [prediction].
Su-30SM, FCK1, F-18C, even F-18A, Mig-29M/35, T-50, F-2, and a number of others are all higher priority than F-18E.

I would assume both france and the UK would get a CTA-40 carrier at the same time as it was a co-developed weapon but considering how gaijin seems to add a single top light tank a patch i can see it only going to one nation
Considering the strong binding between China and Russia in the game, perhaps Gaijin wants to make China Russia’s air bodyguard in the game.
I just hope we see ASM-2 on it. Maybe sniper pod too with L-JDAMS

I do it all the time, which is why I tend to have few more guaranteed kills.
Will it kill me? 90% of the time, no, even if im just in an A-10C at 5km alt cuz AA players just behave like crap. The other 10% slap me on the wrist but why should I cope about it?
Truely a wet dream :hopium:

so like what is the source?
And by forcing the plane, to have a shot against you, close the distance and make themselves more vulnerable?
Idfk know man you tell me
So because you play CAS badly, it therefore means all CAS players are bad and therefore CAS vs SPAA is balanced?

Why would the plane willingly get into my weapon’s range to kill me, instead of… just ignoring me while I am not a threat to it, and take the chance to keep killing teammates, which is what happens most of the times?
Hiding does not force the plane to “hunt me down”, it only makes it not even worry about me, as if the range difference wasn’t enough lmao

Luckly all truck sams got an nerfed reverse gear which seems to be just an fake nerf…
Trying to find more infos on FlaRakRad… Currently I got answers from A few Museums Indicating that the reverse speed should be around 20 km/h and not the below 6km/h we have…

Even when planes get into the maximum range of an ADATS (would mention stuff like the OTOMATIC, Chaparral and OSA as well, but that seems pointless) it is incredibly easy to just counter the SAMs.
Granted, the ADATS would work a lot better if we had some kind of lead marker, but even then you can easily drain the missiles of their energy by maneuvering a bit.
Now, I am not sure about the Tan-SAM, but I don’t usually see them getting kills against anything other than the low skill CAS players that don’t maneuver.
