That was not mentioned anywhere. Simply these additonal PARS pods were developed for the UHT after the HAC was already rejected and no longer being trailed. They were exclusive to the UHT.
There is no evidence the HAC is compatible, since these were additonal pylons added on after that require additonal wiring and modification. The HAC was already rejected from French use by this time.
The thing is that people get killed in the BUK because the AA system tubes are so tall, but that’s a positioning problem, which leads to deaths, so of course players who don’t put themselves in a spot to retaliate to CAS are going to be seen easier, coupled with map design (cover rocks, buildings) it has nothing to do with the SPAA being bad, but I’m not sure if they put that into their thinking when seeing the stats. The claws has to swing around too just like the BUK, and can’t fire in certain spots like taller missile systems can. IRIST has not problem firing, and is just as tall as the BUK. It seems like a wash as far as problems go. Doesn’t mean a new and better one is needed to an already stacked SPAA lineup
Hi @Smin1080p_WT , would it be possible to do something about this bug report? It makes IRST displays completely unusable and it’s been around for quite a while now.
In terms of size it’s pretty okay for a march update, it just doesn’t have a sort of flagship vehicle or a main focus powerful enough to hype it.
Rank IX is mostly just existing vehicles moving up, F-16C and J-15T are incredibly meh (no matter how hard they try to hype this new F-16), low tier Hungary air is also nice but not super hype and for Ground it’s just mostly a bunch of wheeled vehicles, some arties and a new pantsir.
None of these vehicles are objectively bad additions, but they are also not “oh my god they are finally releasing X vehicle, i legit can’t wait for the update” level hype for the masses.
Visual changes (at least, where ‘new’ stuff needs to be made) take the longest to implement, so I wouldn’t really expect them this update especially with the mountain of other stuff that needs fixing/implementing.
(Though it would be nice)
If anything, “struggle” with it for now until an update comes for that later on. 🤷♀️
