issues dealing with AeroSentry SPAAG

[cirkit76]

I'm having issues reliably dealing with the AeroSentry SPAAGs.

The only reliable ways I've found to deal with them are:
1. fly dangerously low and hope you don't get spanked by AI revoker or other ground based air defense
2. Saturation attack with over a dozen AGMs from a Darkreach, but only if there's little-to-no other GBAD nearby
3. shoot a 20kt cruise missile at another target close by, but not so close as to get shot down by the aerosentry. aerosentry is hopefully killed in the blast.

What bothers me the most is how accurate and responsive they are, despite not having radar emissions. If they had radar emissions, I think they would be more balanced. With higher AI skill, let them turn off their radar to avoid ARAD if they see one coming. At least I can jam them while I drop bombs on them.

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but a cracked-out Shilka shouldn't be harder to deal with than a R9 Stratolance complex

hand full of lynchpins and done

They can be tough, but they only have like a 3 km range I think, and lynchpins have a 7 km range, so stay behind a hill that's close enough, pop over it and fire 2-3 lynchpins, and then run away

Lynchpins are 5km (4 is best) and you probably need at least half a dozen to take one out

Hey Dmitri in the up-armed Shilka is doing his best, PALA cant afford expensive targeting computers like the BDF can

it literally is just saturate it with like 4 or 5 lynchpins and thats it

[Daedooloos]

aerosentry spaag is practically immune to missiles yes

but as others said lynchpins will take it out pretty well, the stated range is 5km but i have seen it hit reliably at longer range.

you also want to check where the spaag is aiming before you engage it takes it a second or two to turn giving you an opportunity to launch and evade. its firing range is 3km but its spotting range is MUCH higher, it uses optical guidance and doesnt appear to care much for datalink
also never try and gun it

I've never used lynchpins before because I thought they were dumbfire

Now that I've used them, ya they work pretty well lol
