No, they don’t.
Helicopters just need rotor wash so they can’t defeat radar missiles by existing anymore.
Yeah, poop NATO forces don’t need decent SPAAs to defend themselves, let’s just give it all to Russia man
I admit other nations should get better and newer SPAAs, but honestly the new Pantsir SM-SV doesn’t look like a big threat, and the only good thing of it is that it can intercept 110% of the incoming spam of Mavericks and SPICE 250.
🤔can’t say I’ve deflected missiles with rotor wash yet
need to try that sometime
Something the Pantsir S1 already did only now you get vastly better missiles
oh, I should mention the worst part:
it’s not a truck anymore so you can expect Pantsir SMs to larp on the frontline as an IFV like the 2S6s regularly do, pushing the stats down and justifying something more insane for USSR in the near future
oh
also because the BUK is no longer the tippy top of the branch Gaijin will probably make it the free SPAA for top tier games
Unfortunately Draco wasn’t fully functional, so has low chances to appear in the game, plus it’s not clear how Dart would perform in WT.
Although Italy with multiplatform systems introduction can actually have at least a few systems between SAMP/T and Romanian OSA-AKM:
