6km lock range, IRCCM, 16.5Gs.
3.2km lock range in IRCCM mode, 5km launch range in photo-contrast mode.
Chaparrel’s still a bit better.
Of course 10.3 GBUs out-range both.
@Shadow_Monarch
Mig-29 out-ranges TAN-SAM.
I ain’t saying Strela shouldn’t increase in BR, all I’m saying is photocontrast doesn’t increase its range beyond NIM-72G.
xDDDDD strela at 10.0?
IMP. Champ can be 10.0
if they give 20-22G to stinger u say ozelot at 10.3? xD it should be 10.7
Maybe strela-10m4 with thermal imaging and 9M333 missile can be 10.0
xDDDDD strela at 10.0?
First this.
IMP. Champ can be 10.0
Then this, the irony is lost on you. Imp. Chap and Strela, for all intents and purposes, are identical… well, apart from Strela having better missiles and electro-optical guidance, meaning it can engage stuff out further… but hey, a better vehicle just has to be at a lower BR, innit?
Maybe strela-10m4 with thermal imaging and 9M333 missile can be 10.0
How about you play something other than Russia for once?
I have played my Chap with 72G along with a friend in his strela. He could get a lock before I could on a jet, get a lock more consistent to fire again, fire earlier, missile tracked the jet better through flares and got the kill.
And this isn’t even against helis which is about 2.5-3 km before you can lock them in the chap.
Sounds like a you problem to me. However from now on you should refrain from giving your opinions on vehicles in other TTs and how they compare to Russia’s, you’ve got no practical experience and rely solely on theoretical knowledge, most likely parroting what somebody else said before.
You are somehow delusional
Pot calling kettle black fallacy be like.
72G is worse than photocontrast sure, but that’s at 9.3 not 10.3.
Strela might end up going 9.7 - 10.0 but I doubt 10.3.
I would be fine if they just moved the Strela to 9.7 and the Chaparral to 10.0. Both would be more appropriately placed at those BRs and it would allow for somewhat of a lineup to be created for the Chap.
God these things are a nightmare to fight at 8.3
All the false flagging.
completely agree with the Israeli Chaparall going down in BR to 9.7, 10.3 is just a joke.
unfortunately normal in this forum if you disagree with somebody.
I don’t think there are any planes with countermeasures at 8.3 (not that that even matters at the strella missile just ignores them).
strela its perfect after the “photocontrast lock option” dont need buff or nerf or any br change. its perfect atm.
A severe lack of self awareness.
Then the NATO counterparts need to have their br reduced as they severely underperform in comparison
nope. too long time dominate the brainless nato spaas
Which ones exactly, because they all have the same play style the only difference is that the USSR equivalent are either lower in BR or objectively better in some or several aspects.
sure because you only see 8.3 jets with the strela… btw flares do work agaisnt it
Actually EO modes got changed from dev to live. EO lock range on the strela went up from 5km → 6km (well, 5950m). EO lock ranges on the Type 93 and Tan SAM went from 8km → 7km. So in terms of lock ranges, it’s similar now. Not to mention it works against even low IR signature targets. It might only do maybe worse against scout drones, but idk those emit like very little IR as well. Usually the smaller things emit less IR, but not necessarily vice versa.
Strela stats now:
And how would you know when you have only played Japan?
Better off not talking about balance when you have never even touched the nations you are talking about.
Strela-10M2 must definitely go higher. How high is questionable. It is very deadly up to 5km but has relatively limited capabilities in bad weather and there is no system for effective searching of targets. On BR 9.7? Definitely. On BR 10.0? Maybe with passive detection.
