Does the TOR need to face a target? Doesn’t the missile just spin towards where the target is?
The SLM and SLS do have an unimpeded 360 degree launch window.

Meh, if chaff already does jack all against a pantsir, i can’t see how it can do much against an even bigger AESA radar, the thing that matters more is the distance where the missile goes terminal.

Well the Chinese spaa and the Swedish SLS are bound to be better, especially the Chinese one.
Did the Russians modernize the Strela, like ever?

U can sort of do it by selecting the auto lead but it is really inconsistent and the fact that u still have to lock on by looking in the direction and locking with basically ACQ is ridiculous. Should have been like AIM7P, TWS + datalink launch.

Also really easy to implement.

8356

US only on that one though

8358

Oh, so exciting, around what time could i expect the Teaser? :)

Think the North Koreans did some stuff or maybe Vietnam, don’t think the Russians were very into that once 2S6 came along. (they got a new toy so they kinda ditched the old ones)
The one we got in game is pretty much the 1989 version of Strela.

that’s why it’s only under the ADATS…

They are both called the ADATS. The UK has one too, without the gun

I think it’s pretty easily implied that if the 25mm gun is there I am specifically talking about the US’s ADATS.

8364

forget it lol

8365

Yes, but the conversation earlier was just as much about the UK not getting a new SPAA as it was the US.

i laughed a lot

ok? just ignore the 25mm gun part then, idc

8368

The tracking radar in theory can only track so much of the front hemisphere, but there shouldn’t be anything stopping it from firing just with TWS and not having to lock with ACQ.

I figured it does pretty well against TOR especially in LEAD mode. The radar is too good, sees every chaff as individual targets lol.

we have a upgraded 9M333 missile can be added
and the Sosna-R with 9M337 (more a small 2S6 but it is designed to replace Strela)

Krona-E with 9M333 and 9M340 (the Strela missile is back)

I know currently Czechoslovakia is just the odd vehicle but IF the L-39 is solidifying it into the USSR tree, then the tree is dead, though as you mention stuff can be moved around.

As for why I brought up Romania, it could of been a subtree to provide some lower tier vehicles and fill in gaps left by Hungary. However with the fact we see several Romanian vehicles in Italy already, I have my doubts.

Romanian vehicles can fill gaps in Hungarian subtree)
Hopefully they will, despite Romania hasn’t been confirmed to be a subtree, we know (by actions and comments) that their vehicles are housed within the Italian TT.

anything new in the last hour?

Buk is gonna be huge in terms of nations, seeing how underwhelming the EldE is for now (until dev server) Finland potentially getting the Buk will be the only saving grace, also pretty sure Hungary can get it and of course Russia. Decent roster honestly
