PGZ09 in ~9.0 Cold War bracket, and more about CAS&Heli

Like, IRST, Stealth, AHEAD vs CAS topped with Alphas? These planes, going sub-sonic and relying on conventional bombs and rockets won’t survive a attack even with RB controls and no visual block.

But Heli can stay far away and missile ground, with a lot higher chance surviving from a usual Gepard…

I’m not really sure but… 37-2 and shilka should be inaccurate enough for CAS of the type but too weak for Helis, so is there something between planes and helis that makes an imbalanced result in the need of SPAA?
Maybe also the stinger and old Strela thing, locks and kill planes, doesn’t do well to helis

Helicopters were honestly a mistake. Most of them should move up along with the SPAA at their BRs.

Planes easily counter ANY 9_2 helicopters which are quite defenceless against them… good luck shooting a plane down with a 7.62.

Missiles are 3.75km max and the PGZ and M247 are very good at killing helicopters. Russia also gets the Shturm. The VEAK is sadly missed.

9_2 is balanced for CAS.

Give me WZ305 over the PGZ09 any day of the week… and Sunday.
