Fade2Gray Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I'm not going to focus on stuff like inter faction balance or whatever at the moment, as I'm still getting a feel for things, but right now there is one obvious bit on the Russian/Ukrainian side of things. As it is currently, the Tunguska is only 21 points more than the Strela. Comparing the Tung to the Strela, I can't fathom any reason why I would even want the Strela over the Tung. The Tung is amazingly multipurpose. It shreds infantry, light vehicles, and can even mulch buildings in 2 or 3 volleys. I've seen them do numbers on M1s during ambushes as well, causing amazing amounts of system damage and leaving them without many of them advantages against enemy tanks. They can also take down any and all aircraft and UAVs. Between the group of guys I game with, we've all come to think that the Tung is an obvious buy over the Strela. In comparison, the Strela is a bit easier to hide. That is its only advantage. It can't attack ground targets, and it can't even attack as much air as the Tung can. With this, I would like to suggest the Tunguska either getting a points increase, or making the Strela cost less points.

whitehot78 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 what about rarity? I am not aware of the difference between the two systems 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fade2Gray Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Ah, totally forgot about that. The Strela also costs 375 rarity, and the Tunguska does not cost any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krasnoarmeyets Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) 2K22 'Tunguska' was intended as a replacement for ZSU-23-4 'Shilka' SPAAG, with the primary weapon feature being the more powerful 30mm cannons over the older 23mm ones. The SAM engagement capability is secondary to the vehicle's concept. 2K22 were intended to be used together with 9K35 'Strela-10' (a dedicated SP SAM system) in the regimental / brigade anti-air missile-artillery squadrons, and they still are. A replacement for 9K35 is in development ('Sosna'), but in the meantime it remains in service and will recieve an upgrade (which will bring it to 'Strela-10M4' version).

Vanir Ausf B Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Strela-10 does have more missiles (12 vs 8), better off-road performance and speed. But I agree that the Tunguska's ground attack ability makes it a no-brainer at it's current price. I will suggest an increase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
