Most players who cry about CAS do not carry CAP and CAS, but only SPAA. However, SPAA cannot OP and quickly process CAS. What can truly quickly process CAS is CAP, and the SP required for CAP is almost half less than that of CAS!

Yeah. I ususally carry 1 CAS/multipurpose plane and 1 dedicated fighter in a lineup.

My Chinese queue likes to carry one CAS and one CAP that can use rockets or bombs for ground support, as well as a helicopter. My CAP or HELI often shot down enemy CAS and CAP or HELI, and sometimes even my CAS would choose to discard the mount and prioritize dealing with enemy CAS. In most cases, they are really much more effective than SPAA.
The issue there is that fighters by themselves don’t have anything to do unless there is a somewhat constant stream of CAS aircraft being spawned. So very few players have a reason to bring out their fighters unless the enemy has something in the air.

I’ve thought about this for years now but why not just allow CAP aircraft to first spawn RB GF, For it would be taking a page out of SB GF with its first spawn ruleset.
But for RB it might be difficult at lower BR’s unless your were to force aircraft to only carry Air Target belts which would nullify their effects on some armour (of course soft skins & open tops remain to suffer).
But at extreme higher BR’s 9.0+ probably allow fighters & interceptors to first spawn either with cannons armament limitations like mentioned eariler or give every nation a gunless interceptors only armed with missiles, Take example a MiG-21SPS-K, MiG-21S or the Étendard IVM/Super or a Mirage IIIC/IIIE/IIICJ/ 2000D-R1 & AJ37/AJS37 (without the cannon pods) But all of these loaded up with missiles.
I think CAP should come to GF as first spawns or at least be trialled for once like they did with those recent tests on the last dev sever with the mire advance missiles or the current event that’s testing a few things.
Plus it would probably aid with a reduction of all these poxy & daft CAS threads in this blasted forum.

Currently you can bring out CAP very soon after match start.
Even with fighter first, in fact in some cases due to it, the complaints will never end.
As we all play for different reasons those who play WT for a ground only experience are in for disappointment; not enough to choose a more relevant game but just to spam forums.
If you play with the “I bested ye” mentality that comes with the idea every asset in game should be usable against all others (at their BRs) in perfect balance then disappointment and moaning on the forum (by being toxic against an average WT user because they dare play the mode Gaijin gave us) is never going to end.
the team that won the air battle???
SPAA wouldn’t magically disappear. There’s also no reason why you wouldn’t be able to take a second plane.
SPAAs are useless and the game is already decided. Spawn a second fighter just to get spawn camped…
This would kill this gamemode finally.
The To-crowd is far larger than the CAS supporters, as the main focus is on tanks in ground RB.
Every poll shows that. In the end Gajiin will nerf CAS hard its just a matter of time. Deal with it.
Where can I find the test event? A lot of searching but I cant seem to find it. Just want to read the old forum that talks about it.
Of course it failed - they made it for the wrong mode. Knowing gaijin and their test events, it likely had very bad rewards too, like the last moving frontline ground mode in RB. That one failed too, not because players didn’t like it, but because it paid basically nothing.
I play from 7.0 to 8.3 so I just shred with the spitfire mk24 or the meteor reaper and show the America pilots how its done
What CAS nerfs
There even is a topic to make AB tank only and have RB as the “combined”.
I believe people think AB players are not just as split because AB do not use the forums as much. Which is ironic when understanding GFRB is the least popular mode played (not including Naval, Sim, or PvE).
What SPAA can counter 2km guided rockets at 5.0-8.3???..
What SPAA has 2KM effective range 5.0-8.0?
Shhh, telling people that they are just bad in the game (and showing their stats) is rude and against rules!

That’s the same as what I wrote…
Yet others and yourself still do it. Shameful way to avoid debate.
