Hi guys.
I’ve been noticing people expressing… complaining about the weaknesses of the new modern SPAA systems and how they can not successfully engage certain targets at certain ranges. Or how certain types of missiles are unable to intercept munitions or even how the multipath issue is letting many enemies escape.
While i believe MP should stay in the game to a certain extent, there is a solution that can be offered to the playerbase for the rest of these issues.
I shall list my solution below, and i hope to hear your feedback as well.
- Reported bugs for SPAA should receive priority for fixes.
- Missing features such as LDIRCCM should be implemented in all missiles have them.
- IRL, these modern SPAA systems are designed to provide medium to long-range cover and defence. However, that is not to say that they are all that there is. These systems can and are organised and designed in such a way to also instruct short range gun based systems to shoot down threats that either dont require expensive long range missiles or are too close for engagement with such missiles.
Hence, i suggest that these new systems be supplemented with compatible SPAAGs for short-range defence.
This idea is not limited to SPAAGs but also compatible SACLOS SPAAs.
One such example is the swiss skyguard system.

While it is neither in game nor a self propelled system, it works well as an example.
One radar system is connected to multiple gun platforms as well as SHORAD missile launchers.
Many similar systems exist and some are even in game currently.
Above all, i hope that this provides instruction and suggestion to gaijin about how to improve or add new and better anti CAS measures (ofcourse as proportionally with the increase in CAS effectivness and their self defense measures).
I await my fellow players thoughts on this.
In the meanwhile:
- Yes
- No
If no, i encourage your input.
Regards.
PS. Please also suggest/inform everyone about the systems that can be integrated into the current radar systems in the game.
I will be constructing a list below for each nation:
USA
Centurion/Phalanx C-RAM
Russia
Pantsir…
we dont need a pic for this lol
France
French Armed Forces to expand use of 30mm and 40mm air defense systems to protect military bases
Japan
type 87 because i couldnt find any other option. i hope some creative liberties can be taken even if this SPAAG doesnt have datalink
Britain
Italy
Also might be getting Skynex
Sweden
China
china is yet to receive their multi vehicle SPAA but here we have the perfect example
HQ-11 SAM battery. The SAM launcher is an AIO with its own search radar. It can be datalinked with the nearby CIWS (30mm gatling gun) (with AHEAD ammunition)
