A lot of people want war thunder to be as realistic and historical as possible which can not be done.
As I say war thunder is a game it shouldn’t mimic real life
There’s no guarantee the EMADS isnt coming yet, tho it seems unlikely. Also, the ADATS is arguably superior to the FlaRakRad, having tha ability to actually defend itself along with more than 2 missiles at the ready. FlaRak has more range but thats about it
But yeah if you want to play a real sim then go to DSC
same for Python 5

If the ADATS is to be judged by its TD ability and not its SAM ability then its still weaker than most 10.0 ATGM launchers. Judging it by its ability to maybe get an ATGM off at a tank before it can one shot you really isnt that big of a deal.
FlakRad having the superior AA performance is the key thing to consider. yes, its not great, not as good as the big 3. But Id take 10-12km over 8-10km but can maybe kill a tank on occasion any day of the week
ADATS
Can kill tanks
8 missiles ready
FlaRakRad
More G pull
A tracer past 3km
max range of 12km
seems to me one is a lot better at killing planes
Israel had no SPAA to speak of, China had TOR, not as good as Pantsir but they are getting something similar, Sweden is a minor nation too but they had ItO90 and Japan also received something
Germany has had to deal with the worst top tier SPAA for the longest time, makes sense as to why Germany would be the one to receive SLM.
Russia isn’t even getting anything in this update too lol.
The only outliers are Italy, France/UK/USA, which Gaijin will follow up in the future for sure.
We have to just hope its September and not March

Italy suffers…
Seriously though, Italy really deserved something better than OSA and OTOMATIC 😭
Whole premise of game is to have military stuff from different countries. Ofc it cannot be 1:1 historically accurate but a degree of realism in content and mechanics is to be expected.
And anyways, there is no reason to drag down the vast number of US additions. You have no good reason for this tbh. It’s not like ppl are asking for the death star

Oh no I know its simple give the 4 nations ARMs while the other 6 get nothing seems fair, its fair that these 4 nations are being left to rot so ya know
It’s been utterly miserable.
Words can’t express how desperately I await Spyder.
Dear god let the leaks be true lol.

Isreal is rumored to be getting an approximate equivalent (Spyder AIO) and Japan is also getting something, tho im not sure if its something of equivalent range or just adding a multi-vehicle radar for the existing Type-81(C).
Its not a case of “absence of relevant systems for minor nations”, its just an absence of relevant systems for some nations.
Yeah, this major update should have been
Israel, Italy (UK as well as they virutally use the same system ), and Japan. US ideally as well. Maybe Germany but I think the Flakrad is mostly fine (for now)
France, Sweden, China and Soviets next major.
Just feels like they are going backwards

Japan is getting a new type 81 with radar and a ARH missle tho range will be not the best of around 14~15km

nah flaradrak aint fine at all, Ito argurably better, 8 missiles that doesnt need reload, more manuverable
I’m ready to ditch the FlaRakRad, so tired of the Roland turret being utter garbage.

still better then ADATS the only reason ADATS is 11.7 is because it can kill tanks if it couldnt it would be a 10.3 SPAA
Range isnt everything, having only 2 missiles at a times on the FlaRak and being unable to choose when to reload makes it borderline worthless as an GBAD in the current meta. It cant even duel helis, never mind the current jets. The ADATS on the other hand can.
