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?

Oh Man! that's cool
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!
All answers (2)WiseYeHunter, In reality this system sucked ass and we never bought it. But it will be fun in game.
IKR? now imagine if they added the Abrams AGDS
Alx941126, I genuinely didn't know this was a thing, and now I am terrified for finding out.
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
OTOMATIC is an inefficient SPAA... sure...
lucaace6, OTOMATIC is better at destroying tanks than jets(and some helis). If the enemy team has few Mi-24's sitting at 4km good luck hitting them before they rip you a new bumhole onto your forehead...
If we don't get the Leclerc this patch tell us early, last patch you waited far too long to just tell us in the comments that the French were not getting the Leclerc
Now what is the sense to fly with the helicopters in the mix battles?
being alive for like 10 seconds max, since there is always some Tunguskas up.
Hopefully a proper British supersonic jet and British missile AA this patch to :)
EE Lightning could be added right now...it wouldnt even be unbalanced.
III_Nick_III, It might not be balanced in armament etc but it will out climb and out speed everything. Get upto mach 1.6 on the deck and it can zoom climb upto 50000ft in a minute nothing will catch it. But yeah I want it in game.
We can only hope
Xanthropod, Indeed, just did some digging on starstreak thales themself have documents up for download on it. Can get target lock on fighters 18km away and its laser beam riding system cannot be defeated by any countermeasures. Travels at mach 4. We British need this in the tree now.
Glad to see the Tunguska wasn't enough. Now we need more unbalanced SAMs instead of adding things that can easily be balanced. What's next? A bloody Starstreak?
War is unbalanced
All answers (1)Fungusar_DK, exept 1950s jets didnt fight 1980s aaa
Well if everyone is getting missle AA j want my star streak for the brits
