Agree with the OG post but i also have a question, i dont have the dev server installed (it takes up double the space right??) but from videos it seem like the vehicle is really slow at accelerating? It really fast in reality, i have been transported multiple times with it and its amazing at accelerating, climbing fast and going across any terrain.
Well, if you’re playing from Australia, you can’t even accelerate with it lest you run the risk of it clipping and floating away into the aether.

I think the slow acceleration is just due to the trailer janking out and holding you back since it’s constantly sliding as you drive.
Can confirm. It’s very evident at 300ms connection.
swedish mains will complain about anything
Sweden: Gets given subpar kit that is either demonstrative of the issues of compression or reasonably should go down directly compared to the competition. (Alternatively, the entire gripen situation where the thing was accurate aside from energy retention and now the energy retention is still wrong but the agility is well below even the least credible sources because yanks complained)
Everyone who doesn’t play Sweden: How dare you complain about this thing that if it happened to us we’d burn down Gaijin’s headquarters

counterpoint, best missile in the game, smallest profile new aa (the sramraam doesnt count because its 3 vehicles)
It’s uh, it’s really not the best missile in game.
For that you would be looking at the Israeli abomination followed by the German IRIS-T slinger (which is a different missile to the Swedish IRIS-T in case the different designations didn’t give that away), and the American contraption.
Arguably also the pantsir. It is very substandard in range, the thing that matters at the BR it is at. It does not benefit from the fact multivehicle AAs can lose a secondary vehicle without being taken out, as it is the one system. It is, unfortunately, an incredibly poor addition. Which is why we got it over BAMSE. At present, Elde 98 cannot pose a reliable threat even to AGM 65 users, let alone anything more threatening.

still better than the 11.7 sams
Did you read the post?
3rd and 4th point
Can you at least explain why having 3 vehicles means it doesn’t count?
Nah, we complain about things that are legitimately wrong and/or broken :)
The vehicle itself is quite wrong at the moment (even completely broken for some players).
The missile i do not know enough about to have an opinion and the radar has been reported and accepted to some degree at least.

Because otherwise the argument is self defeating lol
You’ve a few chances to lose a launch platform before you’re knocked out, unlike the Elde.
Would point you to above screencap for that one.

for the 3rd point, you are the only new aa that gets smokes iirc and its way easier to hide/reposition 1 system instead of 2/3
for the 4th, current top spaa is perfectly fine lol
and ofc its the dev so everything thats broken will be fixed ig
7 nations are still waiting for counterparts to the Strv 122s, so top tier ground sweden can wait an update for counterparts for other vehicles.
Ideally, seeing as overall 12.0 CAS isn’t super powerful, the EldE 98 would stay at 12.0 while the Pantsir, SLM, Slamraam, Type 81 (ARH) and fixed CS/SA5 get moved to 12.3.

To be fair Sweden is by far the best minor nation and is basically years in front of some other ones.
It was like the best ground nation in the game for years.

Unless that’s confirmed its an entirely moot point. Having only 10km of range and it realistically only getting as far as 8km means you cant do anything with it when other systems are present. Additionally given the lack of range and missiles every other sam can deal with munitions launched on them, the EldE cant reload in time to stop an Su-34 that is focusing on it. As much as id like to agree with you here youve blatantly ignored basic game logic and the average scenario, depending on the map the EldE might be safe but as a jet I will always be able to rearm much safer than any SPAA and i will be able to constantly sling missiles far outside the EldE’s range and too mamy for it to counter within reload rate. Smokes only replenish on a cap point and ive abused CAS enough to know how SPAA players handle things. Maybe itll survive the first encounter but after that unless their team is winning good luck dodging all my KH-38MT’s again now that you’re low on everything.
You want my opinion? I don’t want the EldE, i think its a useless addition being added to give gaijin an excuse to ignore adding a useful spaa to sweden. Its an addition that could’ve been ignored in place of a few other options which fit more closely to the current list of SPAA. Im sure people will be like why would you rather want nothing, simple i dont want a 400k waste of space and RP on the TT unless it has some form of relevance. Id like a air tree thats on par with other nations, unfortunate sweden gets 3 of the 2nd best leopards and that means they cant have anything else. Idc about the leos, if we didn’t have them i couldn’t care less, im a light tank enjoyer. The EldE is simply a waste of space and time imo for an SPAA thats equivalent to bringing a Stinger to 12.0 in terms of range
