right
and how about the fact that
israel has 2 high tier spaas
japan has 3
and russia has 7 now?
they really needed that filler for the 12.7 to 12.7 gap?

Some nations naturally have more variants and options than others. Not all are equal in terms of the number of choices IRL. But this was not added “instead of” an SPAA for another nation.
Stats we can’t see and just have to trust you on? One of the only SPAA systems that can operate without the base radar unit (giving it higher survivability too) and it performs worse than those that can’t?

But not adding it could also count as balance across the nations is also an option. Or giving the nations that lack that amount of variety the tools and weapons they made to counter AA defenses is also an option. Like HARMs are wildly late to the game now.

This doesn’t improve anything for anyone.
This does not solve a problem of an existing SPAA not performing, but actually makes it even worse.

clearly not “instead of.” since israel (with the most butchered top tier spaa ingame) got a replacement.
so we fix bug reports? add a working top tier spaa?
no, we add another spaa to russia.
so does it mean we should add them all?
there are countless suggestions for top tier spaas for israel and japan.
the point of the tech trees is to add vehicles based on need. not availability.
just because you can doesnt mean you should.

IIRC it wasn’t ready as they said on the Dev Stream

I guess Gaijin could start publishing the data that supports the implementation (and have the EN dev stream folks cover it too) because that seems incredibly counter to the experience. The BUK feels like a menace. Especially it when is protected by KH-38 slingers and invincible BMPTs that are still under BR’ed.

Communication with its player base on these things that hugely affect gameplay would be nice. The only reason people die with the BUK is because it’s too tall with its missile station, or bad gameplay, I’ve been shot many times by it with little to no warning
Ok so can we expect mica vl to be added then ? if BUK suffer, then SAMP/T is dying in a corner.
Its still the most underperforming spaa compared to what it should be, from g pull (that devs said they would eventually model but is still not there with PIF PAF not modelled), time to target and range…
Well Spyder is finally getting Derby ER, we just have to wait until we see it’s final stats to know it’s performance.
Win rates and vehicle efficiency should be public information on every vehicle stat card. And should update on the same tic-rate as squadron RP. That information needs to be available to players because additions like this seem wild and counter to the player experience. Like there’s no way the BUK is so bad Russia needs another BETTER Pantsir.

when tested in dev server, both as an ai and as player used,
stingers are better than the derby er.
And Smin has also already confirmed that Derby ER is still WIP, even in this very thread iirc.
There absolutely is no way but russia is sub 50% winrate in top tier so Gaijin has to do something
SAMP/T is not underperforming statistically compared to Buk or its peers. As such, new munitions are not planned for this major for it.

According to statsharks sl/game figure, the BUK is the worst performing top tier SPAA, which I believe is the most similar to the metric gaijin uses to balance as far as I know.
Granted it’s not by much compared to others, but it still technically is.
alright great.
now hopes up for the radar
and the python 5
and the scanning
What does a sub-50% mean? The Abrams had a sub-50% win rate for years and all it got was nerf after nerf. No DU armor, no M829A3, turret basket (of which there has been zero update on other vehicles getting them if I am remembering correctly). Not to deviate the topic but having a sub-50% win rate should mean nothing or better reflect improvements for everyone when it happens.
