Protecting the Skies: Best Cold War SPAA

Published 2024-05-08
The Cold War era was a breakthrough time for anti-aircraft warfare. AA weapon systems started utilizing radars and other sophisticated gadgets to become even more effective at hunting down aircraft. In War Thunder, SPAA vehicles of the era are mainly found at mid to high ranks of the Ground Forces tech tree; their main responsibility is to keep the sky clean of subsonic and early supersonic aircraft. Today we’re going to talk about the most interesting of the bunch.

Subtitles are available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese.

    Your guys can't just nerf every SPAA that could do something against CAS and then release a video called protecting the sky's, like wtf.

    RIP VEAK, you will be sorely missed. Kinda wish I could get my GE back for the talisman on it honestly, first it was put to rank 5 making it useless to grind with (swapped places with the leo 2 marksman), then it had its fuze rounds removed.. I was using that thing at 10.3 gaijin, since the other options are awful in comparison. Why would I want a fast turret that can aim up on an AA, right? .-.

    If you are going to remove the VEAK's proxy fuze at least add the ACTUAL finnish ZSU-57, the ZSU-57-2M that used proxy fuze ammo. Add the T-55 Marksman which is the other ItPsV 90, put it at 8.7 and move the ItPsV 90 Leo 2 to 9.0+

    Biggest downgrade was the VEAK 40, like come on man not all vehicles in warthunder has history accurate rounds the poor thing got massacred.
  • @tagnoch
    Sad VEAK noises. (no HEVT)
  • @alex190alex
    looks to me like they used proxy shells with the VEAK 40 here at 0:53
  • VEAK should get its proxy rounds back even if the br is pushed up because it is arguably the most usable aa for sweden until 10.0
  • @alex190alex
    Please bring the proxy shell back to the VEAK
  • @niczzen
    The veak was the best spaa in his br, but they took away his best ammunition and now he became one of the worst. Taking away his grace was not the way to nerf him. Besides, it is still a spaa that is quite easy to destroy and does not have too much ammunition, so every shot counts.
  • @paleo1825
    Bring back VEAK 40 proxy. and then put it at a higher br like 9.3 or 9.7, originally it was 8.7
  • @cyber2526
    they say after murdering the veak >:(
