You mean that IRIS-T which cant kill 90% of the Helis you face?
Yea, realy strong

it’s a problem of all AAs that aren’t optic-tracked, IRIS-T is not the best but even in his nerfed state remains a really good AA

Hopefully 2a6EX soon and like the 2 2a7+ :3

When everyone else gets ultra modern tanks of similar capabilities

and to no ones surprise only 1 nation has one of those at the moment (well, actually they have 2 competitive examples at top tier)

Practically useless for war thunder the regular 2a4 was basically a fancy 2a7. While cool it wouldn’t be 2a7V capabilities

You can still report it though? Gripen E just had its weight nerfed from a recent report.

indeed gaijin should fully nerf the magical barrier of helis, although russia has no fault if they focused a lot more on optical tracked missile AAs unlike Nato

(btw i agree that SM-SV wasn’t minimally needed eh)

The point is though.

It would be simple to nerf LDIRCM (such as making IRIS-T immune to it like it is IRL)

It would be likewise simple to make ARH SAMs better too. MP can be set on a missile to missile basis already in the code. Instead its just set to 60m for everything. And there is already code to allow SAM radars to track helis, there is no reason why this code couldnt also be given to aircraft and Fox-3s.

But its been over a year now, and nothing… no fix, no changes, nothing. Helis remain immune to all SAMs except one, the Pantsirs.

And then yeah, they through the SM-SV in when it was really really really not needed

You don’t understand Russia suffers

and i agree on this indeed

i mean, in their niche ADATS, ITO and Flarakrad are doing their job well, people are using them a lot and are somewhat keeping the problem controllable although not minimally fun or balanced

as said i do agree, while i’d say the BUK-M3 is really one poor PoS…

Don’t forget the comically bad performance at intercepting munitions

None come even close to the Pantsir S1 which is somehow still 12.0 and not 12.3 or 12.7 where it should be and the ADATS/FaRakRad are only doing okay because they are 11.7 and can avoid the worst of the CAS at top tier. But would be DOA at 12.0.

Its the strongest of the ARH SAMs at the moment, due to the missiles being very fast and having a large warhead. Also the Missiles seem to have a good flight path for dealing with MP.

Still waiting for the CAMM/CAMM-ERs to get DL re-enabled, that was reported a year ago? Let alone the CAMM-ERs have half the range they should. Plenty of examples of issues with the Spyder and other top tier SAMs too

the missile is good, but the radar is excruciatingly bad, you literally use it without the main radar lmao
dunno if you have it, but if you talk with actual serious people about it, everyone will tell you its really not good

waiting indeed for something good for israel, china and sweden, really dont wanna play AA with them

i didn’t speak about him indeed for what you said, just spoke more for nato side

Ah, a feature that other SAMs have reported but yet to get, the ability to fire without the main radar

are we talking of vehicles or having a race for who has it worse?

The point is…

For the soviets, its a given it will be good, it will get bug fixes, it will get new features, etc etc.

Everyone else seems to be fighting over the scraps of whatever is left

To take this back to my previous point. The ONLY Area where the soviets arent defacto the best, is in MBTs… We shall have to wait and see how long that lasts. I give it 1-2 major updates

Same for SLM

I just want the German Mach 7 Roland missile

i’d love to see that one, i remember the suggestion for it
