I completely agree with the fact that American AA sucks. The only good AA is in the armored brigade which is my least favorite. I've made a short summary for any1 interested Russki AA: vdv: none Guard tank brigade: -s300 -tor-M1 Coastal troops: -s350 -tor-M2 -Biryusa US AA: Airborne: -slamraam avenger Armored brigade: Patriot Pivads USMC: Lav-AD There are 4 types of AA defense -Anti plane -Anti helicopter -Anti cruise missile -Anti ballistic missile As far as i can tell in my observations from playing the game -Anti ballistic missile = Patriot + S300. im not 100% sure if i've seen s350's intercept ballistic missiles. Pivads and biryusa's target ballistic as well but aren't amazing in taking them out, but they can -Anti plane = All of em -Anti helicopter = Everything except the s300 + s350 + patriot + slamraam (unless equipped with 2x aim-9) -Anti cruise missile = Tor-M1 + Tor-M2 + slamraam + pivads + biryusa Now for radar, according to the broken arrow pdf its explained as the following: Activating you're radar increases detection and firing range by 50% for high altitude firing and 25% for low altitude firing Radar active means you can be targeten by SEAD missiles PS. When you lost your Su-57 at about 14:30, that was due to flying over enemy AA with its radar turned off, not manpads. I suggest keeping planes way more back for SEAD cover. those missiles have 8000m range
