And even as a USSR main, I don’t think those heli nerfs were bad. The recent ones with avionics are terrible ngl, but for the sake of balance and realism the nerfs before hand were good.
The Flak definitely stood king a bit longer than that.
Would love to see expanded A2G/Wild Weasel armament and ARM missiles. But at the same time we need more AD options before that’s really a thing. Currently Russia has a capable high level AD system. Every nation should have a long range AD system that isn’t out ranged by helicopters or fighter.
The number of times I’ve seen the pantsir completely eviscerate light tanks and knock out barrels tracks and sights on mbts is the proof i need to know it can.
And btw the VT-1 is no where near as effective in Overpressure as you paint it to be.
It barely does the job agains composite and not to mention era roofed russian tanks.
How exactly? ItO-90M is honest to God outright better, with wider radar search angles, longer radar detection range (iirc), has more ready-to-fire missiles & is more mobile last I checked. The moment it was added, FlaRak’s reign ended.
killing pantsir is not that hard, a low number of its players know how to use it smartly, but you have to fly low and surprise it from different directions, moving plane spawn point to 20km is a good choice for battles over 12.0 battle rate. so you can be saved from spawn kill lol
some people want to fly in medium alt, wihtout any threat to them and fire their missiles to tanks in peace lol in real world its almost impossible with enemy spaa presence. fly very low, use rockets and bombs, also carrying a few agm missiles are good too, my weapon preset for su-22m4:
two kh29t, 5 medium rockets (in one rocket launcher), three bombs. i fly low to enemy and when its a pantsir, i use those rockets so if he kill me at least i kill him too, if pantsir is engaging a target, its easy for you to kill them, use surprisable directions to kill them easier lol
increasing alt is a stupid thing in high battle rate matches, i see many su-22m3 users drop bombs then climb up, then guess what happen to them, boom! lol if you flying low, keep flying low even after killing enemy
