ADATS: Surface-to-EVERYTHING missile

Published 2024-07-17
Can a close range SPAA fight tanks? In the 1980s, the US military was seriously considering this possibility. After all, around that time, there was a very intriguing and highly unusual project suggested by the Swiss defense company Oerlikon: a special Air Defense Anti-Tank System that used missiles and was equally effective against targets on the ground and in the air.

    "could track 8 targets at 25km" Warthunder: 1 target at 10km take it or leave it
  • @JustDaveSL
    "did not live up to the clients expectations..." ...11.7
  • @INeatFreak
    ADATS should be 11.3 and categorized as SPAA, making this same BR as Panthsir is a joke
  • @HEATSEEKR
    Why does the ADATS have to have a higher than average cost? With CAS being the problem that it is the US and UK shouldn't have to suffer to spawn in their top spaa
  • @Aapowt
    "could track 8 targets at 25km" *in game lock 1 target at a max range of 6km
  • @b4ptist
    Love how I gotta pay tank destroyer prices to play an AA.

    "tell us in comments" removes comments that are negative ah, i see why Jingles dropped WT completely from his channel....

    does this video mean there's a fix for the gunner optic coming on the american one? or is that still getting forgotten about, making the missiles useless above 59 degrees of elevation. the optic has -5/+90 degrees IRL so it can control the gun and the missiles. currently in game, it is locked to the gun at -5/+59 degrees. the missiles did finally get their +85 degrees elevation sometime ago, but that can only be obtained while in third person, and since the gunner optic can't see that high, you can't lock onto any aircraft as the gunner optic includes the IR tracker. i have not touched the ADATS in months cause the LAV-AD is simply better.

    It being the same BR as the Pantsir and costing more to spawn is kind of a joke
  • they talk like its sso good in game yet it cant live up to 11.7 , has a higher br , and you cant even use it to complete your anti air vehicle tasks
  • @epicbluepixel
    Range is too short bro. 😒 you said 25km in the video. Please let us have at least 15km of range…
  • @prex2000
    Too bad this shits the second worst top tier SPAA lmao
  • @aidenleary670
    Dear snail why do you make me the most unluckiest man alive with losing matches all the time
  • @Kamil666O6
    It could track 10 targets at once, not 8.
  • @Papadimitry
    "effective spaa system" lmao warthunder delusional as always
  • @saltysteel3996
    It's primary roll is Anti-Air. It should be designed as an SPAA and receive SPAA Spawn Points. It's secondary roll is anti-tank for self protection.
  • This thing should not be 11.7. The SP cost needs to be reduced because you cannot use it when you need it to counter CAS.
