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

[Smugspite]

I mean last time I played the new sams were pretty good at killing planes so eh?

[themadseventeen]

I don’t know and I don’t care to be honest

[TheChosenMonolit]

??😭

[Kaas_NL4]

Why? as a anti air you can make alot of rp from just shooting down planes

[magach]

[Macron-Spokesman]

@Smugspite I was mocking BVVD’s claim of the Buk being the worst SPAA, thought that was a little obvious.

[themadseventeen]

I want to play tanks for tanks. not dodge air to ground missiles nor shoot at planes with SAM systems

[Smugspite]

didnt watch the dev stream so no lol

[TheChosenMonolit]

so with your logic you want SPAA’s removed?

[Kaas_NL4]

Good, i waisted my time watching it

[magach]

i thought you were serious, whoops
i hope someone in that company will stand up and say “folk what are we doing?”

All missile performance in game is based on source material. Nothing is “buffed” or “nerfed” on the whims of balance. Its a case of source material showing clearly something can do X or Y.

Completely false, as the entirety of the MANPADS missile class is balanced off of the 9M39 Igla.
The reports below for just the Stinger have been “Accepted” for TWO years and have never been implemented.

20+G maneuverability: Community Bug Reporting System
Lacking lock range: Community Bug Reporting System
Lacking UV mode: Community Bug Reporting System

And these are just reports for the Stinger that I could find in 5 minutes.

@OrsonES

For other MANPADS systems, open sources indicate a higher overload such as 18, 20 and even 25g in the case of the Mistral 1 MANPADS. However, these MANPADS systems have only slight differences in the area of aerodynamic surfaces compared to the 9M39, so a multiple increase in average achievable overload compared to the 9M39 cannot be expected. We believe that the slightly higher overload of other MANPADS systems is mainly due to the slightly higher maximum speed of the missiles in comparison with the 9M39 MANPADS missile. Therefore, we assume that for the MANPADS FN-6, FIM-92 and Mistral, the documents indicate the peak overload achieved at the moment when the rudders are in the maneuver plane. With this assumption, the average available overload for the half-cycle of rotation of these MANPADS will be 63% of the peak and will be consistent with the data on the available overload of the 9M39 MANPADS.

[themadseventeen]

no. I don’t mind SPAA

[TheChosenMonolit]

then what would be the point of them even existing in the game if CAS is removed

[themadseventeen]

vvv

Technically bad, cause everyone and their mom multipaths/terrain masks or hovers in place. Or the other team doesn’t get much kills to spawn CAS so no kills for Buk. Either way… 🫠

[Smugspite]

only cool thing was the AS90 at least for me lol been waiting literal years for it, finally the UK gets L15A2 on one of their SPGs

[Smin1080p_WT]

@YeeT_and_Delete

Completely false

It was laid out in full what they are based on: MANPADS Missiles and Overload: The Technical Details

Again, missiles are created using a gathering and combination of all available public materials.

Regardless, if you believe something is incorrect and it has not yet been reported, please direct your energy to make a report.

This topic is not the place.

If we are getting the pantsir-sm-sv that can shoot 92 missles with ammo crates i’d like to see every other nation get the Patriot system
