not really, this event has already shown they can simply add a spawn location for SAMs but give a general idea and force the CAS pilot to actually use mk2 eyeballs and scan the area for threats. thats also what RWR is for on some jets :D it gives you a direction and in some jets “can” give you a distance but that isnt modelled fully in WT.
I get what your wanting but S-75s simply would make GRB maps kinda redundant for SAM/SPAA players if those are being shot down. if gaijin are fully committed to adding multi vehicle SAM systems into the game like mentioned in the last Q&A then they need to get GRB maps corrected to allow them to function as SAMs and not as spawn food for CAS or other tanks because god forbid we get bigger maps to allow SAMs to spread out more (hence the need for SAMs to have there own spawns outside the GRB map area scattered around the larger map space)
In fact, these are the S75M2 now, which uses the V759 missile with a maximum range of 60km.

Its acting like a BUK though thats my point.
Simply put at the ranges ground RB is these SAMS would only be able to hit things higher up.
Are we going to see Patriots just splashing Su-30s spawning before they can vomit Kh-38s?
Which they shouldnt be if they are supposed to 1970s era missiles?
There is a gross imbalance in ground rb and the ability to fend off CAS of 4th generation fighters. Gaijin has been promising and hinting at heavy multi vehicle sams for a bit. And the first one up that is being tested in an even is a 70 year old,. This doesnt make me believe that adding this 70 year old system even in ground rb and you figure how to such as sam sites or something is going to fix anything of the current meta of CAS ruling mid to late game play in ground.
You would need the SAMs to be active as soon as you spawn
Or make the spawn for aircraft further away from the battle area
At the moment you would still get your Kh-38s off before the S-75 hit you
Typhoon and Brimstones…LOL forget about it
The SAM year has nothing to do with it.
They’ve added a set of modules that can be config’ed to many different SAM systems
The S-75 is just what they’re testing it with
In the 70S, you had the AGM78B and AIM7F. But obviously you have nothing in this task. Even SA2 can cover the high altitude in the south of the map.

Japan has been handicapped with a top tier spaa that literally is part of multi vehicle sam system. CAS shouldnt rule GROUND Rb games. Because some people like playing ground in ground rb. If you want top tier jets and cant figure out to put in heavy sams then place a cap on what jets are allowed in to top tier ground. You can keep 3rd generation fighters and the stuff because most spaa is capable of fighting that.
It does matter the sams year because this means it will be the first one added likely in some fashion to ground rb. Which means it is at best redundant at worse it does nothing and can only occasionally pose a threat.
The AIM-7F Sparrow missile entered service in 1976
Sa-2 was not a good SAM for medium to short range.
Doesn’t mean anything, its a universal system for multi-vehicle AA’s. It can branch out in a lot of different ways in the future.
Please incorporate this into a new permanent game mode. This sounds awesome!

Im willing to bet you the s-75 will be the first heavy sam in ground rb for at least a update or two
Yeah its always the same with gaijn well in the future we will add heavier sams after we add one that is 70 years old and sit with that for 3-4 updates

I agree it’s a cool idea and makes ground attack aircraft relevant having acheivable objectives
Not bomb these 5 bases and then an airfield…

And the radars of these SA2s have surreal capabilities. For example, in the previous tests, my friend and I found that even if your plane was behind an obstacle, these radars were still pointing at you.

Im willing to bet you here and now. We see the s-75 be the only heavy sam system in ground for 2-3 updates possible longer. That is the s-75 will be where gaijin just stops and sits on it for a couple updates.
I’m just hoping they make it radar guided and not SACLOS. Makes it hard to dodge.
