I
absolutely do see the issues here. And you're right those defensive systems should act as normal AA/SAM systems.
The following are doing so in the RL concerning smaller drones etc. like
Iron Dome, GEPHART and PANTSIR-S1/S2 are taking them out very effectively along with other systems in the real world.
Will those systems do so in the game, is something
I have no knowledge of in my
AI battle world.
Much more armor has been taken out by
precision munitions i.e. BONUS, EXCALIBUR and more with the use of observers, drones and helos lazing the targets or relaying the coordinates.
My view quite honestly at this point in time with self-defense systems already out there a many more to come soon, is that it's about a "wash" much like air superiority is over the Ukraine at this time.
Russia like Germany during the
Battle of Britain lost their opportunity by waiting too long to act and by changed tactics.
Read a book on the topic and you'd fully come to appreciate how close Germany came to defeating Britain in the air. Same can be said of the Russians before all that Western air defense systems arrived in country.
