I had the old Sierra “A-10 Thunderbolt II” game and the best missions in the game were ones where you had to terrain mask to get gun kills on SAMs because you couldn’t carry enough ordinance to use a maverick on them and also complete the mission, and if you got above the ridge line, not only would the SAMs waste you, but so would the MIG-29s.
I like the concept but there won't be any verdict for a long time, some will say it's terrible and others will say it's great and neither will produce combat stats. >but some got killed
The best system on earth can be killed if the crew is shit or they run out of fuel >but they shot down x
Take enough shots and some will land
>The best system on earth can be killed if the crew is shit or they run out of fuel
kek, slavshit equipment fans have been reduced to coping about MUH MONKEY CREWS
>point out no one has combat preformance info >I must be a vatnik shill
Russian crews are terrible and we saw them get in a 10km long traffic jam that lasted 2 weeks becasue logi was so fucked.
The idea that incompetent crews or no fuel is getting vehicles killed shouldn't be news to anyone at this point.
Wheres the lie? Russian AA crews almost certainly are dog shit. It's a conscript military backed by a Spanish sized economy, so retaining skilled AA crew must be hard. They must lack interoperability training with the dribbling thalidomide children of the Russian Air Farce based on the fact their large exercises are just dog and pony shows.
It's performance has been much better than the Pantsir. But the interface and software are still 1980s era antiques staffed by poorly trained Russians.
I think it simplifies the initial turn >come out vertical >fire thruster to pitch forward >turret is already rotated to the target so forward is always towards the target
It's a missile system.
Pain in the ass in DCS
I love hunting them with the A-10C II and a few AGM-65s, you need hills but doing DEAD in something so bad at it is satisfying.

Everything western is better by an order of magnitude. But Ukraine can still use it to fuck up russia (not vice versa, though).
here's your verdict
top kek
Free my nigga
>chinks get the tor
>russian don't
>chink zsu 57 is the only one with fused shells
Chink bias is the true wathunder bias
>command giuided
into the trash it goes
Computer commands. Not MCLOS or any such bullshit.
I never understood why the missiles are in the turret
I think it simplifies the initial turn
>come out vertical
>fire thruster to pitch forward
>turret is already rotated to the target so forward is always towards the target
>Whats the verdict on the Tor-M1
VLS is cool
Ukraine vids show the radar to be inadequate for both cruise missiles and GMLRS missiles
absolutely clapped piece of shit
