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

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.

Thats an option but BVVD mentioned Aster and SAMP-T

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
Not even that. The Buk-M3 had gone radical changes to the launcher compared to the base one. That means even the Indian one requires remodelling.
Im not even expecting any British SAM, at all.
They’ll happily model 20 premiums though
Do those 4 months really matter that much? Sure they’d be fun, but like with every update the spaa in this case is going to be spammed for a good while. CAS gameplay will reduce for a bit meaning half your team will be fighting for that lost PO-2 in the corner.
If the trend of spaa has calmed down again and the CAS is starting back up, then they will become usefull. Normal spaa will do just fine untill then i think.
CAS gameplay will change, but being dependant on another nation to protect you is bad for gameplay.
Do you remember Ka-50 spam and only 2 nations had SAMs that could counter them Russian 2S6 and USA ADATs it made for incredibly miserable gameplay.
You wouldn’t really be dependend tho. Back then spaa was just not that great in general with close to non rocket capable ones as you mentioned. But around that time CAS was way different aswell.
The current spaa can handle itself fine from low to mid range (few longer range aswell) and appart from the long range outer atmosphere bombers the new spaa won’t make that much of a difference. To be fair the new systems will have more trouble trying to shoot down extreme close air making them depended on the good old spaa we have now.
Can’t let Italy be good, just play Germany and slap an Italian flag on it
