You’re asking me? Blame the other countries for not getting on the level of the Pantsir despite having captured 1 and not caring enough to devolop anything remotely similar.
And if that was such a concern, CAS would’ve been held back where the Pantsir wouldn’t of been a neccssary addition.
“Far better” isn’t neccessarily true. The Pantsirs mission is to defend the SAMS and they are quite effective at doing just that, a lot of countries have invested into the system so I wouldn’t put it off in that regard.
And by VSHORAD capable you’re saying it includes a gun and the missles react fast enough to intercept large saturation attacks.
You mean gaijin for not adding da gun truk to the multi vehicle loadouts?
The tech is there, gaijin didn’t add it. Just like they didn’t add good radar systems.
So if they have “far better” why do majority of people on this forum say it’s not fair the Pantsir is accustomed to do something other SAM systems can’t do effeciently since range is the name of the game in their case, (which they can’t use because of game design) and the added factor of multipathing lol.
It would help, but I’m saying it will only do so much.
A competent pilot will distract with you clutter and approach from a completely different angle.
It can’t effectively engage aircraft, and I guarantee you it’d be susceptible to spammed dumb rockets. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be added, but it would be underwhelming at best.
They implemented them as basially a stop gap, they didn’t adjust the game for these systems to work effectively as they should. They just realized they let CAS get too strong and didn’t account for SPAA being able to deal with that.
I’m not even really arguing, I’m just straight up saying game design doesn’t let the SAMS be effective and only let’s CAS be effective (or always be in at an advantage)
…And achieved nothing because they then buffed CAS in the process (see the helis that they, quote, “felt justified adding” because of the new SAMs) and forgot to make the new SAM systems actually work by forcing them to contend with LDIRCM and helis being immune to radars and ECCM not existing and all of these SAMs underperforming across the board in general and 60m multipath on top of ALL that.
It’s all okay though, because the pantsir is UNAFFECTED by multipath by using… magic I suppose.
I’m not saying we need C-RAM in any regard. That was just a point that a gun could be added to the sysem. What we need is gaijin to realise that non-russian SAMs are actually useful and can hit things.
