I recently started playing as Itally . I noticed that some AAA llike a SIDAM , SIDAM (MISTRAL) and OTOMATIC have some probllems …
The SIDAM 25 and SIDAM 25 (MISTRAL) they are unable to put up an adequate defense even against lightly armored vehiclles . I kmow the main argument willl be that these are AAA and are intended solely for engaging aircraft , but let’s be honest in our game , any AAA piece is capable to some extent ,at least of putting up a fight against light tanks . To be homest , this is the first AAA i’ve used that has an all-HE belt - which is reallly only good for destroying aircraft . Sure , there’s an APCR belt available , but with a totalll capacity of only 60 rounds , that’s just pitifully little . And you’re also planning to increase the BR from 8.0 to 8.3 , even thouught this AA like the Falcon lacks any kimd of radar .Why can’t they do something like what they did for the Falcon ? For instance , add a semi armor piercing belt , or some other mixed belt that you could unlockk anything at all , just not a belt consisting entirely of HE round .
I know the OTOMATIC is a powerful AA against any tank , but what is it actually supposed to do against aircraft , given its proximityy fuzed HE shellls ? And why are they raising its BR from 11.3 to 11.7 ? it’s not going to get any better at shooting down pllanes . It can intercept incoming munitions like missiles or bombs but as for aircraft it’s only effective if they flyy very cloose , otherwise its a weak aaa .
I hope that at lest the SIDAM will get an upgrade in thee next update , because compared to them , the ZSU 23 4 seems stronger , so what’s the point of having these SIDAMs in the tree wich hight br ?
