The best of them (in theory the German one) was nerfed and has a shorter range than the Pantsir. The missile may even be better, but what’s the point of putting 12km of range on a missile that has 20 in real life and the Pantsir continuing to be the best anti-aircraft overall. Or am I wrong?

They already confirmed, Britain,Italy and France are getting them in September, so for the next 4 months, the anti air gameplay for those 3 nations is going to be completely void, it’s ridiculous

I think you might be a bit mistaken, they said in the Russian stream it’s range is much greater, around 40km
The 12km range your looking at is the range of the seeker , the missile flies with DL & INS before the seeker turns on

No they said nothing about Britain, they said France and Italy will receive the SAMP-T using the Aster.
But I would expect some kind of SAM for Britain maybe India or SA have a system.

I will be incredible dissapointed and angry if an indigenous sam system is bypassed for some Indian or south african one. It would be indefensible.
Furthermore, having air defence neutered until september would be a complete joke.

I have lost all hope in Gaijin and only one nation in game will use ASRAAM…
SkySabre should have come the mechanics and animations are basically the same as IRIS-T/Spyder systems

It wouldn’t be so bad, if they hadn’t crippled the ADATS. You can’t even see the goddam missile past 4km, and that’s the thing they expect us to use? I get the flare burns out in real life, but the operator isn’t guiding the missile in real life.
They should have cut the badger, or some premium vehicle if that’s what it took for all nations to have gotten a decent air defence system.

They likely ran out of time and the minor nations had to suffer. Im shocked Russia didnt get one

We’re gonna agree to disagree over the Eldenhet, 10km range is made uselss when it has problems hitting targets at 8km lol

Hence me saying they should have cut something else. :)
At the very least, they should copy-paste the american system into other nations until their’s are ready.

We’ll have to get it at some point tho
If they bypass the sky sabre for an Indian or South African addition, I expect a very large amount of backlash, especially after making the British player base wait until September to be able to play anti air

Exactly, I’m sure 99/100 people would rather have the Sky Sabre, than the badger or some premiums. Just poor choices and a complete disconnect from their own community. Very disappointing, and I only fear that when the Sky Sabre comes, after the 4 month wait, we would receive the CAMM instead of the CAMM-ER. It seems like something Gaijin would do.
Given that France and Sweden (and mainly France) will still have to cope with the VT-1 on their ItO-90, I feel like it’s finally time this missile got its historical performance, we’ve been dealing with gimped performance on the VT-1 for way too long.

Should be up to 15 km distance and 35G of pull at 8 km, it’s currently underperforming badly.

I’m just gonna point out they mentioned new systems for France and Italy on the stream, but nothing for Britain.
It’s not encouraging.
Calling it now, they’ll give the Russians the Buk and give it an indian skin and give that to the British tree. I’d love to be proven wrong.

Honestly knowing Gaijin and their disregard to the British tree , I wouldn’t be surprised. However I do hope they would receive enough backlash to not attempt such a lazy approach

The backlash is from Britain…No one plays Britain in Gaijins eyes

Which is disproved by the stats but eh Gaijin’s bad faith isn’t anything new
