I have a keybind and it comes in pretty handy.
When someone is in gun range I’ll use radar as well, otherwise my radar is off and have IRST set up.

Just checked, it does have a TV contrast tracker.

Okay, you convinced me. I found a free button on my keyboard

the Osa is only a radar missile not TV
it has a camera for viewing the target, the 9Sh38-2 TOV and while it is called the tracking camera, it does not optically lock a target, you track the target through the camera and manually move your sight on the target for engagement
It is supposed to track the target using “angular coordinates” So a centroid tracker.
Please do clip it next time as I’d like to see a plane getting killed by 2S6 from that far out.
As most people in here have stated, even drones that far out can get challenging.
I like that term lol.
Watch some YT clips, there are people dodging Pantsirs from 10km out while using Brimstones.

where did you get information to this from? i havent found such for the osa ak or akm
yeah it’s the irst mode that no tv
going to have to read through it. in some cases they call it a tracking camera despite there not being a function in panel to engage this tracking as it would be done manually by moving the sight.
it just says IRST, as there is no separate test for TV track in the radar display
the angular tracking probably refers to the concept of tracking vertical and horizontal angles manually through the camera. what page did you find it on?
i guess after translating it a bunch of times in a bunch of different places, it seems like it might not be a centroid tracker, but a simple crosshair used to track it manually

just the problem of what is lost in translation.

yes, i have had trouble translating files too. i feel like they have added the irst tracker for balance reasons and i personally wouldnt object to it being there.
nah, that would be reportable
what could happen is “reported as suggestion”. i made a report for the roland being low smoke after initial launch with good sources and they said it is also a suggestion despite low smoke motors being in the game now. But i agree, it is reportable.
The suggestion is just how they treat it. For modern and semi-modern thing they pass them as suggestions, not bugs. It does not change anything tbh.

But still do not understand why the 2S6 is 10.7. I would still consider its performance on par with most nations 11.7 SPAA options and potentially superior to a few (ADATS, Type 81 and OTOMATIC) and dwarfs the performance of more than a few at or around 10.7 like the Imp Chapparal and Stormers. Only things close are the OSA and Strela. Conveniently all soviet made stuff
