Yeah, I do agree, though at the moment, I dont see a solution that allows everyone to get something even half as good as the Pantsir without just taking a big jump forward.
Also, IIR will not be even 1/10th its IRL strength, I fully imagine they will be flareable.
But once we get better SPAA, we can stop nerfing CAS
The turning point would probably be be the propagation of a gun based system with HE-VT & 360 degrees AESA coverage e.g. Sgt Stout so basically everyone has a chance of reliably intercepting incoming ordnance.
So the Kills per Flyout of should drop dramatically, which at least goes a significant portion of the way to fixing issues with CAS as long as cover is being provided and somewhat aware.
Or they just add spectral flares and model countermeasures better
Even if we get full IR signature model overhaul so that IR signatures were actually modeled properly as well as proper IIR countermeasures like BOL being properly modeled. IIR is never going to be undefeatable without those. Its a game, there will always be a degree of defence
Well yeah that’s the whole point of adding more advanced countermeasures, so IIR is not guaranteed death
Yes, but even then, they’ll help, but they wont be a hard requirement.
and thats just assuming they get modeled.
Im still expecting IIR to be more like IRCCM+. More difficult to defeat than what we’ve got, but not dramatically so
Just look out how Aim-9M and PL-8B is modeled or most of the ARH missiles. Massively restricted to maintain balance
Yeah probably will be like that
We might not have to wait long. The teased Type 625E has AESA and AHEAD like munitions, should make intercepting munitions very cheap and fast.
However potentially with that, Gaijin may buff missile/bomb damage models again to take more effort to destroy with guns, so that using more expensive (or rather less plentiful) missiles has some advantage.
Whichever AI drew the sekrit dokument guy makes me feel unease
it would be Chatgpt lol
India doesn’t have pantsir, a MoU was signed last year for co production but no further updates on it.
However UK could recieve SPYDER with python 5 or the TRISHUL anti air
Just sounds like even more reason to actually develop and add the SkySabre, or failing that, the Supacat HVM
Well, here’s my predictions right now for what could come this update.
Do you have any news on this breaking picture?
The only leakers known to be credible are Yukari33, Olivia, and the guys in the WT Snail Mine discord server. I don’t trust any others.
id like an option to opt out of those awful big arb maps, they dont change anything and just involve boring lengths of flying straight. yes, above 12.0 theyre needed, but below that please stop shoving them down our throats ffs, its especially agravating for 10.3/10.7 planes sucked up into early sarh meta without the ranged weapons to actually participate.
this is kind of a siderant against people who keep pushing arb ec as well.
We need large maps at higher tiers, Even at 10.7 you have things that fly mach 2.0 have all aspect IR missiles.
You need to have the oportunity to gain separation especially in jets that dont have all aspect missiles, limited countermeasures and or substandard flight performance.
Aim9X…and 120C5 if credible the US will be eating good.
I dont see 120C5 being added to other nations to start with. Typhoon would then just outclass the F/A-18E or F-15E that carry the 120C.
Maybe F-4F KWS, Tornado F.3 Late, SHAR etc
