so ive been playing 9.3 alot lately and theres one thing that ive noticed while trying to do cas.
theres this one spaa that once is on the enemy team is basiclly just unstoppable, missiles with IRCCM at 9.3 and also amazing guns & radar, the missiles are kind of broken, if one is launched at you its extremely hard to dodge and it also completely ignores flares ( yes, i know thats kind of the point of irccm ), i think the guns are already great and that if they nerf the missiles to make cas actually playable at the br it wouldnt completely nerf the vehicle, so what i suggest is either nerfing the IRCCM on it or completely removing the feature from the missiles, it might get alot of hate but many spaa at the br are already great so it shouldnt make CAS unstoppable.
It radar is not very good can be notched easily. Yes it has IRCCM missle but only able to do 10G once you pull hard enough it loose track you easily.
I miss Norway
shillka’s radar can literally get chaffed btw
also the missile barely pulls g’s but has thrust vectoring at launch, so you should change direction as soon as you see a launch
btw you can barrel roll it
It has Igla and Igla-S’s, they pull quite poorly, very easy to dodge.
And very easy to flare when you know how to flare shutoff IR missiles. I suggest watching some youtube tutorials on how to flare the various IR missiles
Defyn has a good one on his channel
Radar is complete decoration compared on gepard, ozelot, itpsv, etc full rotating radard.
Guns are fast, but have a lot less range compared to 35mm oerlikons.
Stock missiles doesnt have proxy fuse, it just got upgraded iglas on BR changes.
And you cant lead missiles at all when firing, they just pull straight from rail.
I personally keep stinger slingers better overall compared to shilka.
Oh, and best way to avoid both is preflaring
1 rule of the ZSU-23-4 club - no one uses radar
2 rule of the ZSU-23-4 club - it is useless to shoot from guns at a distance of more than 2 km
They have recently buffed it at not moved it up because it was obviously under performing… Gaijin dont care.
Why would it move up?
it can move up if the missile is like an r-73
It isn’t like an R-73 though, its an Igla-S
Comparing Igla to R-73 is like comparing the FIM 92E stinger to Magic 2 or aim 9m lmao
I am not comparing… I am saying if gaijin buff that thing like an R-73 it can move up it BR.
The missile is about as weak as other MANPADs , by no means an R-73
Which they didn’t
Stingers and similiar are actually quite easy to dodge if you keep your speed
Hopefully never.
Yk that you can change the shilkas radar to do a full rotation in radar settings and it’s faster that the default 90 degrees
yeah, and it is still slower compared to gepard/ozelot etc.
I rather use that 90 degree and rotate turret from left to right , so I can scan most common places where air threats are coming, since it got nice turret rotation speed
At least you get a radar and IR missiles I don’t get radar at 9.7 the zsu’s radar is pretty good people who say otherwise are just there to prevent it from getting a br increase as usual it’s Russian it gets access to both treaties with a lower br radar’s most important job is to tell you who’s in the sky and the zsu does that as it should you get any air missiles combined with radar at 9.3 nobody has that at that BR especially irccm . It should absolutely get a br increase because this is not a "just shoot the lower front plate " situation
