Description

  • Available as a general upgrade at Rank 3 from the Tank Supplystation.
  • Uses missiles unlike the ZSU-23-4 Shilka.
  • Can shoot at all types of aircraft and destroys aircraft with one or 2 missiles.
  • Cannot engage any type of ground targets.
  • Has a long range but a low view sight.
  • Needs to be deployed to fire.
  • Has a 10 second delay during deploying and undeploying.

Usage

  • You should always bring one along in your assaults to defend yourself against helicopters and jets.
  • It can take down helicopters easily if you spot them early.
  • They are helpless against tanks, so don't put them against them.
  • Use the URAL Radar to utilize its long range by revealing incoming enemy aircraft early.

Against Aircraft

Can shoot all helicopters down with one missile. Jets are a different story as they can dodge the missiles or deviate them sometimes, but most of them get shot down with one missile that hits.

How to defend against

  • Anti-Tank missiles can take it out with one or two hits.
  • Anti-Tank Soldier is good for the job, as it can't engage infantry.
  • Tanks are ideal for destroying SA-11s.
  • Helicopters armed with long range missiles can take them, but it is dangerous to use them.
  • The F-4G Wild Weasel can destroy it very easily.
  • The EF-111 Raven can disable it.
  • Base defenses and garrisoned structures are a good defense against SA-11s.
