New spaa going to be useless . If 3-5 players first spawn is spaa their putting there team at a major disadvantage. If your second spawn is spaa your putting yourself at a disadvantage you can’t really leave your spawn area & you can’t defend yourself against MBT camping spawn.

i think its a good trade off for how insane they are at keeping the skies clear.

Thats to be seen, I have a feeling they are going to be same situation the pantsir is now maybe slightly better. Which means good CAS players are going to laugh at these. Didn’t they limit the german one to 12km instead of 40km? Thats gonna be a huge problem, it might be worse than the pantsir even in certain situations.
Are they really that good? They can hug the floor and once they close the distance and suddenly pop up and mg these new guys, there is nothing they can do about it.
The biggest advantage is going to be seperate vehicles, a lot of good CAS players play on the edge or behind something and use 3rd person to look for smoke trails to find the system, but since they are seperated they can’t really do that to find the radar system, so they gonna have to wait for a drone scout or assume they are in spawn.
Let’s see:
They needed how many Gs the German one can pull
Nerfed the range of the IRIS-T
They are massive compared to the Pantsir
Relying on the game to track the missiles over the player’s hand
Can be defeated by being close to the ground or high in the sky
Swedish one gets only four heavily nerfed missiles with pathetic tracking
Meanwhile CAS players get more stuff to spam from 30km away.

SLM is quite insane, and it is currently gimped atm. It lofts a bit too much, so anything under 5km can kill it, problem is that you need to be undetected until then because a single radar return is enough time for it to fire and kill you. Additionally, it being IR means you have no idea you’re being shot at anyways.
and just to remind you again, it’s currently not at full potential lol
Good luck flying above 20km
Right, that’s why the Swedish thing cannot track 70°
Did someone post a bug report for it?
I believe someone did. Question is, will Gaijin accept it or will they continue to nerf SPAAs to cater to people playing GROUND BATTLES improperly.
Ahh yes. The enemy team will have tanks and a lot of spaa, also CAS. My team will die at the hands of CAS. If i’ll try to spawn CAS, i’ll have to deal with some 4 sam sites, 2 Su-30s slingging R-77-1s at me and the ocassional Strela
Pretty sure nobody cares. Same about 1 death leavers
It’s less of a disadvantage than spawning CAS.
They will be good but the maps, the maps are not it man, too small, too cramped, there’s nowhere to hide in most maps and your spinning radar the size of a house sticks out like a sore thumb. They will suffer a lot if Gaijin doesn’t put more effort in map design and spawn locations.
Honestly they’re very interesting addition and that’s why I’ll completely focus my time into ground while playing top tier, the amount of missiles a single anti-air system can spam in a very short time is hypnotising looking at the amount of smoke trails going into the sky.
