And a poorly modeled one at that.
It’s the sad state for most of the SPAA/IADS in game.
No the patriot and thaad systems are theater defense. You are talking about an engagement envelope larger than the map. Please stop with this madness.
Close equivalent would be SLAMRAAM. even then not so much. US uses C-RAM and theater defenses and MANPADS for a lot of air defense. It leads for a real lack of need for something like a PANTSIR.
Name a single vehicle that can fill the role of the patriot in a single mobile package.

And it’s still not a patriot, huh?

Fire rate is the main thing for War Thunder, the M230 as found on the AH-64 has an RPM of 600, the 230LF (XM914) has a fire rate of 200RPM, The M914 also has a round encoder for smart ammo(compare what is supported for the AH-64 and Sgt. Stout), uses linked belts, and has an optional dual feeding system to permit optimal target engagement instead of being forced to rely on whatever ratio was loaded in the tray in that order.

Israeli Chaparral is legitimately useless at top tier.
Can’t lock drones whatsoever
Can’t lock helicopters beyond 1-2km (and can’t hit Heli’s with IRCM whatsoever)
Can’t lock aircraft beyond 3-5km depending on aspect, making it effectively useless against all top CAS.
Caged seeker (Like Aim-9B/D size levels of awful) so basically impossible to hit closer range targets that aren’t directly flying towards or away from you.
Super Smokey motor to let every aircraft not only know a missile is coming, but where it was fired from to perform SEAD duty.
I and many other Israeli players, have dropped Chaparral from my lineup in favour of Machbet, which is also fairly useless, but at least it has the VADS for dealing with Ka-52 rocket rushing, which chaparral is borderline defenceless against.
Even playing Chappie at its own BR, things like A-6 / A-10 just bully it with impunity.

Sorry for my ignorance and yes now I know.
You using the stock MIM-72E or the MIM-72G? The E is a standard like the US one the G should have a uncaged Stinger style seeker system.
The G.
Whether or not it should have a caged seeker, idk.
But in game, it’s caged.
And even if it weren’t, it’s still be a million miles worse than ADATS for all the other reasons I mentioned.
Yes, some ways or another they are not the same or equivalent true . But the problem still remain. What can there be that USA can use to level the playing field? Depending on other players playing other countries for their AA systems may not always be a viable solution.
What about the MML?(multi mission launcher) I read that it can carry hellfires , aim 9x and also tamir missiles which have a maximum range of 17km? The tamir has a maximum g pull of 30g or more and a speed of 3.3 mach. And if USA has it, of course Israel can have it too. Considering that’s their iron dome system missile

Il read into this. This is very interesting
this is the best and most balance spaa tbh with Ethier aim120a/c5 16km or the
Amaram-ER with 50km max range (25km to 30km on fast moving planes 50km is the maximum range missile can go) it would actually not be op and as the on sight guided missile because you can notch and chaff them unlike SACLOAS missile on pantsir s1and i want every country to get there arh spaa not only usa
This is not an AIO unit though, is it?
No I don’t think so, I’m not sure where their control would be.

it’s only OP because it’s the only one atm that has those types of capabilities. It’s a modern AA that is being used today in the Ukrainian war. We just need something that is just as powerful to combat the more modern jets.

It wouldnt be on sight. It would go back to radar locking instead of visually sighting the enemy like it use to be. That use to be WAY better than just visually locking on to enemy. Just more realistic . Idk why they went for visual lock.
We escalate , we never de escalate, comrade. De escalating while the enemy escalates is a fools errand.
