It’s worse than both the SPAA’s proceeding it in the tech tree and much older why should it come after, in any world that makes sense?
The only amendment would be giving it faster velocity ammo by a great margin.

Pity it isn’t modelled in game then. I wish they were more leaning towards authenticity instead of how to edge case little handicaps in everywhere they can.

uhhh- the Skink? has a radar? This is the first time I’ve heard of this, and I’ve done the suggestions for the other two Skinks, plus spaded the UK one.
edit: I’ve been informed your comment is based on a different crazy claim made by them.

Yeah, Pangolin has made a lot of crazy claims. Sparrows are better than AIM 120s, PD radars are OP, Viggen is OP because PD radar, and just now with the Skink needing to be 6.3

Don’t mind Rhodesian.
I just showed you the Bosvark does better than it.

No, you showed me players are better at using the Bosvark, which is fully to be expected.
I don’t think you were expecting that, but fine.
I didn’t see anyone complaining about the Skink even after it was added to America, ’ if we exclude c&p problem, which is invalid when discussing vehicle capability’
Also, as Jarms said, I also saw no complaint about Crusader AA Mk.2, which also has an enclosed turret.
Maybe because Skink was awful, in fact? Imagine Pantsir and such, if Skink is not balanced, then there would be
So, if players are better at using Bosvark when compared to Skink in the same BR
And we Brits also have dedicated 20mm SPAA such as Crusader AA Mk.2 or AEC AA, so it seems your ‘high muzzle velocities’ cannot be a problem unless you are forced to spade every vehicle. Because we also used SPAA with 20mm cannons, which played before.
Also, generally, minor nations have better stats compared to major nations due to a smaller sample.
But Skink doesn’t have a drastic stat difference, unlike other counterparts such as F-5A/C do.
So, if Skink is better SPAA than Bosvark, and needs to be 6.3BR, then how in the world does Skink have significantly worse stats than Bosvark?
If we look at the stat, and you really want to send one of two 5.3BR SPAA into 6.3, according to stat, weren’t Bosvak fits more to 6.3BR than Skink does, wrong?
I am doubly sure that you are overvaluing enclosed SPAA as much as Gaijin do.
Lastly, sending Skink up to 6.3BR cannot be a solution for filling the SPAA gap on 6.3BR.
Because we still can put skink when we build the deck for 6.3BR even without sending skink higher.
Sir, you have changed nothing since those days when you said JGSDF M16 SPAA should be removed because it has no use (when it really has use)

That’s the same thing. Man the lawyers in these comments are crazy sometimes.

Nope, vehicle performance and player performance are not the same. Infact, according to the stats you provided, the U.S and UK skinks are different vehicles which belong at different BRs.
Why would you split their performance between nations when it is an average of both nations to get the true over-all performance? More lawyering.
No. They go back because all of those machines are better SPAA or the statistics would say otherwise. It’s very simple. That’s why no one has respect for the balance makers in this game. For 4 years it’s been beyond a joke.

Mate are you for real? ( what am I talking about of course you are) Sure the guns are good but it’s a fucking open top truck that dies to a gust of wind. Why do you think it’s 5.7?
And you are seriously arguing it’s good enough to cover the gap from 5.7 all the way to 8.7?? All my lineups higher than 6.3 (7.0, 7.7, 8.0, 8.3) for France have no SPAA because it’s just free food for planes pretty much.
But japan does have SPAA. We just need to give everyone one of these:
)))))
Well they have different stats, and stats are totally a great way to determine vehicle performs in all cases /s
Easier to use =/= better.
. . . you mean like basically every other SPAA at that BR?
Bear in mind, most 7.3s have worse A2G loadouts than the planes the TPK faces rn.
However unlike any SPAA higher than 6.3 which is where you are suggesting we use it. Believe me I tried to use it and it’s not adequate against jets.

Tbh, I do not believe any input you have on SPAA since you seem to think they all suck.
Don’t shove your word into his mouth, pal.

Believe what you will but I never claimed SPAA suck. They are just not as effective as you claim them to be. And the TPK is actually goated at its own BR. The issue here is you are advocating people use it in their 7.0 and above lineups. Then it just becomes bad. It’s like using the flakpanzer 1 at 5.0 or something. Sure you might get a kill but it’s gonna suck and not be competitive at all
