The Patriot is coming this year according to the leak, so while America is far from great at AA now, they will likely be one of the best within six months.

I require more interesting combat in the Third dimension
and SPAAs are a Requirement for that
the leaked Patriot has been shown already as an asset in the last Update teaser
so it’s likely that that’s it
I’m not very confident that Patriots will be playable, but then again I don’t know the extent to which Gaijin plans on allowing players to control in a match. I hope we end up getting some GRB reworks in light of the new SPAA.

When technical limitations were mentioned, it reminded me to ask…
Are there any plans to implement dual-plane (bank-to-turn) guidance for missiles in sooner or later?
Missiles like the AIM-54 and Aspide used dual-plane guidance in real life, but are currently modeled with single-plane guidance in the game. As a result, their performance is not accurately represented. These missiles were added years ago, but there has been no visible progress on this issue.

I guess it will be just SL-AMRAAM, Patriot, S-300 should be some kind of SEAD mode thing.
not sure about BUK.
Probably not
Its 2 weeks feom the forst dev blog
That doesn’t indicate that they are player-controlled.
we’ll see
I stay by my guess
It doesn’t indicate that they aren’t, either.
Considering we were talking about playable SPAA earlier, I would argue not knowing is enough to not bother bringing Patriot into the discussion.
well, as Static targets for a future SEAD mode they’re definitely perfectly suited
From what I know, the Buk is Russia’s next step from the Pantsir, and I also expect the SLAMRAAM at least before the Patriot.
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
