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
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.
