Patriot System : 12.0 Added to give the US and Germany the same range as the BUK M3

Thats the issue, just another case where two Mi28 with Lmur dismantled the whole team including Iris T. You just can’t do anything vs. the most common air threat. Everyone spamming DIRCM helis. Shoting volley, land, reloading, another volley, land, reload…its just disgusting gameplay. All this while beeing immune to the top tier SPAA of Ger.

Also somehow inable to shot down jets around 20km… I don’t know when Iris gets anemic. Still testing. But it appears it won’t hit actively piloted aircraft above 12km or something.

Well you’re wrong so there’s that

I have found the AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel to not be a great radar in terms of tracking, nor are the guidance systems on the Aim 9x Block 2 or Aim 120 C7. The missiles are extremely easy to notch or counter compared to other SAM system say the IRIS-T or BUK-M3.

Instead of giving the US the NASAMS which isn’t even used in the United States or really produced domestically for the US, the PATRIOT system should’ve been given… or even supplement lower SPAA tiers with things like the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger. Gaijin could’ve found ways to balance out the Patriot if it was deemed too overpowered as well, similar to how they balanced out the IRIS-T by modifying some factors of the missile.

Kinda disappointed that US was yet again not allowed to be supplemented with modern equipment while updates continue to bring modern equipment to other countries.

Yeah it’s because it’s the first gen radar from 1995 serving as a detection system for missiles from 2000’s when there are plenty of newer radar systems that could have been added.

There are updates to the AN/MPQ-64 that would make the AA worth being in top tier. Remove the AIM-9x and it’s such a worse system.

You can confirm that it’s the first generation via the xray on the CLAWS and NASAMS

Op has a point. RUS and IT/FRA have systems which cover all the ground RB map sizes. Ru even a hypersonic mach 5 SAM @ their BUK launchers.

So Patriot needs to be ingame. Its just redicoulus how it currently is.

i think they will add patriot in the next update ? irrc BVVD also said that they were planning to add HARMs in the next update - we will probably see partriot/s300/400/350 depending on which missiles they add for the patriot ig.

Patriot can mix both PAC-2 and PAC-3

and even then it updates targets half as often as it should due to the incorrect rotation speed

In addition to the “second beam” that doesn’t exist that it shows on the radar screen but in sensor view it doesn’t even show.

72

also should be ESA so do the 0.1 second updates as long as the radar is pointed the right direction

and some sources say it should have a back panel too that updates target positions

73

The buk ingame is using bukm2 radar, so its 1988 not even near 2000s, which is also why the buk radar is useless and the TELARS are the only usable bit about it

74

Then you should bug that, the x-ray clearly shows it’s a “Viking” radar which is the Buk-M3’s radar.

75

Im pretty sure its all called viking, just how buk is always grizzly, but im not gonna bother with bug reporting just for a “not a bug”, or “not enough info”, trying to get things like j10c or t80bvm corrected is impossible atp

The NASAMS isnt cutting it. We need something Better and not nerfed by gaijin. Change my mind

Why HQ19? Ain’t that supposed to be for satellites and BMs? Sort of like a smaller Thadd. The only meaningful target might be the MiG25 even then 20km and 200km alt are very different.

Jokes aside HQ9 will do. Being a very similar to S300 vehicle will also prevent gaijin to nerf it too much in some ways.

I mean it will be cool if they one day added spacecrafts.
The Chinese SPAA systems from now on are pretty limited though, and half their predecessors are butchered so I have little hopes unless they get a fully Russian system anything will change.
