Seriously tho, do you really think it wouldn’t make a difference when it was literally made against Kontakt-5 which like 90% of T-80s is covered with?
Yes, anti-ERA tips aren’t modelled because it would make russia less strong.
Its warranted. Its the same people that were saying the Gripen wont be that good and then it ended up being the best aircraft in the game until the F-15C and even then the Gripen is still the best dogfighter in the game and the Eurofighter is just a bigger Gripen with slightly better flight perf so
Wasnt it M829A2 that was made against Kontakt-5?
Thought it was the A3.
Nope, the A3 was specifically made against it. A4 is against Relikt.
Well a quick wikipedia search says otherwise, A2 was our immediate reaponse to Kontakt-5 and A3 was to future proof our ammo
I swear most people don’t even play the Pantsir and have no idea what it’s like to use it. Yes you can shoot down most weaponry, yes you can detect most weaponry, yes you can detect basically everything in the sky…
But even with the new ammo-crate mechanic, you only have 12 missiles ready at a time, you might get a third or fourth missile if you are firing ASAP and your crate is built early.
Spamming those small gps bombs, firing multiple ordinance, especially from separate locations, and just maneuvering wildly at elevation and with high speed makes tackling it all incredibly hard for one competent Pantsir operator. It’s rare to have more than one competent Pantsir player in a game.
Typically, this all ends up becoming a high-stakes joust where you deplete your A2G ordnance and the Pantsir depletes it’s missiles, and that’s it.
It was already hard to tackle things like the Gripen on the verge of the envelope, I don’t want to imagine the F-15E (I haven’t played top-tier GRB since before the patch).
Wikipedia says the A3 was made against Kontakt-5.
I think you might have misread it.
“With the Soviet creation of the Kontakt-5 Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA), the M829A2 was the US immediate response, developed in part to take on this new ERA type”
Further it says
“The M829A3 is a further improvement, designed to defeat any future armor protection methods, like ‘Kaktus’ ERA, which was seen on the now canceled prototype tank, the Object 640 “Chiorny Oriol” (Black Eagle) (sometimes falsely named the T-80UM-2).[6”
Running CAP is a necessity, and SPAMRAAM makes it super easy to do. Not sure why people aren’t doing that. The whole point of playing GRB is to enjoy the merging of Fighters, Bombers, Helicopters, Light Vehicles/IFV’s, and Tanks…

like u said, anti era isnt modelled , there is already rounds in the game with anti era capability
the a3 wouldnt matter much as of right now

the F-15E is unironically the scariest plane in GRB. Yes the Su-34 has KH38s but it didn’t change much from the SM3 and tbh in some cases I’d trade the 2 extra missiles for the thermals of the SM3
The 15E meanwhile is the 2nd best CAS jet in the game from a payload perspective, while also being the best air superiority aircraft in the game simultaneously.
THAT RIGHT THERE is comedy
Mate im literally copying it from Wikipedia
peak source btw
oh good god he brings in wikipedia , please TT never do that again
Idk. I just played 5 games in my Pantsir to try it again.
5 games, 5 wins, 10 kills and 2 deaths.
Kills were a wide variety like a Gripen, F-16C, F-16D, F-15E, Apache, AV-8B and A-10A (credit to this guy, he used the terrain well to get close. Not that it helped though) for the few I can remember.
EDIT: like I said, I don’t understand why you have such difficulties with the Pantsir. I even shot down a manouvring AV-8B at 12-14km out.
It’s a damn radar bro. The effective engagement envelope is 12km if the pilot is absolutely braindead. This chart is honestly meaningless.
Wikipedia IS a good source if used properly. I already cross refrenced what it says
