Yup. it is funny that a NATO APC (Luchs) can give better AAA than any dedicated Pact AAA

Wouldn't go that far, a 15p wiesel challenges the Shilka in use already.

AFAIK Shilka can even engage jets with some success. I would assume any heli within range would be toast in a couple seconds. Also, the effectiveness of its autocannons vs inf is pretty low IMO.

Best wishes,
Daniel.

How do all the Shilka/Byriusa compare to the Vulcan/Pivads variants?

Vulcans have more rof and usually slightly higher accuracy while Shilkas do more damage, but how much? Which ones have higher DPS? Has anybody tested it?

It would feel very wrong to give it as much range as the Vulcan has if it's actually more powerful per time.

However I'm not saying I don't want a range buff. Yet again, I don't think this is a unit specific issue. I think that all AAA should get a 200-500 m range buff and SAMS be nerfed so that people are forced to combine them. As things sit now, 2x Tunguska and I'm safe. 2x BUK and I can pwn everything.

Why doesnt the shika have at least the same range as the vulcan or get btter accuracy? By making it marginally more useful it be more common.

It's the accuracy/damage that's the problem with the shilka.

I've had 3 afghanskis around a command truck in a forest, 3 gazelles took out the command truck (don't have a replay sadly). Would that have happened had they been Vulcans? I doubt it, the vulcan is a lot better. Shilkas should rip up lightly armoured helis like the gazelle. But they don't.

Maybe my experience was just bad luck, I dunno.


I would assume luck. There are times i have taken out armoured commands with Mi-24A from a forest defended with lots of stinger inf and APCs. The most amazing thing was that the Mi-24A shot an ATGM and it hit the command!

Why does it say 1925m here? Was Shilka nerfed at some point?

Apparently so... heh, actually 1925m range sounds good... might work.
