Possible, as Falcon is getting closer and closer to getting LRF, that will resault in BR bump for sure (guilty again ;P).
RiP British SPAA above 5.3
Was fun to have some at 8.3 while it lasted lol
Just remember the later gepard should have access to similar ammunition but gaijin has yet to give it to them, so regardless of how many sources you have they’ll always play the card of (Ammunition is a balancing factor) nothing is garenteed.
RIP British SPAA above 2.0
the Skink and Oerlikon SPAAs are effectively useless
only good ones until after 2.0 until 8.3 are the 2 Varks which are ZA

Yo, don’t you dare trashtalk the Skink and the Crusader AA Mk II, I love both of em
On the other hand, I really don’t like the Bosvark and Ystervark to be honest

I will trash talk them
the guns do so little damage and have pitiful velocity
how on earth is the AEC the same BR as the Wirbel, Crusader AA Mk.1 a Higher BR and the Skink 1.7 Higher?
i love em
the Ystervark is great SPAA being quite small and a extremely potent cannon for 4.0
and the Bosvark has the crew count and size to make strafing difficult, with absolutely mean firepower
as long as you’re aware and aim well enough to shoot down the enemy plane before they land a good hit in then you’re good

What- it’s the ZA truks that are useless.
The Skink is my best SPAA in the UK tree. I wouldn’t trade it for the trash that is the Bosvak at all.
The Skink and Crusader AA Mk II are at their BRs due to their armor.
I absolutely love having planes trying to strafe me only to have them crash into the ground right next to me because they suddenly developed holes in their planes.
About the AEC, I don’t know either…
can i have some retarded suicide strafers?
my enemies just shove a 1000lb bomb on my forehead without fail
or MK103/20mm their way through my armour
Odd- because I find CAS strafs it with ease. With its blind spot the size of the moon, mixed with the fact it has no ammo…
How are pieces of paper that high? (If the Skink isn’t 5.3 worthy, neither is the Bosvark.)
You can bait people into strafing the Skink and Crusader, and watch as they fall out of the skies. It’s how you play them. Yet far to many people give up before learning this.
I mean, if you get bombed, you get bombed, not much you can do about that.
About getting penned a lot, I feel like this has a lot to do with luck, but I found both of these SPAAs to be reasonably tanky against most gunfire from planes. Of course you’ll still evaporate if people bring the Mk103s with HVAP, but I still find the “tankiness” of the Skink and Crusader AA to be more valuable than the firepower of the imho rather clunky Varks.
Skink is garbage i agree, the rounds have the explosive damage of a party popper.

@Smin1080p_WT Sorry to bother you at this busy time, but I was wondering if the devs would need anything from the community to assist in this potential project or if its something that was considered/denied internally?
Outside of the off topic bits, I think its shown with the likes and commentary to be a relatively popular idea, especially for SAM systems which do not often get too much traction and could be a great asset for WT and also help soothe/throw a cookie at the people who have been uppity over Indian SAM systems of the last patches.
Just didnt want to leave it and not be seen or worse, it gets seen late and gaijin doesnt have time to work on the idea for this patch/needed something the community could offer.
Thanks for your time ^^.
Pun intended
Thanks to the recently added soviet copy pastes, Britain has clusterf… of AAAs at 10.0 - 10.3 and nothing within 8.7 - 9.7 range. If you had plans to add Tracked Rapier, you should resign from adding Osa/Strela.
And I’m not even started talking about huge gap between 5.3 and 8.3. Will you put ZSU-23/4 there?
TBF the other Indian SAM systems have their own values to the tree. OSA having a sod off size proxy missile is great for those who do not have good hand control/good internet connections and effectively bypasses the latter problem extremely well.
If you have never played games with 300-700 ping before, you really do not understand the aggro of that kind of thing.
Strela is neat to have though similar to the Stormer with Stingers.
Rapier is great for those who have good internet and good aim, its filler is small and has high speed meaning you have to be precise with it or risk the missile detonating too far away from the target.
They all have their own values to them for different people, not to forget ofc, more choices = good.
I guess what will have to be done, is a suggestion for a early Rapier will have to be made.
