How doesn’t it have a weakspot?
I had a fully loaded Su-30SM, launched all my KH-38s and they all including 2 glide bombs (somehow) were intercepted.
Then the cherry on top? Despite me flying away, getting low, flaring, and notching… the IRIS-T hit me about 14-16 miles from the battlefield.
Edit: was notching because an F-15E was also chasing, since people think I was notching an IR missile.
Actually in a test of that LDIRCM system, but myself and 4 others.
We found the irist can kill the mi-28mm despite firing into the Ldircm field.
And the mi-28mm was inconsistently hit, but hit more often than not.
I mean, I more so see an issue that the Pantsir SM-SV unlike the SLM has 4 30mm guns and smokes while the SLM doesn’t have any of that. Additionally, the SLM can usually be screwed over by helis with LDIRCM while Pantsir SM-SV can’t.
how about the absurd amount of missiles or the extreme range/speed
Plus the MI-28NM can be hit mainly because the SLM missile has Datalink
Playing russia top tier is awful, top tier is 100% Germany vs USA and you pray you get Japan or Sweden or Israel maybe even Jap/Swed on your team. For all the hand holding russia gets it’s still at or below Germany, Japan, Britian minus the USA (to be fair USA gets a lot of noobs to begin with). The aircraft is very subpar compared to Europe and USA. I want russia to have nice things but not at the expense of the entire BR brackets. ERA is obsolete but hey without it those russian tanks would be popping like soda cans left and right. The reload buff was definitely needed but USA still gets 5 secs on Ace crews (which i have) and Japan has a deadly 4 sec.
Those 30mms rarely come in handy anymore.
And the pansir require constant LOS correct?
Oh no, Im not defending that. I admit its stupid fast, hell I managed to have a current K/D of 8.0 unless its a bit lower or higher right now
I find it overall becoming more about CAS with better sead and better SPAA to counter the sead instead of being tanks vs tanks battles and I’m afraid that soon enough MBTs and so on at top tier wont matter at all
That’s what happens when the opposition didn’t have to worry until now.
Not really, you can gimmick the aim assist on controllers to look onto helis through tree lines to kill them, its most consistent with the regular 95Ya6 of course.
are you really complaining about having a free gepard build in?
i think the main issue is the SM-SV is a jack of all trades. it can do literally everything
spice bombs got added to a lot of nato aircraft in large qauntity and the SM-SV has 48 TBK to deal with the munition
LDIRCM helis (AH64E) are performing really well it has SACLOS missiles to deal with that easy making NATO LDIRCM helicopters useless against russia
the 95YA6M can deal with any NATO cas jet with ease
all this on 1 single platform with smoke grenades to neglect missiles incase it doesnt intercept them (it will)
and the fact that there is ZERO nato counterparts to it because the BUKM3 was apparently “not good enough”
If it was like the Gepard I wouldn’t complain.
But it’s 4 bmp-2s with its 65mm pen AP belt.
exactly but we already know who wins that engagement
Exactly, I didn’t state it earlier and that’s my bad
I heard a lot of people saying the Buk was a massive tk machine lol
not to mention the 30mm to deal with heli rushers or jets going for a gun run which was the best way to deal with a BUK.
imo the SM-SV is a very clear bias/favourtism/babying to russia when they already had a good aa system
It shows there is a real issue at the moment.
Not at all, it only TKs if they user decides to shoot its FAT ARH missile at two people dogfighting
