things can change and I believe they are working on it.
but Gaijin still need some real vehicle choices to make the change.
If set pantsir equal as a standard, the US SL-AMRAAM, and SA G6 HVM with ARH, CN FK1000/2000 can be equal.
FK1000/2000 is just Pantsir similar system, while the other 2, is FNF but closer range, though still farther than existing things.
that’s why it would be too op. it’s 17km is different.
like 81C’s effective range is much farther than 2S6. FB-10A in 625E can create a dead zone about 13+km, and a none warning danger zone of 17km
I am fairly confident that the SPYDER will come sooner than later. Not sure what is available for US and Britain however. But preferrably they should come now.
Tbh. I think HVSD/ADAMs is a much better option for Israel than Spyder right now.
But I suppose with Spyder, they could also give a Singaporean one to Japan(?) at the same time, so that may make it more likely. Chaparral is prime example that we only get AA if they can give it to someone else too lol.
Speaking of CAS, Perhaps we can see PGZ625E in the next version. someone found a missile launcher suspected to be part of the PGZ625E air defense system in the game files. The FB10A missile used by the 625E has a range of 18km and is guided by both radar beam and infrared imaging, enabling post launch locking and FNF. As a SPAA around 2020, its strength is not weaker than pantsirS1
But the missile discovered with it was not FB10A, but the more outdated FB10, 9km, IR image guided. It feels strange to have such an advanced SPAA appear in the game but only use outdated missiles that it has never used before, although it is balanced
It’s not that suitable for the game. it will have even bigger none moveable range, and it still needs guidence, so it’s hard for it to use it’s range. enemy plane just need to stay under horizon and get close, then the 40km pantsir will cry
Both Type 625E and the older FB-10 Mobile Air Defence System use the same or very similar launch tubes.
EDIT No.1: After closer inspection, it does seem the FB-10 launch tubes miss the little stub, but they should be able to duplicate the model and remove the stub.
EDIT No.2: It looks like the stub is a Type 625E only thing, as there is another AD platform with 8 LY-70 and 6 FB-10A missiles, where the FB-10A launch tubes are missing the little stub.
EDIT No.3: Looking at the launch tube model again, it really is a Type 625E one.
I would love a patch that restructures the game modes to make them more fun, team-oriented, and worthwhile. While I understand the need for arcade, realistic battles, and simulation modes, playing the same game modes for 12 years has become a bit stale.
I just want this area of the game to be revitalized. It feels like everything else is getting an uplift, so why not one of the oldest, untouched mechanics of the game?
