Can you go back to your Echo Chambre? The amount of unfounded cope is unreasonable and adds nothing to the conversation.
I still don’t think having to place a bunch of giant vehicles on a map with zero places to hide them making it trivial for enemies to spot it is even remotely acceptable game design.
Aside from the fact that SPAA is severely lacking in it’s capabilities and gets absolutely shit on by a helicopters and such.
Even if by a miracle the SPAA can actually defend the airspace, I bet it will be no time at all before CAS gets their privileged position back with more absurd weapons that ruin the game as they have for the last decade.

You can hide them, only on certain maps tho

Im more concerned about the bugs it may bring with no fixes…
You are gaslighting yourself with your ignorance :)
For MPQ-64, it should still be implemented however. I think the current code allows for the TWS ESA part to have a different sector size. Would make each scan cycle have more accurate TWS updates.
Though I think the reason why TWS ESA isn’t implemented for most ground radars is because they are rotating. And how they simulate that is by having a “fixed” radar with 360° horizontal coverage. So there’s no “front” of array concept in-game unless the array has a fixed position (hence why the Pantsir/TOR/BUK, etc have it on their fixed arrays), with the front of a fixed array being related to the turret position instead. So if TWS ESA was added to “rotating” radars now, they would have continuous update of all trackfiles in a 360° radius (or if sector limited, it is pointing always in the same direction), regardless if the radar is even pointing in the relevant direction.
Spyder is an interesting one, having actually 4 fixed arrays irl, but in-game I believe it’s just simulated as one singular 360° rotating radar with 4 evenly offset beams. For this radar though, they could just add TWS ESA, because of its configuration.
So I think for TWS ESA to work on rotating arrays, Gaijin needs to couple the radar scan pattern with the physical rotation of the model of the radar antenna. Then they can get a “front” and do correct TWS ESA updates. Or at least some way to shift the “front” with rotation. But I can see that coupling model and scan direction may cause some spaghetti (net)code issues, especially the faster the radar rotates.

Never said it should not
That is correct
They decided not to it seems
they tried to do it on the dev server, using Tan-SAM radar. They failed.
just to add to your screenshot, this was from the last Community Update.
people really have the memory of a goldfish.
You maybe means useless and crappy?
Cuz all SAM’s with ARH missiles just sucks due to very primitive radars and radiowaves implementation. It literally cant hit anyone who’s not AFK.
No, the German ones have something like 4x the range and is 265m/s faster
@Necronomica just linked you a post where they say Japan IS supposed to get a new SAM
I would also add that it was also mentioned in the max BR increase Dev blog:
