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
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.
quite the flight time for your missile to reach them. i usually wait until they come closer, unless if theyre preparing to launch a maverick. then ill fire, either my missile kills the a-10 or if they start going low i redirect the missile to the maverick and shoot it down instead
At the end of the day, I would rather the enemy air come closer to the battlefield than to be sitting in an oversized SPAA that can only fire missiles. 2S6 can help cap, kill enemy ground units, it’s just a better life. Hence, any topic that only discusses what missile is better is not to be taken too seriously. Not to mention, that many of my air kills in the 2S6 are with the 30mm that are flying at tree height level that would be gone before the OSA’s missiles even have time to react.
Don’t even get me started on my dislike for the TOR-M1…
If that is the case then why dont the 2S6 have issue with hitting me when I’m evading has hard as I can with CM spam at 8-10km distance and 10k ft alt and climbing.
If what you say is true, I should never be killed. I literally side skirt climb 15km from the battlefield until I’m above 20k ft otherwise i will die.
The OSA is vastly superior to the trash Rolands at the same BR, missiles outrange everything for 10.3 and it can shoot down helicopters/jets pretty reliably on a head on, the proxy fuze on the 9M33M3 is massive and has a lot of explosive filler so it’s a guaranteed one shot.
Not to mention the Rolands can barely pull what feels 6g, bleed all their speed on the slightest turn and lose all control after 3km while 9M33M3 can pull its full 24G for its entire travel time.
Yeah I know what he is trying to do, but with thermals - I don’t even need a lock a lot of the time in 2S6. Just visual aim and get the missile within proxi range. I often find locking to be quite optional.
yeah that non sense update trashed the roland and the effects of “realistic missile” whatever has not been applied to the osa as it came out. what frustrates me is that they know the roland is trash so they gave the airfield rolands completely different missile charasteristics where theyre able to hit targets in situatiosn where the normal roland would never hit with the same damn missile.
