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?

Still no M1 AGDS :(
Thats is NOT A REAL THING.
Hail_the_Snail, but it is
Any new British ground vehicles coming are is challenger 2 getting its addion armour package ?
Hey, are you guys planning to add chaff or any other countermeasures? The recent addition of SAMs is kind of OP. Also, do you have plans to add the F-14 Tomcat? The only reason not to add it would be legal. It is older than the T-2, after all. Also, you spelled sights wrong.
F8 Crusader is coming so thats it for that for now UK something maybe someday ?
I hope that the Germans would get the Tornado or the Starfighter for the Germans and Americans
LoL, if the USA forces where already OP with this shit are going to be unbearable, thanks Gaijin for keep ruining the game :D
the us being op is just as much of a myth as russian bias i do okay but i am not op my matchs won are around 50 50 and your right how dare they balance the game by giving both sides = aaa
they were OP last patch. now it's the germans
This is the Missile Specification from Wikipedia Now both side have decent anti air, Bye bye CAS, especially those ATGM Helicopter. Your Bullying days are over. Missile Length: 2.05 m Diameter: 152 mm Launch weight: approx. 51 kg Speed: Mach 3+ Range: 10 km Ceiling: 7,000 m Warhead: 12.5 kg high explosive (HE) fragmentation/shaped charge, impact and proximity fuze Penetration: 900 mm rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) Guidance: Digitally coded laser beam-riding
This update is getting my attention more and more...
I really like the pros and cons listing. For the vehicle itself, however, I am concerned about furthering the rock-paper-scissors gameplay. Doesn't really feel good when you can only spawn in one vehicle once or twice per battle, making deaths in them very frustrating.
While the concerns are real, and the helicopters were horrendous and this is just countering horrendous with absolutely non thought out HORRIBLE... I just wanna say that I will call this thing an AT-AT
Alright, I like the idea, but please, add more vehicles that players can actually get, I want more WW2 era vehicles, NOT more vehicles from the '80s '90s ect.
yup so now both OP spaa's will fight together alongside the best Heli's in the game....rip
