  • In this video we play the Gepard 1A2. The Gepard gets a huge upgrade with the addition of Stinger Missiles but a pretty huge BR hike to 9.7!
    Oh, and instead of the classic intro. I hope you enjoy the bloopers from the Gepard 1A2 gameplay in War Thunder! :)

    Funny how IR MANPAD missile systems used in these sorts of SPAA and designed with ECCM and other features specifically to fight against Heli's are completely unable to lock them at a reasonable range, it's like the Helicopter grind is so ridiculously impossible that anyone who has any heli has likely paid Gaijin real money and would be upset if they couldn't club with it.

      Actually pretty realistic. The maximum effective range of most MANPADS is very short. they're not supposed to be a ground forces primary anti-air defence anymore than 30mm cannons are. they're an addon that forces nemies to engage from further out which is significantly more expensive to do and may force them to operate at higher altitudes tog et a good sensor picture which exposes them to systems like the patriot batteries, (or their other equivalents like the russian S-300 and S-400 systems).
      It's also one of the two major reasons the Sergeant York was cancelled IRl before it entered service. Existing US and Warsaw Pact aircraft, (like the SU-25 or the A-10) had a greater maximum effective rnage with their weapon systems than the rnage of the 40mm cannons it was equipped with.

      @@fire_drake12.arc.24 A-10 has drastically less armor compared to the Su-25. The Warthog itself has the titanium bathtub for the pilot whilst the rest of the aircraft generally relies on the control surfaces working in most conditions and the airframe being able to fly on one engine. The Su-25 has its own bathtub armor for the pilot AND varying levels of armor all around the fuselage (generally like 8-15mm, some areas have thinner or thicker armor). I won't deny that the Su-25 is stupid survivable, it should be able to take some hits from MANPADS but not air-to-air missiles, it used to be worse on the release day, nowadays the tail section loves to completely fall off or the plane loses a lot of control, so most eventually still fall out of the sky after a minute or two.

    A reminder for people using heaters: Once you lock on, ELEVATE your aim before firing. This prevents the missile from hitting terrain or buildings, and the missile often performs better when it arcs up and then down on the target rather than trying to fire straight at it.

      This used to drive me crazy with the RakJPz's - not SAM's but they had the same problem of hitting terrain in front of you unless you aimed up first. I got in the habit of just setting my distance to 2000m to make sure they started out aimed up some. With SAMs though, you do have the problem of losing the lock if you aim up too much.

    At one point in my life I was a platoon leader of a stinger/vulcan platoon in the 24th Infantry Division (reflagged as the 3rd ID) and I can tell you the stinger is ejected out of the tube and then the rocket motor engages. So, the stinger gunners had to, what we called, super elevate the missile after getting tone but before firing. That is something that is and is not taken into account in the game.

    Feels like shooting planes from the front into the cockpit lately has been wildly ineffective just as seen here
    Shot one of the new migs right on the nose of the aircraft as it was diving towards me, was using the Ito90 and it did practically nothing visually and took a 2nd shot to the cockpit to somehow damage the right wing but not kill it
    Took a solid minute or two before it crashed while it killed me with a quick little burst 😒

    Regarding shooting through these containers with your tank, yes you can, but only through one. You see when you were shooting the t80 there at 14:58, you tried to shoot through 2 containers (one next to you and one next to him), hence it didnt go through. You can shoot only through one of them, thats just how WT works for some reason.

    The su-25 is what players thought the a-10 was gonna be (and its supposed to be) but gaijin, Russia's World Renowned Deepthroating Champion, decided that the su-25 was more sturdy than the heart of a neutron star.

    • @notproplayer3649

      To be fair, the su25 in real life is supposed to be more heavily armored than the a10, and there is evidence in Ukraine that it has been hit multiple times by manpads and still managed to land.
      However, that's not to say that the implementation in war thunder is at all realistic or fair.

      @jasonculligan1718 yeah, I'm not denying that, but the fact that there were even a few reports of su25's coming back after getting smacked by manpads is a testament to it's durability as most other planes didn't have a single recorded instance of surviving a manpad hit (to be fair most plane weren't hit by manpads either).
      Nevertheless, it was in the conception of the su25 and a10 to be as resistant as possible while still remaining planes, that's not to say that they are flying tanks because they aren't, they are still fragile to any hit, I do very much agree that the war thunder modeling of the su25 is ridiculous. But it wouldn't be unrealistic if the su25 or the a10 might be able to tank a manpad hit from time to time depending on where the missile exploded around the plane, especially because the explosive mass is very small in manpad missiles. If it hits an engine, it'll take it out but as long as the flight controls aren't too damaged the plane will still fly.

    As an AA, this thing is miles better than the LAV that sits one bracket higher than it. It has a radar and a solid AP belt. It's even better as a tank killer with the guns.
    Only thing LAV has is that on some maps, it's faster, and can take a couple more stingers. And with their current in game performance, eh. Zunis too, but that's almost a gimmick.
    Both of these are eh, but the gepard is better and sits lower.
