I will be honest, idk. It has a much stronger radar with 3rd gen TVD, and a better engine but at the end of the day it is a Shilka. 8.0-8.3

we’ve got 3 of them in game already …why not a 4th for India

That’s neat.
Good potential 8.7.
@ChieftainWarrior
Vehicle additions should never be about need.
Especially something unique like AESA radar Shilka.

Need should still be considered, though. The UK already have 3(!) 8.3 SPAAs, we don’t need a 4th that sits at basically the same BR. Ideally we’d get something around 9.0-9.3 to fill the gap between 8.3 and 10.3.

Marksman has a terrible tracking mode.
ZA-35 has limited ammo [not my problem], and a tall search radar.
This Shilka would be a good buff to both ammo and radar, perfect for my 9.3 lineup.

Thb it is still at least a year before anyone from Gaijin even looks at it, so by that time we will get more stuff.
Rapier should be here soon, and maybe a s53 will come too.
+1 sure, why not? I think it should receive 8.7-9.0 at maximum, because it’s still Shilka
Can track from 20k meters but the guns effective range is still 2500m 😂

could be interesting, i believe certain ground radar sets have datalink so having an Aesa on your team at such a low BR (seeing as most people think this is a 8.3-8.7 thing) could make some saclos vehicles more viable with some good teamplay.
Anything known about this?
All that is known for now that is has to be some kind of proxy or AHEAD like ammunition.
In development I presume? Airburst 23mm seems like it would be quite difficult to make work, but I suppose that India already has knowhow in experimental ammunitions to some degree.
Yep
It seems it will be more of a: “fill the whole sky with it, some of it will be close enough to hit”, considering how Schilka works.

Oh for sure, even a smallish calibre round like 23mm would be insanely effective when combined with the Shilka’s ridiculous fire rate and the domestic Indian radar and FCS upgrades.
Absolutely +1
It looks like the upgraded schilka has been used in combat between India and Pakistan for repelling the drone attacks on India.

Looking at the fire rate I think it is a schilka rather than any other gun that India uses and the rounds fired were airburst as well.

+1 for independent Indian Tech Tree
This is why India should’ve never been added to Britain

You do know that’s probably never happening right?
+1 all for more spaa regardless of nation
