One guided missile to demolish tanks and aircraft alike? You got it! War Thunder is on the cusp of featuring an air defence anti-tank system based on the Bradley IFV chassis.
The ADATS was developed at the end of the 1980’s as a general-purpose weapon capable of bringing down low-flying airborne targets as well as armoured opponents. Hence the abbreviation: Air Defence Anti-Tank System. The system was comprised of radar for detecting and tracking targets, a complex radio kit for coordinating multiple vehicles, and eight MIM-146 guided missiles in transport and launch containers. The US Army version was built on the Bradley IFV chassis and fitted with a 25mm auto cannon. Notwithstanding the fact that it was selected after a US Army competition for the Forward Area Air-Defence program, it was found to be excessively expensive to manufacture and never made it to serial production on the Bradley chassis.
ADATS (Bradley). Air defence anti-tank SPG system, USA, rank VII.
Pros
- One missile for any target!
- Radar
- Cannon capable of handling IFVs and anti-aircraft vehicles
Cons
- Poorly armoured
- Fairly prominent profile
In War Thunder the ADATS Bradley will appear in update 1.89 at the rank VII of the USA ground vehicle tech tree. It’s average in terms of speed and manoeuvrability, its armour only stands up to bullets, and the hulking ADATS dimensions make it fairly conspicuous, especially when the radar antenna is active...
But who cares about that when you have your hands on the controls of a weapon capable of knocking out anything that crosses your sites? Eight all-purpose guided missiles with radio fuses will find their way to the sneakiest chopper in the sky, chase down fleeing aircraft, and even torch tanks – they penetrate up to the equivalent of 900mm of rolled homogeneous steel.
And the rhythmic chatter of the 25mm autocannon will be the last thing enemy anti-aircraft vehicles and IFVs hear thanks to the APCR shells that come even with the stock belt. Fantastic! Sure, the rate of fire leaves something to be desired, but having that cannon sure comes in handy when you really need it.
The ADATS Bradley is a worthy answer to the Tunguska when it comes to War Thunder’s fields of battle. One missile for any target is an unusual and promising solution. So, shall we see what happens with update 1.89 and put this vehicle through its paces in some higher-ranked battles?

Did you not learn anything from the travesty that the Tunguska was? A single one of these can dominate the ENTIRE airspace, sniping helicopters and aircraft IN THEIR SPAWN many kilometres away. You're adding SAM systems from the 1980's and 1990's to combat 1950's jets with NO electronic warfare suite (RWR) or countermeasures (not that they would be useful as these are optically guided missiles). Not only that but vehicles like the Tunguska are easily killing MBT's with missiles. IT IS BROKEN.
What is broken can be fixed
tbh cas deserves to be abused by SPAA's especially heli's
Oh look, a vehicle that is going to compress the Meta even more!
Thats called evolution
Fungusar_DK, It's called bad game design
this made me emit an involuntary noise of high decibels
i love this comment
comment of the year
Nice but how about that sale?
Asking the right questions m8!
Follow the news ;)
Still no P-47 Razorback :(
Fans of aviation will have a many cool things to look forward too this update.
Smin1080p, all i want is a p-47 razorback and a b-26 aircraft you said you would add but never added :[
Jets are still waiting anti-radar missiles and countermeasures... We want to survive more that 5 seconds after we spawned you know.
You can last 20-30 seconds easily... If you spawn on the runway )))
You can't counter optic tracking with countermeasures, dude. And as soon as anti-radar missiles show up people will just switch off radar and just use said optical-guided missiles without the radar. It's easy enough.
This is getting out of hand. We need anti radiation missiles for planes.
Nope its not Wink wink lol. All they are missing is Fat Man in the game and no pe 8 bomb is nothing so dont compair XD.
Oh Man! that's cool
IKR? now imagine if they added the Abrams AGDS
I know, I've wanted this in the game since I saw the tunguska was being added into the game. Mach 3 missiles that deal with tanks and aircraft. Amazing!
the concept of CAS has now officially been deleted.
ongly for BR10.0 ... better then Heli / jet terror .
Blaxx, and only if Soviets and US are on different Teams, which is not happening in 50% of the Matches. In this Case the US + Soviet CAS can do whatever they want....
So the two nations with the most OP helicopters, who can also play alongside each other, each get a SAM system (which can also nuke tanks, no problem) to further cement their air superiority. Meanwhile nations with a weak or no helicopter presence still sit there and stare at utterly insufficient SPAAs. Amazingly done, Gaijin! /s. . You've learned NOTHING out of the desaster that is the tunguska, did you? A single vehicle that can clear the entire airspace for your team. And you repeat that crap
Oh you prefer ongly 1 nation has a SAM . You learn also nothing from the Tunguska desaster.
Blaxx, no we just don't want gaijin to give everything new just to the US ansd USSR...again
