BUK is actually weaker than Pantsir. Pantsir for the game mode and map sizes we have is the best SHORAD system in the world. Russia would be better with the Pantsir S2
BUK will struggle to shoot down ordinance but will have a longer range in game than the current Pantsir S1
How so?
Tho the patriots are also used by Germany, Japan, ex-Israel, Sweden as well. Personally i believe they will be playable gaijin themselves said “heavier” SAM systems in the works.
in the Russian air defence Hierarchy yes
but just like S-300 and Patriot it’s a stationary Multi vehicle system, and the ones we’ve seen so far and leaked so far are at least a bit more compact stationary systems
BUK is an older system designed to shoot down aircraft. While it has been modernised with the BUK M3
It’s Radar is not as advanced as Pantsir and it can only have 4 missiles ready to launch
BUK is a medium range system up to 70km but in the closer range 15km engagements we have in game Pantsir is superior
it’s older and made for longer ranges
it’s a Missile that’s not made for short range high mobility but rather for long range and high speed
it’s likely quite inagile
it was a joke
Every nation without FnF SPAA will be worse off, Pantsir S2 or not, a plane is still able to just pop out and launch whatever FnF weapon it has without getting hit by SACLOS munitions, but with FnF at least you have a hope of mutual kills.
Also the S2 missiles that have 40km range don’t have proxy fuses and are supposed to Impact to kill.
the same is true for most older Medium to Long range systems
how good that IRIS-T is coming for sweden…
Oh
Well i wish it rly is😅
Yes but against a Su-34 you’ll still have to hide and hope it comes closer, but you’ll wipe the floor with typhoons.
Pantsir can have an auto track mode, implemented for the later models. Russian operater is not guiding a Pantsir missile manually at ranges up to 20kms. Like Stormer you fire and the reticle tracks the target.
Pantsir S2 can use the same missiles as the S1 they can mix and match payloads with some kintetic rounds and proximity missiles.

The V-4 concept is very much still alive, while yes the soviet union does house Czechoslovak vehicles, they’re confirmed to be only gap fillers and not part of a sub tree, same thing has been done with Israel in the past, and besides it means more in-game models! While yes Hungary is stuck in Italy and I don’t understand why you included Romania, there are still plenty of other alternatives to bring it into the game
PLEASE I BEG, we need similar maps like falklands but for tank battles. just nice large hilly terrain to fight on with multiple objectives and things to do like convoy attacks, defense/ push, etc.
Against Su-30/34 and probably the Rafale they can use their payloads from further ranges.
Against Typhoon/EF with Brimstones and F-15s with AGM-65 it will be lethal.
Also there are no airliners in game which the BUK can shine against.
Welp, this comment is likely going to get nuked. I just had to say it.
Unless they add Maritime patrol aircraft XD
Yeah sadly any system if your team dont have the training or competence to operate it can lead to tragedy
Still requires LOS to the Pantsir which is what I’m referencing with FnF, the missiles from an SLM and most other launchers of it’s kind (CAMM/MICA VL/Spyder) will have a kind of ballistic arch to them, which coupled with the independent IR seeker will make it so even if a target hides from your radar the missile will still be able to see them.
So targets can’t just hide away behind terrain, unless of course gajiin makes the seeker trash and can be flared away easily.
