Hellfires are great at 10.3 - 11.3 but starts lacking in performance beyond that.
Definitely sucks at 11.7+

I was just playing SPAA and they have 4 MI-28NM helis, can’t do much against that but dame even shooting my full load of missiles they spam you with so many LMURs I can’t even hit them all and run out of ammo for my spaa.
However, ONE SM-SV cleared EVERYTHING from my teams CAS and all my IR missiles on the 64E followed by my helicopter. So the only folks who can reliably play CAS right now is russia and whoever is teamed with them. We need to have better SPAAs for other nations cause Radar spaas are extremely ineffective against helicopters that can peaks for 2 secs spam all their missiles and drop back down.
SM-SV Mach 50billion speed missile is what EVERY nation should have Gajin needs to stop gatekeeping effective spaa from other nations and saving it for handheld russia.
EDIT: don’t get me started with the fact the BMPT is still fking around in game.

When I want to play SPAA and there’s a Pantsir in my team, I just autodestruct and roll another match. These things kill everything by themselves and thx to their rus Mach 30billion missiles they always connect first.
Guess its called balance. Also asked myself where these systems are irl.
There was one at a shooting range of sorts a year or 2 ago.
Thats all
The million £ question is - what happened about 0.5s after this image was taken?
Did it…
a) explode upon arming a few metres away from the launcher like a bad firework.
b) decide it liked it’s launcher so much it did a 180 and yeeted itself back to it’s point of origin.
c) go wildly out of control and end up ‘somewhere over there’ because the radar went a bit funny.
d) end up hitting the wrong aircraft - friendly, or worse neutral.
e) end up embedding itself in the very structure/building/infrastructure the SAM was there to protect.
If the above five options seem remarkably precise - it is because Pantsirs have an uncanny knack for doing all of the above…not necessarily all at the same time, but often enough to become a bit of a meme IRL.

I saw the video, but I can’t seem to find it.
It jest flew straight.

They’re going to have to nerf it like they did to the TOW. Oh wait it only goes one way in this game.
How convenient can’t spam rockets to clutter enemy radar anymore or set off proxi-fuses.
fun fact: if im remembering correctly, the way they coded the 95Y makes it THE most potent HE round in game. Not pheonixes, not the BUK, or yamato, or strumtiger, M55, none of it. The tiny hypersonic supermaneuverable radar guided SAM which the pantsir has several dozen of loaded at any given moment. Because thats fair, but god forbid a spike detonates properly, right?

You are clearly mistaken! You missed option F where it fired 1 missile and destroyed every aircraft NATO ever had without even breaking a sweat!
In all seriousness, I’ll take B. I saw a video in 2023 of a Russian SAM system (not sure what) launching a missile, the missile turning 180 degrees, and slamming into the launcher, blowing it up.
More impressive than the system actually functioning.

You can sometimes die to a fence in the CLAWS/NASAMS radar vehicle
Off topic a little. Does HQ11 inherently having issues hitting helicopters? it removed planes very easily but would often miss helicopters.
Does HQ-11 use ARH or IR missile?
ARH+IOG+DL
So it’s most likely multipath problem
Or hover “notch”

Begs the question: what’s the point of Gaijin adding HARMS when the SM-SV can carry 94821648 missiles? lmao
They also add it on the next major update, AFTER they give japan Su-30MKM the Kh-38MT. so it definitely a calculated move

tbk 1055s have been used, 95ya6m not to my knowledge
fun fact kinematically speaking kh38mts are just as good as harms just with more explosive and able to target all ground vehicles, and the range advantage is moot cause of how trivial interception is at those ranges.
