Germany or Sweden, Russia is arguably the best, simply because of the pantsir s1

Germany has the:

  • FlaRakPz

  • FlaRakRad

Sweden has the:

  • LVRBV 701

  • ASRAD-R

  • ITo-90M

Russia has the:

  • Pantsir

  • Strela MT-LB

  • 2S6

  • Shilka 4M (arguable)

China. Just Snail, for some reasons, marked them not as “SPAA”, but “Helicopter”

Russia, with the ZSU-23-4-M4, the Strela, the Tunguska, and the Pantsir

I can only hope China gets one of the TY-90 ground slingers, the one with the 35mm revolver cannon would be goated

TT with the most SAM:
(The most in game is 4): USA, Germany, Russia, Sweden
TT with the best quality:
Best missiles in game in order from the best:
95Ya6, VT-1, 9M331.
TT with them:
Russia (95Ya6), Germany (VT-1), China (9M331), France (VT-1), Sweden (VT-1)
Platfrom capability in order from the best:
Pantsir (95Ya6, Russia, has guns), Tor-M1(9M331, China), ITO-90M (VT-1, France, Sweden), FlakRakRad (VT-1, Germany)

Overall best nations based on your criteria:
Russia, Sweden.
Other options:
China, France, Germany.

Other TT:
USA: SAM suffers due to dual purpose missile, has a additional gun.
UK: SAM suffers due to dual purpose missile,
Japan: Nearly top tier SAM, missiles are strong but have short range.
Italy: No top tier SAM (Nearly top tier SPAAG).
Israel: No top tier SAM (No top tier SPAA altogether).

USSR and it’s not even a contest, the Strela, Tunguska and Pantsir are vastly better than BR equivalents.

idk why anyone thinks this when TY-90s are hardcapped to self-destruct at 6km range, even ground based Stingers would be a better deterrence than TY-90s.

It also suffers because gaijin wont give the other system ACLOS and so its effectively at the mercy of the pingmaster, meanwhile gaijin are taking a very, very, very, very long time in adding other SAM systems for the UK too (though the AD is a nice addition to those who cant use HVM).

Ironically the UK could become the best SAM nation below 10.0 if gaijin added Blowpipe/Javelin/Starburst systems, and best in higher branch if the Starstreak ACLOS system was implemented so that the player isnt using it in a SACLOS way making it hard to use close in/impossible if player or targets ping is high.

Well, it is what it is…

Most definitely Russia. Due to their doctrine of SPAAGs being mobile and providing fire support and cover to tank units, they have numerous capable and highly mobile SAM and combination SPAA systems.

If you want IR missiles then japan, if you want laser guided and ir guided then Russia.

Much thanks for the info. So if i wanted to look it up, would I go to the helicopter tree to find it or is it somehow listed as a helo on the ground forces tree???

Relax, it was just a joke based on that Chinese helies have a very good anti-air missiles (and a lot, like their top heli can pack 16 of those)
