Okay? As far as I am aware, the Pantsir still one shots any heli without issue, especially as the helis its facing arent the Ka-52 like everyone else.
I would gladly give up the ADATS armour pen abilities in favour of the Pantsir anti-fixed wing capabilities. In fact, I find the ADATS so pointless, that I just run the Stormer HVM at top tier to counter helis instead as its so bad at fighting fixed wing it basically a waste of a line-up slot
its because the KA52 and SU 25 miss their ERA otherwise it would be really usefull, i take advantage of this post to remind gaijin that according to various source that i found on some very trustfull site (reddit and quora) SU 25 can be equiped with kontakt 5.

Correct me if im wrong but its Exlposive reactive armour. One thing is tanks which hav e 30mm of steel or more behind the ERA, but planes? with like, 5mm of aluminium? how does that not just self destruct the plane?
because its rusky, according to the stat 10mm of russian armor = 100mm of pesky western low quality alloy.
Russians just build different
My comments have been sarcastic just like the OP maybe you should learn sarcasm 😂😂😂
Best SAM in the game.
Struggling.
Russia falling behind, when it is literally the lead nation for SAM systems.

That checks out i suppose
I dont think theyre planes are sporting an outer fouselage thicker than 15mm and certianly not pure steel on the whole thing, I highly doubt Konakt 5 is actually mounted and used on Su25s
War thunder forums often dont dissapoint to entertain me
