So it is indeed not “one of the worst” and more in the middle of the pack?

It really feels like a filler update, but not necessarily in a bad way of course.
The update doesn’t have a sort of hype/flagship vehicle (and no, the F-16C Block 52 won’t ever be that level no matter how much Gaijin seems to want it to be and no matter how hard they try), but if we go through the list of confirmed vehicles so far there are at least 4-8 vehicles that I’m personally pretty excited for.
By pure stats, out of all rank 8 SPAA, it is 18th out of 22 SPAAs in total, based on earnings, so I would say it is indeed in the worse catherogy.
If we were to take stuff like smaple size, the result might be different, but sadly as Russia is one of the most, if not the most popular TT, its stats are dragged down.
You should be comparing buk to all the multi-vehicle SAMs and not all rank 8 SAMs
would be an interresting statistic to see how much CAS is spawed on russia opposing teams. I wonder if its a significant enough factor on top of the free Pantsir.

If you want to compare it purely to multi vehicle SAMs, it is 8th out of 10.
worse than claws? hell naw
I personally wouldn’t take those stats at face value. I just checked myself as well but its interresting to see how nations with two or more viable SAMs at top tier tend to have lower KD/Ss per vehicle.
When we look at America for example the SLAMRAAMs KD went down from 1.15 to 1.0 and has since gone down to 0.95 since the adition of the NASAMS. In January the american NASAMS sat at around a KD of 0.99 while the swedish one sat at a healthy 1.14.
The addition of a second viable SAM decreases the possible target count apperantly drastically enough that comparing lets say the SAMP/T with the Buk M3 on a 1 to 1 basis becomes questionable.
I would have to do a more in depth analasys of the things I just said to make them a proper counterpoint to the addition of the Pantsir SM SV.
Idk if more people experience this, but my US NASAMS is still affected by the bug where I can’t switch missile type in battle unless I physically go to the launcher vehicle and switch the missiles there.
I’m curious if the Swedish NASAMs also suffers from this often.
The BTR-3 was interesting until I saw the drop on the ATGMs
Which basically just leaves the Stryker, but eh I want a break from 200 rpm autocannons (Ajax and Boxer vs BMPT kinda broke me lmao). Guess I’ll keep playing the Rooikat Mk.1D, Mars-15, and Scimmie, and hope they add a Scorpion 90 or similar next updoot.

It’s the same as the grenade launcher in the stream. I’d say the missile just isn’t finished yet considering how it has very little drop in reality. It’s also not beam riding in game yet, so another sign pointing at a placeholder.

Given some of the comments on the dev stream, most damningly the one about devs working through the night to get the AS-90 ready… eh. I don’t really trust Gaijin. They have a ship first, fix later mindset when time crunched :/

I’m fully excited for the F-16C (F-16s just have a special place in my heart due to their looks), J-15T, Dragoon, Centauro 2 and Eitan.
I’m lowkey excited for the BTR-3, German boxer and F/A-18F.
But I’m mostly just curious if there are more unknown hidden vehicles and what they would be.
That’s fair, I just don’t like ARH gameplay much so don’t bother.
Yeah! Hopefully something nice ground wise for France. I’m coping hard for an unlikely Scorpion as always too

will j15t be good meta wise? the pl12a kinda needs to be a huge upgrade from pl12 for j15t to stand a chance

I don’t think it will be meta with only 48 countermeasures.
However that doesn’t mean it will not be decent.
