Cas players should pray we dont get PAC-3, if we dont get patriot in november or december then its the proof of double standards

Proofs already there tbh they strait up said the patriot would be too strong then kinda did a 180 1 patch later with the buk and aster 30

Man i hope they dont add more.
I get it CAS sucks but at same time its ok in small amounts.
We have total no fly zones now, anything more is beating a dead horse. No im not a CAS main

cant overly comment on Buk. But Aster-30 has range only on paper. The reality is that the SAMP/T’s radar can barely lock onto an aircraft passed 30-40km (at least thats what IRL docs state it should be able to lock on at).
combine with the massive nerfs affecting all ARH-based SAMs and they probably wont be a huge threat if you are smart. The CLAW’s Aim-9Xs might remain more effective than SAMP/T, Sky Sabre and Buk if there are no major changes.
This is of course under the assumption that they wont add anything else to CAS…
As it stands CAS is massively artificially nerfed and its hard to justify those restrictions with the current set of SPAA. Add anything stronger… We could very well see CAS actually getting close to their full strength.
25m trigger radius begs to differ

It does feel like the Buk is the embodiment of that hypocrisy of adding the Patriot because it is “too OP”. It seems very likely the Aster will get a series of buffs and improvements post-patch and is only struggling now. But the question then becomes when do we see something competitive for everyone else.
I see no results when searching.
And Patriot was already part of a leak list which means it’s in development unless leakers suddenly drop below their current 100% vehicle accuracy.

Fan fiction is cringe.
I beleive the speculation was that the Patriot/S300 were AI targets as part of a wider roll-out of the SEAD gameplay tested in the event and no player vehicles
The “no Patriot” speculation is the speculation.
Players claiming Patriot is OP is not Gaijin themselves.

what they need to do is increase GRB BRs up to 15.0 minimum, it makes no sense to decompress ARB to 14.0 only to compress it again in GRB

I hope when they add the patriot they also add the ability to mount both pac 2 and pac 3 since it can to that
An aa system that can fire atgm’s? Wack but cool
Modern AGM-114s they won’t get because MMW. Some site I found said they were the longbow variant. So it’d be a fire and forget MMW anti air hellfire (probably blast frag) with a range of only 8k lol.
The radar/fire control truck is also the same radar system as the CLAWS and it doesn’t even target ground vehicles. IRL it’d need a target datalink from an Apache or something else.
The MML also gets these little short range UAV/Projectile SHORAD things. The MHTK from Lockheed. 4x per box, 15 boxes = 60 FnF ATGM interceptions.

Speaking of Iron Dome
Next up on the list of “would people even play this?” USA AA SHORAD
The C-RAM, using only 20MM HE-I self destructing at 2300M range rounds
Only the CIWS (naval version) has AP rounds.

i really want to see this ingame just so i can park it next to the iris-t
It wouldn’t be the first time Gaijin gives ammunition that could technically fit and fire but was never used by the operator
I assume it was never used on the land based systems because thousands of tungsten APDFS rounds raining down on “to whom it may concern” instead of splashing in water sounds like a bad idea.
