What even the main difference between this and the Pansir S1?
I genuinely have no idea, hence my question what could we realistically expect for the other nations. Currently I either use the top tier, the one I have basically IRIS-T or in case of the US, nothing since I havent oppened it yet but even if I did LAV-AD is pretty much the next best thing after the top tier one which is sad honestly
oh yes, “the best SAMs in the game” that are useless against one of the most common russian CAS platforms

BTR? Are you talking about the btr3 the same btr3 that is in Japanese techtry?
and the problematic helicopter radar-return… but i think if those things are fixed it will make the helicopters unusable

And you’re ignoring the only reason they are not the best is because of the stupid mechanic that shouldn’t work on them ok
Well Helis are useless irl as soon as theres stronger AA than a flip flop and an AK

I don’t think it will make choppers than usable but it will definitely reduce the their effectiveness a lot

And Germany has its own Pantsir-like missile that’s actually faster and deadlier than this, but of course Russia needed another hypersonic SAM because their WR dropped by 0.1%.

No of course no, I’m talking about the 2 bushmaster IFVs they gave NATO to “balance” the current russian bias in the game.
LMAO so what you are saying is that they are still the best because you want to ignore the fact that they are currently useless against a large set of common targets
and guess what nation already has by far the best AA to defend against these targets, oh yeah the one that is now getting an even more insane version, and has the best LDIRCM helicopter
Both true, but in the WT or any game, they need to be viable… if not for balance, well Gaijin will want people to spend money to grind them
really?
you know IRL the AH64E would be able to launch a JAGM at anything from RWR pings right?
literally just pop up and launch missiles at everything with a radar before ducking down before it can be engaged
They’re useless because they’re shit. American SPAA are worse than damn BUK. The only usable multi vehicle SPAAs are French, Italian and after recent unnerf - German.
Pantsir was usable this entire time, against everything besides highly agile targets, but surely untouchable by any munition it faced.
French and Italian work only against targets that aren’t multipathing, which there aren’t many.
German is good, but buggy as hell. And even their missile is artificially slowed down.

Yeah this is like the first time Pantsir was introduced.
Russia, once again has:
-The trio of the best SAMs in the game (Pantsir, BUK, Panstir SM)
-Best CAS in the game (Mi-28NM, Su-30SM2)
-Best MBTs, broken BMPT and IFVs
They literally cannot go an update without receiving a handout that makes them dominate. It’s unreal how biased the game is. NATO on the other hand gets two useless wheeled IFVs. What’s even the point of playing anything else.

Hypersonic missiles with 40km range.(1300m/s vs 1700m/s)
Better radar
Better chassis
Ability to replace a single missile tube by 4 smaller missiles to intercept drone and ammunition. So you could get 6 hypersonic missiles with 24 smaller missiles for pretty much infinite ammo during match with your ammo box.

I wouldnt say they have the best MBTs, but they do have by far the best CAS lineup and the best SAMs
China?
ok all jokes aside… let’s be real all of the SACLOS spaa’s can handle the LDIRCM helicopter. I’m an average player and if I can take them down with things like ADATS and FlaRakRad, so can others…

they really cant if the helo knows how to play
because if the helo is playing well it either wont be out of cover long enough for a missile to hit, or will just overwhelm the AA and get kill it in a single pop up
and guess which current SACLOS AA is by far the best against both of these through having the fastest missiles and being able to intercept multiple targets at once
If a skill issue is severe enough the gun you’re shooting always points at you.
