Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

And then suddenly

F-15E → AGM-65D → Pantsir SM-SV

hello Rzi4628-live

Speaking of, I wonder how the GBU-53’s warhead will perform since it isn’t just HE like the GBU-39

How are TheZillaThunder

It just sucks that in order to kill a 90 SP Pantsir with a 900 SP F-15E you have to be insanely competent to not get shot down while the Pantsir can be totally clueless and shoot you down in 5 sec with Hypersonic Fantasy dart missiles

since its not GNSS guided it wont deviate 7m off the target so any HE 10kg or higher will be good enough for a direct hit

I mean that’s fine by me, CAS is supposed to be more skillful imo anyway.

Average CAS players be like: fly straight and up in the sky

In the future F-15EX with 28 GBU-53 and 2 AGM-88 could be good for this

Why should I have to spend 900 well earned SP in a game if I can’t even guarantee at least some ground kills if someone on the enemy team decided they wanted to spawn in their free 12.0 Pantsir?

It’s ultimately a net negative for the both of us if i decide to play it super safe where the SPAA can’t get any kills from me but I can’t kill any ground targets with all my stuff getting intercepted, we just end up doing nothing for 5-10 minutes.

The only way to play CAS effectively fly yourself suicidally towards the battlefield launching at 3 people have 2 mavericks only get a crit because tracking and post pen are dumb and the one target you kill spawns in an SPAA and will make it their life goal to hunt you down the rest of the game if you survive the first strafe

CAS shouldn’t be the easy win button in most scenario, end of the day the objective is either to wipe enemies or cap points to drain the tickets.

It’s just that, with how most WT players playing this game, by the time you get to spawn into CAS, 75% of your own team has already left the game and make it impossible to suppress the enemies on the ground, or your team curbstomps the enemies so hard there’s no point spawning CAS either way.

It should be a hell of a lot more easy than how it is to play SPAA but most importantly any Russian SPAA past BR 10.3

Anything North Korean would basically be Gaijin’s fantasy since there is ZERO information available, not even vague stuff from company brochures and websites most top tier stuff is based on.

Spookston will be in bliss because North Korea solved the USA CAS issue by making anti-air everyone’s job.

There main guns might have gotten a prox shell to fight the helicopters from some reports

You act like 900 SP is a lot and takes a lot of effort.

I agree with AquaUselessGod. CAS shouldn’t be an even more braindead crutch for players with skill issue in tanks.

Rocket pods are a great way to counter pantsir and you dont even need 900 sp for rocket pods.

you will have to wait till the 1989th day

Afaik that’s also already the Iglas job (because helis have IR signatures IRL contrary to what war thunder will tell you)

The point of giving prox shells to tanks was a cheap way to solve the Anti-Air coverage issues tanks can get into (USA reason to develop it) it’s better then nothing and provides something for helicopter pilots to think about.
