Matsozetex 89 Report post Posted July 29, 2017 The Praetorian currently doesn't serve the purpose of base aa as well as it should, I suggest one of two things to happen: 1. Remove the trees surrounding the HESCO barriers near the base AA, for a gun that requires the largest field of fire possible to work to its best ability having trees around it makes no sense. 2. Give back the Cheetah, the cheetah serves as a better anti air gun than the praetorian (An anti-projectile cannon). The praetorian gives us a gatling 30mm which can barely track targets or hit them, while the cheetah uses its missile and fast firing twin autocannons to dispatch enemy aircraft with ease.

Fitz 1239 Report post Posted July 29, 2017 The Cheetah had it's missiles disabled when it was used, so it was just the guns. I think the guns on it fire slower than the Praetorian, but I don't know for sure without testing it. Unlike in real life, the Praetorian isn't an anti-projectile cannon as you can't shoot projectiles down in Arma 3, as far as I know. It's intended for the new jets. Something does need to be done about the trees though, either moving the AA altogether or removing the trees or both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about 2 Praetorian locations, one at the 22 end of the median strip between the runways and one at the 04 end. Then they are in open terrain and most effective and they are protecting servicing/taxiing aircraft. Priority for AA shouldn't be the infantry or vehicles, but the grounded aircraft. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried this with Brid this afternoon, seemed a bit too OP. Although it looked very cool I've moved the Praetorian to the centre of the runway for now. See how that goes.
