Yeah it looks and sounds dope, unfortunately it’s just super annoying to use.

kinda the E/O mast allows the launcher to us its 2 way DL it just wont have a radar to spot targets
what would you say is 3rd best then? because its between HQ-17 and FlakRakRad
That will probably be worth more, considering for multi-vehicles if either of them dies you’re gone.
Interestingly there’s some speculation that the “(pr)” tag near the SLM leak means that it comes with a “passive radar” second vehicle, which would mean you can only target airplanes/helicopters that have their radar scanning around you, in which case would make it a very weird system.
Having used all of them, my personal third best is still ADATS/HQ tied if both are used at the same BR. They are mostly tied because the HQ has a lower BR.
The HQ17 is just another case of a vehicle that looks really strong on paper but it’s just too clunky when actually used in game.
idk how you can class the ADATS 3rd best, its only thing it has is it can be used as a TD thats it

makes me wonder if they want to test that as well for the addition of SEAD/DEAD weapons
idk really, although I might be slightly biased because I have used the adats missiles a lot:

It cannot. That’s a ukrainian modification, maybe not even on the same vehicle and definitely not one that Germany is adopting.
I really like the HQ-17 and TOR and I don’t get why people call them bad.
The 2.5km dead zone is the only bad thing about it
The missile is on the slow side but super stable
And with practice it’s really easy to hit maneuvering targets
it not being third best or at best being shared third best isn’t calling it bad.
A decent pilot will have no problem exploiting it’s weaknesses and will increase the deadzone to about ~5km.
hell even as TD its kinda clunky
i had numerous time that my missiles phased through the enemies

The reason why HQ17/TOR-M1 is bad is due to they can’t deal with any low-alt targets, even though the CAS only use rockets
The best one probably is the Sovetsky Soyuz-class, unless it burns its shell room like PR69, it won’t have any weakness(even the fire power)
Well as I said within the dead zone it’s useless but outside of it it has no more issues than anything other SACLOS SPAA dealing with low alt targets
Well, yeah… it will probably be the best, yes, hahah.
But among the “famous Big Three”, I wonder which one will follow… as I have all 3 tech trees, so I would need to choose one to focus on at first.
probably yamato > soyuz > bismarck then iowa. Ive left iowa low as while it has great guns its belt will likely be found lacking at the ranges we play at.

Maybe Iowa since the class in general has the brightest future
Unless they let it bully unarmored guided missile destroyers I really don’t think they do.
