Compared to other nations, this vehicle would have been ideal?
It reflects exactly the “russian bais” topic.
What?
2s6 was very bad when introduced, then it was heavily buffed after osa introduction
How hard some people try is becoming funny…

Probably cuz top tier was still 10.7 and 10.3 didn’t need a SAM until the br was raised and there was a reason to add AA
By heavily buffed you mean how it struggles to hit maneuvering strike drones from 6km+ away ?

2S6 needed to fire 6 missiles in order to shoot me down and that number should probably be higher than that if I knew how to roll properly. This thing is basically a missilebot as hitting anything with a single braincell from further than ~5km is really hard and inefficient. Strela moggs it at closer ranges, Osa moggs it at longer ranges, so spawn it only if you wish to shoot at mindless missiles coming towards the map as hitting other, semi-smart things reliably is out of the question.
2S6 truly suffers.

- Getting the G overload from 18 to 32G
- Radar upgrade (which also enables IRST lock without triggering RWR)
With the missile guidance update when all missiles just slide too much when moving, all saclos spaa (especially including Roland 1/flarakpz) got affected.
And yeah I also had troubles at hitting a drone maneuvering at 7km away with the roland.
Roland platforms sit at 9.7 and 10.0, so a full BR lower or so than 2S6 and even then, people are trashing on Roland for being utter crap.
On the other hand, 2S6 is often considered to be too strong for 10.7 for some reason, while it is overshadowed in closer/longer ranges by AAs that can be found lower in BR. If someone doesn’t enjoy that PvE feel of being a missilebot then playing it has no meaning.

It was the only missile AA in game when it was introduced, that by itself made it extremely strong.

yea as if 2S6 isnt one of the, if not, the best AA at 10.7 and is competitive up to even 11.3
also the clip u showed doesnt mean anything, ur in a pretty manoeuvrable drone + u were at the max range of the 2S6, of course the missile doesnt have much energy left

yea cuz they are utter crap
personally I think the 2S6 should to up to 11.0, it would do just fine there. It perform so closely to ADATS but slightly worse and I feel like 11.0 is much more fitting. 2S6 is pretty much a mini pantsir (less speed and range) but effectively is strong
yea thats how every AA work? They got their strength and weakness by design. You expect the 2S6 to beat something like strela at close range?
It’s pretty much the only AA found at 10.7.
You mean the shitbox that can barely break 200km/h.
It simply isn’t designed to outmaneuver SAMs at any range.
9M311-1M has a range of 10km, so me dodging several missiles from less than 7km away is far from good if you ask me.
2S6’s main strength is shooting at missiles as it simply isn’t hitting anything else.
If that’s what you enjoy then be my guest, but don’t expect everyone to be thrilled by a PvE gameplay.

u dont need to speed to dodge SACLOS AA, u just need agility, which is exactly what the drone has
U can be mach 1 on the deck going sideway to the 2S6 and it will still hit you
2S6 was sitting behind the C point, roughly 500 meters behind. If you rewatch the clip you were able to dodge until u were ~6km away and he still hit you which is still really far
also what do you mean “far from good” bro ~6km effective range is stupid good at 10.7, and like I said, it should be at 11.0
The best CAS munition 2S6 see is the shitty mavericks or maybe laser guide bomb from space, and it can easily intercept both
mhm and its amazing at that. It’s also good at shooting down plane too if they arent careful
Something like that can drain missile’s energy much better than any drone could.
9M311-1M needs a single pull past 4km to become a total slug incapable of hitting anything.
6km is far from the specified 10km range on the missile.
I bet someone more experienced could dodge it at even closer ranges, but even a guy like me could do it at those ranges, which is really telling.
Never managed to do that to Osa though.
Effective range against a strike drone.*
You aren’t hitting a jet that far away.
So yeah, back to being a PvE missilebot until you run out of missiles.
No, you need to be totally afk in order to get hit by one and at that point all SACLOS missiles are good too.
