They clearly don’t give a shit. Same reason why they made the US and UK top tier spaa a tank destroyer because it’s called “air defence anti tank system”. It’s not even good at killing tanks now, especially compared to soviet SPAA.
Yet you still get the usual suspects saying “hur dur american players dum dum hehe” whilst they pound them to death with Su25Ts/Mig27Ks as the enemy can’t even spawn an SPAA, and if they spawn a fighter for air defence they have to contend with the best SPAA in the game.
Adats has slightly better anti tank capabilities than a gepard, 2s6 or marksman etc… I’d argue the Falcon is more effective in an anti tank role, the fact is classed as a tank destroyer in comparison is dumb af. Funny how the most effective sam systems are the TOR, strela, 2s6 and pantsir… Meanwhile most of nato s**t simply doesn’t work. Amazing. I have zero faith in any stormer fixes or in anything that would be added as an addition. Until other sam systems work there’s no point trying to deal with top tier cas, you’re better off staying at 8.3/8.7 with multiple gun systems to choose from.
Staying at 8.7 wouldn’t be too bad… But the recent sound changes also made aircraft essentially silent until about 900m or less… So best of luck with that.
Now THAT is a sentence you can probably never tire of saying… =)
We’ve since gone down the Rapier missile rabbit-hole… with honourable mentions of Blowpipe, Ajax, and a few other ‘interesting’ procurement decisions of days gone.
I came out of some cloud over Reykjavík the other day in an ATR-72 600. I was greeted by a golden sunset and a rainbow with light rain hitting the windscreen. It was amazing.
I flew the aircraft on final manually and buttered the landing despite a fairly decent cross wind so there was quite a lot of crabbing going on.
It was one of the most epic moments in a game I’ve ever had, and I actually had a great time in a video game which I’m not used to after playing war thunder. 🤣
Yeah same. After the MANPADS and CR2 devblogs, I’ve decided I’m not going to spend another penny on WT unless things drastically change. So it looks like I’ll be saving some money in 2024.
Guys, I played a game and saw a teammate kill four planes with the Stormer. So in the next match I played the Stormer and managed to kill two planes (AV-8A and Su-25BM) with ease. Did they change something?
There might also be a server related issue. At different times of day/week. Their performance could be dramatically different. I had a starstreak from an apache phase through the aircraft in the Heli EC gamemode 4 times in a row. It can be very hit and miss
I was streaming it on the dc, i had Apache Starstreak EXPLODE on the MI 28, 12 of them, all did nothing.
yes i rearmed 2 times focusing only on killing it, nope
It seems like something has changed, I don’t know. Maybe the devs are testing something in production. It’s hitting more than before indeed. “Not great, not terrible.”
