The thing with Pantsir is, it actively drove a CAS arm’s race. It constantly fueled ‘We need better AGM!’, ‘We need better GBU!’ type additions to counter Pantsir.
And now, we’re at a point where CAS has gotten so ridiculous even Pantsir can struggle, which means all the other SPAA which is far worse than Pantsir, doesn’t have a hope in hell.
Pantsir equivalent SPAA will mean that CAS never dies and continues being OP.
And the only people that realize this are CAS players that DO NOT want CAS to be unkillable anymore.
We need SPAA at least as good as SPYDER since February of 2023.
Only low-aspect. High-aspect and the speed + verticality makes hitting it impractical.
Also Soviets have no counter against long range CAS in War Thunder currently. They have no SPYDER equivalent SPAA at this time.
@ExecutivOutcomes
No, Pantsir equivalent is a toxic narrative that protects CAS.
War Thunder needs SPYDER equivalent SPAA.
Nah, it’s fine.
So Britain and China are getting SPAA that are somewhat close to the Pantsir’s capabilities this update.
I wonder when we can see that for other nations.
Anyway, there’s a billion topics discussing Pantsir / CAS.
To spiral back to R&R, what is everyone most excited for this update based on the list?
Is this not addressed in the
referring to better SPAAs than the Pantsir
J-10B, J-11B
Eurofighter F.2
Aren’t like half of these planes unarmed?
Imagining DC-3 players flying around, just head-larping that they’re dropping non existent para’s lol.
The thing is @AlvisWisla when people say “Pantsir Equivalent” they are asking for an SPAA of at least the same calibre and will be more than pleased if they got an SPAA even better than the Pantsir. There is no need to get so bogged down in semantics and word choice.
Gonna sound dumb and loops kinda back into the topic at hand, but the ZA-HVM, I’ve been stock grinding the OSA-AK and Stormer AD recently and it’s been a right lark bullying cas and helis (except on Arctic, for the love of god gaijin we need longer lock ranges, 1.5km and no lock on a heli is insane). ZA-HVM should be even better at it, though I hope the BR is too high.
I was hoping the FV101 of the previous (fake?) lists would be true but eh, what can you do.
Speaking of transport aircraft. I would absolutely adore if WT had a sort of Logistics role / System.
You know in games like Wargame where you got a fob and have to ferry supplies to the front?. Lemme do that. Lemme deliver my friendly SPAA ammo in a Chinook or something.
Some days i have critical skill issues, so would like a way to be usefully useless.
Would have been cool if ammo boxes were delivered by planes rather than just materializing out of thin air.
just like all other not so bright opinions that you have on hot topics of this game, I can’t find any logic in this statement as well
ADATS Commander : Well Lads, were out of missiles. Looks like we’re making a suicide dash to the magic summoning circle to get more. I expect none of us to survive.
ADATS Driver : …Actually boss…
ADATS Commander : ?
ADATS Driver : I have been sat on this amazon sized parcel which contains 8 more this entire time.
ADATS Commander : …
I hate this in ALL games…lack of animations and interactions with equipment/weapons, environment around your character or vehicle 😒 seems like rushed work by devs.
The little details make all the difference!
So what? Wouldn’t you like to fly unarmed in a civilian plane?
Have you ever heard of Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane?
Maybe, but I prefer War Thunder
Just put a red cross on a plane and people will be banned for breaking international law
