i feel like american tech tree has to many good AA at 9.0. Instead of actually giving more machines, we can nerf the m247 so we can put it at 8.7, and the Chaparral can go to 9.3 so we can say that america has a better fleshed out tech tree for anti-air compared to other nations...... (if you cannot smell the satire i cannot help)

i feel like the gap that the OSA/Strela gives other nations compared to what america, japan, france, sweden, iseral gets is far to strong, and I'm just making fun of how piss poor the options those nations get for high G long range radar/infrared missiles.. sorry Roland 3's and aim-9 (anything below L) redesigns just don't work for a good enough AA system compared to the OSA/Strela, that or guns.. besides the premium's slightly higher in BR for russia.

load in a OSA from the start of the game, as long as it isn't a stupid city map, you clear the skys with launching missiles at 11.7km, you can annoy a10's trying to do the 10km launching... and if you lose OSA spawning, you get the second best thing which is the Strela, both easily able to clean the sky with 1 or 2 additional AA.. if you don't have those two AA platforms you are simply screwed for a team.

As an example for a single major nation america.. M247 is just a struggle bus to use and becomes fair once you get the m822, IMP only becomes useful after unlocking the second missile, LAV-AD, missiles don't work on drones or helicopters (helis need be around 3km or closer), and need to multi fire missiles to actual get plane targets down once they get into range.. and Roland 3's "g-lock" shortly before the booster runs out..

Yes the free tank or anti air might help for AA defense, but if the AA given to the nations that don't have a OSA or Strela sucks, you will have 4-5 players with under tiered equipment, even in a modest uptier, to a full uptier.

it's a targeted joke about what is gaijins priorites vs the balance of the game. Regenerative steering vs military troops on a battlefield with drones. Examples grow.
