I think the question here is why we are attempting to get a radar lock on a "big flying brick" only 100/200 meters away?

Most of these SPAAG's are pushing velocities close/exceeding 1000m/s. Forget the radar, point and click!

Dude just look for the 2 suns flashing from the guns, they're so much easier to spot than tracers and missiles imo.

I think we have all seen people make questionable choices with vehicles when they don't fully understand either the limitations of the vehicle, or don't understand what it really excels at.

I'll be honest, I've never personally ran into the radar issues described. No more radar issues than I've experienced with gepard/similar platforms, anyways.

Stock? OK, it's not an opwagon. Still, plenty of people heli-rush that you should be able to pick up kills pretty readily even without proxy HE.
Upgraded HE? Pretty much any light vehicle is done for. Aim carefully.
Proxy HE? I've found it to be lethal inside of 3km, and good out to ~4km as long as it's a semi-stationary helicopter. Most won't have any idea they are being radar locked, and they won't see the proxy HE incoming.

The M247 is probably the enemy SPAA that I want to see the least. The early MANPADS and most gun-based systems are pretty easy to see and avoid. You can't "see" the M247 shoot at you, good luck evading something you can't see.

On March 15th, 1848, an uprising broke out in Pest against the Austrian Empire, which at the time ruled the Kingdom of Hungary. The uprising was bloodless and achieved concessions from the Emperor, who agreed to all of the Hungarian demands, granting them freedom of the press, civil rights and greater autonomy. The anniversary of this event is celebrated to this day as one of Hungary’s main national holidays.

I remember reading a recent news article of them saying "we know about it, we fix it" I just don't remember if they claimed they fixed it, are fixing it, will fix it in near future, or just tell players to stfu and die if they dont want to suffer from it, typical gjn

This bug has plagued the game for a long time now. Essentially, if you play...
