What is the range of the Adats missile ? 10 km effective range > 8 km
What is the range of the ITO missile ? 12 km effective range > 10 km
what is the range of the TOR missile ? 12 km effective range > 10 km (Don’t know but roughly in ball park)
What is the range of the Pantsnir ? 16 km effective range > 12 km
This analyzes is taken on a flat map with some but not a lot of cover on it. (think EL alamein, Fire arc, Arctic) With mavericks.
Its funny that aircraft out range the Adats 100 percent of the time.
ITO has to be hella quick on the draw or get sniped by aircraft.
TOR are in a better position then the ITO but by a low margine
Pantsnir can both shoot incoming missiles and return fire to some degree. (plus they can snipe helis with a lockless missile. But there is a missile warning.)
Conclusion: If you have Russia on your team you are guaranteed to control the sky (they force people to hit the deck but it is possible to dodge the 95Ya6 by maneuvering correctly)
So an airforce that stays outside ten kilometers (with Russia on the team) will be guaranteed safety and can simply bomb the spaa among other targets ending in a spawn camp.
And the pantsir isn’t magical it cant hit maunvering mach 1 targets outside 12 km. It might save itself from the first maveric but might come up short if there is a second one.
It also happens because now you can reach top tier by grabbing a 70€ premium and just be useless there lol
(Cuz lets be honest they’re fodder because they’re also usually newer players, not to say I oppose it tho )))))))))
That’s so duality based that it’s actually stupid…
We’re here playing a game, and you’re getting all cut up on peopel playing it in a different manner to you, so much so that out of spite you advocate and condone people cheating people out of kills, just because you dislike CAS.
You cant lock things at more than 7km, usually, with the A-10 bc the game refuses to do so and since you are NOT in a heli you are forced to get closer while you lock a target and shot your AGM, you didnt got shot down bc they were blind.
Anyways, if i see an AGM flying my way and i cant get into cover in time i will probably J out too, im already dead so this way, at least, i can prevent you from gaining SPs and contribute more to the match than getting killed right away.
I have also seen people J out when they notice my Pars flying towards them (fire and forget helis are quite op since they fixed the missiles lock, you can also send Ka52s back to the hangar without them noticing) and i dont blame them, that AA is about to be dead and i have taken cover long ago, they had no chance to fight back.
