Pantsir will still be good, can it hit targets 40km away no…But neither can the IRIS-T likely engagement and kill windows will be closer to 20-25km Aircraft are not just going to fly in a straight line and not try to defeat the missile.
Pantsir still has an incredible Radar, lethal missile and 12 missiles loaded ready to go.
Comparing it to ADATS or Flakrad is disingenuous
Would I have liked each nation to receive a new sam of course but that’s not how Gaijin works and after Pantsir domination I am not against another nation/s coming in and dominating for a little while.
Well the fact it wasn’t in the trailer leads me to believe it isn’t coming.
and if they jam it in to the 2nd dev server we know it will be a broken mess when it comes to live.
The 2A6M CAN has neither the improved internal composites nor the add-on armour, apart from the PSO’s glacis plate. It does have gen 2 thermals though.
I could say the same thing when comparing the SLM with the pantsir
No, the swedish one has 20km of max, just like the pantsir, you are supporting the SLM when it unbalances everything.
Lets put it simple, the Swedish one has 20km, the Japanese one would also be around a similar range, the pantsir has 20km of range too, the only one that shoots is the German one at 40km, now do you see it?
NATO doesn’t have ordinance that outranges the Pantsir/new non-SLM SAMs. The issue was that the Pantsir was better than Nato SAMs on top of Kh-38MTs outranging them.
