Oooo. ADATS has been nerfed multiple times. Now it’s a pathetic parody of what it was at release. It could lock on targets from the third person, its missiles were very fast. Now ADATS is the worst top SAM, and it was given one BR higher.
Hidden Changes (March 2025)
Removal of Neutral Turn Function: Some players have noticed that ADATS has lost the ability to turn on the spot, reducing its maneuverability. This change was not listed in the official changelogs and may be a bug.
Decreased Launch Range
ADATS missiles now lose speed faster at longer ranges, significantly reducing their effective range against air targets.
Decreased Maneuverability
The maneuverability of the MIM-146 missiles has been reduced. Now the missiles are worse at catching maneuvering targets, especially at medium and long ranges.
Missile Slowdown
Players have noted that the missiles accelerate more slowly and lose energy faster in flight, making them less effective against high-speed targets (such as fighters in afterburner).
More Misses Against Air Targets
Due to the weakened controllability and speed, missiles are more likely to miss their targets, especially if they are actively maneuvering.
Missile Invisibility (Smokeless Trail)
While this is a realistic change, it hinders the operator himself - it is difficult to visually adjust the missile after launch.
It was a jointly developed system by Germany and France however the US was involved in the manufacturing of these systems so I don’t really see what the issue is.
Better missiles? It trades 70mm pen for speed.
Tows are 50 m/s faster, and you can fire two without reloading, not to mention the insta reload bug the Bradly’s ATGMs have had for years.
Bmp-2 has better mobility yes.
Larger silhouette? Taller the Bradley is, but the bmp is longer.
Survivability is definitely better in the Bradley there guy.
And the bmp 2 is a higher br while pretty much being equal to the Bradley
Great, but ADATS is completely useless against top aircraft. Its missiles don’t fly, I can hardly shoot down a UAV with it, you can’t even imagine what a humiliation it is to play it against KH-38MT, you hide like a boy behind rocks so as not to be killed and in the hope that the Su-30 or Su-34 will simply forget and fly closer. ADATS is an absolutely useless SAM, that’s why it hasn’t been in the game for a long time, no one takes it, but for the Soviets there are 3 Pantsir S1 at the spawn, which successfully intercept all missiles and bombs.
I have never been able to have my pansir intercept any munitions purposely.
Very rarely have I seen others do so.
The Adats can kill drones…? And is more likely to kill a plane that is within range more so than a pansir, due to max g overload.
If you cannot see your munition, turn the thermal on.
Also the Su-30/34 are mentioned why? Plenty of CAS can out range all spaa
Oh my God, stop it already. It seems like we are playing different games. Just look at the killchat during the game. The pantir intercepts both mavericks and GBU-39s and Walleye bombs. I fired 6 mavericks at the pantir and it intercepted them all. If you play so badly that you can’t even intercept the slowest missiles that fly at you for a minute or more even with the pantir, then you clearly have a skill issue.
Didn’t you say that you play on console in a different thread? I would assume that it’s much more difficult to do a lot of things.
Pantsir intercepting agms is commonplace and there’s a lot of videos that back it up.
There’s bug where it doesn’t show on thermals and it completely disappears after some 4-5km (I think)
They are the most common in game and the deadliest of all CAS aircraft. Lets not pretend that it isn’t. The ADATS suck in general when it comes to defending against agms but most of them, you can hide behind cover. It’s difficult to do that when a agm is going mach jesus
Because it’s the only top tier spaa for america??? It’s better to have it than not.
You gotta invest your time in other nations. It really shows with the stuff you say. And no, just because you have event/prem vehicles doesn’t mean you get the full experience.
