Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

There will of course be aircraft too, including a rather cool helicopter for the USA and a jet for Japan.

Just went and copied it lol

the ITO even if SPAA is kinda meh is still the second best or 3rd best SPAA in the game I dont think sweden should be the focus if there are a limited number of SPAAs coming

I don’t consider the ITO or any SPAA aside from the Pantsir as usable. I dont bother with SPAA anymore for my lineups because they are just inferior to the CAS we have. Adats is the only vehicle i still use because i can use it as a US BMP-2M when it comes to haveing 8 ready to use AT missiles.

yea they totally could use the same seeker for every new 5gen IR missile changing some numbers there and there to make them perform a little bit different from each other talking about speed, accel, drag you know…

Spectral flares would be the counter.
Dont expect them to function anywhere near realistic

the ranking is like this from worst to best

Flakrad, TOR, Adats, ITO---------------------Panstir

I’m gonna be real i haven’t touched SPAA outside of my Adats (for AT purposes) for ground because they just aren’t viable for the most part. Why bring a worthless SL piñata when i can get another fighter which has a greater chance to hurt my enemy, especially FnF helicopters are yet another problem for SPAA.

LMAO putting the ADATS above TOR and Flakrad is a joke the ADATS is the worst SACLOS SPAA at top tier the only thing it has is the ability to kill tanks

Adats is good

Its more like

Worst to best

Imp (Israel)
Otomatic (italy)
ADATS (UK)
ADATS (US)
Type 81 (Japan)
Flakrad (Germany)
ITO (France and Sweden)
HQ17 (china)

Pantsir (Soviets)

Ive been doing pretty well with SPAA at top tier I can normally manage 2 maybe 3 plane with my ADATS

They mentioned a jet for Japan, so other than the PS-1 with that boundary layer control jet, we could also get this:

Mixed propulsion, and should slot well after the G8N1!

Anyways, watch how Gaijin will give Russia Panstir S1M this update

Gripen is again stuck being our only effective CAP/CAS. F-18 is too slow, no K band, and the Gripen is just too limited to effectively multirole. Its a poor excuse for a selection of aircraft, i ignore the F-18 in place of the AJS at 13.0 as at least i can have one somewhat competent CAP aircraft and not some useless mach 1.0 jet placed at the same BR as its counterpart 2 decades newer.

Even worse, the F-86D with only rockets

Its poor at shooting down aircraft and ordinance.
1st gen thermals and is missing its TWS system.
I prefer the Stormer

I wish i didn’t just fight KH-38MT lol, id love to have those types of matches. I think i need to feed the snail to get those types of matches.

Seriously past 10km its not gonna hut anything as the missiles start to swing uncontrollably at a target flying in a straight line.

If we are going on fighting fixed wing CAS, then Type 81 is better than ADATS

If we are going on fighting helis then ADATS is better.

The ability for the Type 81 to pop out of cover, fire a automated weapon and then get back into cover beats out the 1 ish km of extra range but having to sit still like a lemon guiding it and the ADATS missile is easy to beat kinematically
