I would love to see how you “tested” them because the he round is literally the same as in the pgz…
They are pretty much the best ir manpads alongside the stingers k… best g limits alongside the largest proximity fuze and largest warhead.
Just dont use them at 6km…
tested in a private match against a heli which is hovering still, sidam doesnt give a indicator until its closer than 2.5km for example. you can use the apds whilst on an ammobox to get better performance.
statcard warrior strikes again… go use them yourself or fight against them, you will quickly realize how sad they are.
they are bad at any range compared to the alternatives.
Buddy i have both the mistral sidam and the santal… the missile is much better., just having proximity fuze makes them better than those two l…
Having used the Sidam mistral, zsu-23-m4, lav ad, etc
The iglas and mistrals are by far the worst.
The Fim-92s are busted as can be, they literally don’t miss helicotpers
iglas/hn6 seem to hit the most reliably against manuvering aircraft for me, but not being able to lead them over buildings/mountains is definedly a negative.
No way, it’s definitely the Fim-92, leagues above the rest
Think so ? the mirage F1 C 200 is a pretty great platform before the magic 2s are involved.
Don’t get mixed up with how it used to be, it was an absolute slab before, its pretty damn reliable now which is good.
Mode: Air Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-14B
BR Change: 13.0 → 12.7
Reasoning:
it has worse radar and missiles than any other 13.0 plane.
2x Magic I (So aim-9G level rear aspect IRs)
2x of the weakest SARH missiles of that BR
no true PD radar
a fairly poor RWR
Its got some weaknesses.
Id also call it an average FM, not great, but not weak either. Its biggest strength is the decent CM load, that carries it far more than I think most realise and why Id be hesitant below 11.0.
When compared with aircraft such as the F-4E and maybe a few like the Jaguars and F-5s. I think 11.0, maybe 11.3 would be the msot appropirate for it without the Magic IIs.
if it had half decent SARH missiles, then I could see it being higher, but its definetly not on par with a Mig-23ML/MLD without the IRCCM missiles and the non-PD R-530s
Vehicle: Mig-21 SPS-K
Air realistic battles
9.7->10.0
It’s nearly a harrier in terms of missile potency which is already strong but it’s supersonic which solves the harrier’s weakness/limitation. Sure you lose the gun to equip the missile flare loadout but it’s too good in downtiers just running around the map r60-ing you and it has flares if it gets caught off guard by an r60 or aim9g.
Do you relize that the 23mm round despawns at 2400m while the pgz does at 3000m? so yeah your testing method is questionable at best, not sure how you got over a kilomiter of extra range on those 2 while on the sidam you got 200 meters more…
i got a lead indicator and destroyed the heli, dont know more than that.
I usually dont even fire shilka outside of 1.5km unless i want to scare them off lol
I mean i dont usually fire much at much longer with any spaag, aside from the few ones without tracer
use ap belts, they reach further too. the game calculates the lead & stuff based on the first round in the belt.
it was not 3.5km, but 3km, i remembered incorrectly.
Buddy, they dont have a 3km range either
heres sidam for comparison
man i wish the pgz04 reached 4km lmao
