19

tough crowd

Insert absolute cinema

21

Russia has multiple more modern Pantsir versions, that are all on the table

22

which version of the Pantsir?
They upgraded them lots

23

also movable hitboxes would be nice…

24

Why do you need SPAA if you have Pansir?

25

Have you seen how the radar works after the update? Not to mention the way the ef2000 and rafale players maneuver, then dodge the missile…

i think the S-350 with its short range missiles would be a good one. since some of its missiles are pretty similar to the iris range wise

36

Before that fix the CS/SA5 first

37

Is there still something wrong with that vehicle?

38

wrong place to complain about that

If we are talking about single vehicle short range air defence we have 3 options:

  • Sosna ADMS. More of a follow up to Strela, less capable than Pantsir but with some advantages.
  • Tor M-2. Kind of a sidegrade compared to Pantsir-S1.
  • Pantsir-SM-SV. This is the big upgrade over Pantsir-S1, especially if its the SV model, with the tracked chassis. Seriously I´m hating Pantsir-S1 for being on a lousy truck.

Now, talking medium range, multi vehicle its either Buk-M3 or S-350. Older versions of Buk just won´t cut it but wouldn´t rule out introducing them far below top tier.

Buk-M3 is a far better system at medium range than anything currently ingame and its Telars can operate independently. And 70km capable ARH says everything else. Perhaps this alone will force aircraft to spawn much further than they do right now (about 20-30km) just to give them a chance to go extremely low and avoid detection.
S-350 if introduced now should be artificially nerfed and lacking its 9M96 missiles, which is a self defeating move IMO so it could well wait a year or two when we get a new top tier.

So, Buk-M3 would be the right choice in my opinion.
