Because it’s terrible and they already have the Pantsir and Tunguska, as well as the Strela nearby and more recently the Osa. No doubt they’ll get it; there’s just no priority to add it so they’ll hold it as content for another patch sometime and a “unique” vehicle for the Chinese tech tree in the meantime.
Maybe the Tor-M2, the Tor-M1 is far inferior in missile behaviour than the 2S6 Tunguska, and USSR has plently of SPAA vehicle, the best for now is more light tanks.
To be fair, it should go to both. Just as the F16s ended up spread amongst a host of users.
It doesn’t seem all that flash, but it seems like fun, so I’d rather it be in the Ruski tree than the Chinese tree, as I’ve no interest in Chinese kit to get a Russian piece of kit. More ways to smite my fellow CAS players is always nice.
The question OP its doing its why there is no Tor on Russia TT. Your whole analogy its terrible. Everyone know that China use it. But its also in active service on Russia. There is no reason for it not to be in the Russia TT. Russia already having a good AA system its also a terrible take. Its up to player what they want to use.
Why USA got F-15 if they already have F-16C?. The latest its already good enough right?.. At that level its your analogy.
Depends how you see it. But I disagree that the 2S6 should be the same BR as ADATS.
2S6
Pros
tracking radar
can identify and intercept agms/bombs
can deal with short range threats
smokeless motor
irst
Cons
mediocre missile
inconsistent at medium ranges
inconsistent at longer ranges
TOR
This is where I completely disagree with you. The TOR-M1 is by far the easiest spaa to counter. You can put this vehicle at 4.0 and it’ll still suck
The HQ17 is a different story, it’s quite deadly.
Pros
slightly longer range missile
tracking radar
can identify and intercept agms/bombs
TV (it’s worse than IRST but I’m not sure by how much)
Cons
mediocre missle
produces a lot of smoke
cannot deal with short range targets
inconsistent at medium ranges
inconsistent at longer ranges
The smokey motor is what really kills it. You can spot miles away and react accordingly to the missile’s trajectory to miss it
ADATS
Pros
Really good missiles
Smokeless motor
Can deal with short range targets
Can deal with medium range targets
IRST
Cons
No tracking radar
Cannot identify (slave sight) and intercept agms/bombs - you have to actively know where missile is in order to intercept it.
Inconsistent at longer ranges
What holds the ADATS back is it’s lack of TWS functionality. If it had it, it could very well stand toe to toe with the VT1 slingers.
The TOR-M1 should either be the same BR as the 2S6 or lower
The HQ17 should be .3 higher than the 2S6
The ADATS should be .3 higher than the 2S6 with how it’s currently implemented. If it gets it’s TWS functionality, it should be the same BR as the VT1 slingers
Yes, let’s give Russia TWO top tier SPAAs ON TOP OF the three SPAAs in Rank VII (that are not foldered), on top of all the other copy-paste ZSUs that are not foldered, on top of the BTs that are copy pasted and not foldered, on top of the GAZ that are copy pasted and not foldered.
Short answer? Because Russian TT have no need for 11.0 SAM while Tunguska 2S6, being lower in BR, can perform on part if not outright better (especially with those <1km and/or low altitude targets) while on higher we have “The mighty and powerful” Panstir-S1
But… personally? Wouldn’t mind having Tor in Soviet TT, provided it folded with Tunguska (as a side-grade, Tor’s missiles are a bit greater in ranger after all and can intercept drones as they spawn) and/or with upgrade package of Tor-M2
