I used both and haven’t had Igla hitting shots Stingers would miss, they’re both equally bad against a decent pilot.
ZSU also can’t “lead” the missile, so shooting it around obstacles is not possible.
ZSU with Iglas is definitely worse than Gepard 1A2.
ADATS has 10km of range.
Usually i shoot down the jet before it launches the missile, or just hide behind the cover and it misses.
I’m guilty of this, too. But my first and main priority are air targets. Dakkadakka spam is secondary.
Oh are you?
Then here, i got a present for you
i shoot down the missiles the jets launch just incase theyre targetting my teammates instead of me but yeah that comes down to preference
You know the CAS player are not stupid they rarely stay straight enought for you missile and try to hide your Osa, even a maus can hide behind my Osa .
I would like to disagree. I had a fair share of CAS players just go straight, even if their RWR must be screaming at them.
And even if it gets to the target it often shows “HIT”. I have never seen stuff like this in any other SAM, except ADATS
then give me that stupid CAS player because mine are always go low or move when i shoot .
in my experience with the osa i can still hit maneuvering targets if they arent executing perfect maneuvers at the perfect times, which is rare. especially when they start maneuvering right away and bleed their speed before the missile reaches them. youll hit more targets when you lead better.
oh, and you have a very nice proximity fuze.
Proxy, along with the gorka mode carry the OSA
proxy is the only that work on the Osa .
no. Last time i checked thing that did not worked for sure was missile directors being glued to track radar, causing the missile to fall out of the beam
If the target is turning slightly. Good luck hitting it past about 7km. If the radar even locks on at 10km. Rarely it does. And due to the dominance of soviet CAS, you can’t even use your radar because you just advertise that you are a free kill
2S6 can still get dunked pretty easily by FnF missiles from ranges it can’t really effectively target aircraft.
If the plane enters 4km range then it’s a pretty good AA.
2s6 is better against low flying supersonic aircraft with the guns and direct fire missiles osa better against longer range targets that fire missiles towards battlefield from range and altitude
A A-10 9.5km just see my missile and go down just before my missile destroy him .
Yup. That’s why I don’t sit in spawn with it, I’m typically up front using whatever cover is available on the map. You’ve got those 30mm to (try) destroy any vehicle that tries to sneak up on you.
I don’t think anyone here is debating Osa vs 2S6. 2S6 is better overall.
Surprised no one has mentioned USSRs actual most common SPAA at 10.3 :p
We are talking about missile SPAA here, not gun based ones. 2S6 guns are a addition to the talk
Same goes for 2S6 but from past 5km.
You need radar guidance only for planes that are turning but from those ranges, as you said, you aren’t hitting it anyways.
If someone is afk, you don’t really need the help of the radar guidance to hit.
