Thats just unacceptable, give russia another top tier SPAA immediately

Don’t get me wrong i dislike playing the buk as much as everyone thats not a hardcore spaa fanatic and willing to invest days of training to make that thing work. Apparently theres workarounds for the radar vehicle being just horrible by strictly playing the launchers only, in the end i feel like its still way better than the absolutely useless type 03 which is just a gimmick with its slow af accelerating missiles lofting over mountain ranges. If only for being able to still use the launchers on the buk when you finally get redeemed from your distraction vehicle. Might be way more annoying on claustrophobic cramped ww2 style city maps but on open maps its just way better in time to target (and thus intercepting ordinance)
Also doesnt exactly help that on average you will have to intercept much quicker russian ordinance than a buk or pantsir which except vs the malay su30 has way more time to react to incoming stuff. (not the buks strong point, reaction time, but still)
As it was written “Conveniently”
“go play russian tanks bro… and see how bad they were” every single time someone bring up the elephant in the room just like Jeffy files lol

Russia suffers at top tier, they should nerf Spikes/MMPs as well.
Me bringing OSA, strellar, stormer AD/HVM, ADATS after my sky sabre got blown up twice
Those low tier AA can only look the toptier CAS from afar because “out of range” “phase through”
CAS goes multipath then zuni or gun down low tier AA like NPC mobs

“NATO is better than Russia bro, stop coping”
Most of these are very good or at least usable vs helis so yeah they can be very useful while possible still support through scouting. Playing japan what you get to deal with helis is…nothing. Cant pressure them, cant reliably intercept ordinance, just wait in spawn screen and pray that one of your allies from other nations isnt completely unaware.

I know that, but using launchers radar limits your visibility really hard against air threats, it is true that you get it on ARH’s own range lot better, since it doesnt have 4s scan time.
But claws or nasam either is a lot more reliable , and better compared to buk, and lot of people say claw is one of worst.
And that intercepting using launchers radar is quite amusing, when your screen is filled with green squares or what ever colour you have binded there. And when using on it, you only have that 6 missiles, since when you control launcher it wont shoot em from another launcher. So yeah pantsir works a lot better on it also.
Only scenario where BUK is better if enemy cas sticks over 15km away from battlefield, and wont use ground as cover. Those times are not so often ( Like nearly never)

Well, there is type 81 and optical lock.
yeah…let me sit around and stare at him waiting for him to climb into orbit. Its your only chance youre right, but if hes not climbing theres literally nothing you can do. and even if he is climbing as long as hes not too close hes still got loads of time to drive the missile into the ground. all while youre most likely already targeted by a jet from long range.
if hes just sitting somewhat low all you can do is switch to radar missiles (which takes forever) try to get some of his ordinance or just watch him murder your whole team while youre in spaa and cant do anything about it.
i like how everyone here is ignoring that one guy.
gotta love it.

ADATS is a sufficient backup to Sky Sabre, and is definitely worth bringing into your top tier lineup, but the rest of those? Why on EARTH would you need more than 4 SPAA spawns (ADATS + SkySabre + Backups)? This is just ridiculous.

I really think some deeply believe that
Russia will get 6 backups wtf
There is no game in which you need to spawn AA 4 times, let alone more than that.
If you would really hate cas you’d spawn spaa until all the mosquitoes r DED.
So you can EASILY kill 6 people in 6 backup AAs with Abrams wtf… thats the worst thing to happen to RU, how cant you realize that ffs…EVERY ONE in RU will be rolling around in the SPAA after the first or at most 2nd death…easy win!
If I die to CAS 4x in SPAA i’m OUT of that game.
