The CS/SA5's capabilities are not suited for BR 12.0

My friend, the CS/SA5 is one of China’s most advanced mobile air defense systems. It deserves to be implemented correctly to deliver its intended, potent combat performance – at the very least not inferior to the Pantsir-S1. We players shouldn’t be forced to compromise, settling for a mere visual approximation, a “flavor” CS/SA5, only for it to later be downtiered. This was the case with the VT5, and now with the CS/SA5 – Gaijin consistently applies different standards to Chinese vehicles. Furthermore, China’s strict confidentiality policies unfortunately provide them ample leeway for their so-called “reasonable speculation.”

@Stona_WT Sir we need a proper official responed to this issue, if Gaijin needs to collect more data in live server, we still have rights to know what and how Gaijin are investigating.

I’m actually happy with it’s performance outside of not being able to lock helis and drones, despite the small warhead and low g load it still manages to kill anything it can lock and the gun with ahead can shoot down almost any incoming munitions.

40%winrate and a 0.8kd is not good

To be fair it dies to tanks not the planes

don’t settle with the current fb-10a.

both the guidance and flight performance are incorrect, still missing apds/apfsds, radar acts nothing like an aesa.

bvvd said it would be on par with pantsir now let’s hold him to his word

Well if they said it will be on par with pantsir it’s currently a joke right now. 😂 No way near pantsir

agreed, its why we need to keep complaining.

bvvd needs to see the wrong he’s done to china mains and fix all his wrong doings to the tree itself

In my opinion, the questions about the middle system are almost all denied and cover your mouth

Gaijin is literally not giving enough attention to this issue and Chinese equipment in general

Sounds like the Chinese tree is getting the Israel treatment lol, you better believe that any Russian vehicle will over perform on release even exceeding real world capabilities.

The CS/SA5 currently uses full caliber AP rounds that don’t actually exist. Even if they existed they would probably have better penetration than they currently do in-game. Its basically the same as 25mm AP rounds.
