Yes.
But the thing i am talking about applies to both mode.
There is nothing wrong with what you are posting, you are talking about CAS in AB in the Arcade section, even if it applies to RB, but not the other guy who’s replying about BT5s rushing caps to spawn Pe-8s…

People ask for tank only Realistic Battles already.
This is a compromise that retains GRB’s playerbase but provides a game mode for people that are die hard about wanting tank only.
This is truly a win win situation. The only people that would be upset are those who play Arcade Ground Battles to grind their CAS which is zero players because Arcade Ground Battles doesn’t use your own planes. If Gaijin want’s to implement a system to allow your own planes as the air “reward” in the game mode then there could be an argument made.
As it stands the air component of Ground Arcade Battles is pointless and arbitrary, as such it can easily be removed.

Can’t agree. If AB really have changed,what about those SPAAs? The SPAAs will become useless.
And one day you will see 4 M4A3E2 or T95 even KV-220 (or sth other Op tanks like them)keep smashing your team until the match ends.We can’t let this happen.
I play Arcade Ground Battles and I don’t want Gaijin to remove CAS from this mode, I want them to improve the mechanic and bring some balance against tanks(yes, I’m a very optimistic person). I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this way.
Arbitrary, yes, and that is part of what is wrong with it but it is not pointless. SPAAs need targets to kill and the whole CAS mechanic also brings something different to the tank mode, the problem is as in many things in this game Gaijin simply doesn’t know how to balance things.
Start by removing tank type from markers while using aircraft, always spawn enemy aircraft facing each other and no spawning from behind enemy spawn, smaller payloads and no heavy bombers like B-29, etc…
They can kill in Ground Realistic Battles where there is CAS.
Not all players play, enjoy or even want to play Realistic Battles. I’m sorry but that is not an reasonable option or alternative to use SPAAs.

If you don’t want to play Realistic Battles then don’t?
By the same logic(yours), if you don’t want to deal with CAS then don’t play Ground Arcade Battles?

That’s my point lol
Ground Arcade Battles should be tank only, the CAS in the game mode is irrelevant.
If it was irrelevant like you say, then there wouldn’t be hundreds of threads like this asking for a tank only mode or complaining about it. When you take a single bomber and kill half the enemy team in a couple of seconds that’s anything but irrelevant.
People play Realistic Battles, people complain about CAS in Realistic Battles. No one plays Arcade intentionally unless they’re new to the game. This change would bring value to an otherwise pointless game mode.
Until you try it and get wrecked like the very experienced RB players and official WT streamer when he decided to try a couple of AB matches in the official WT stream, probably met some new players…
It’s so pointless that RB players come here to give their opinion about the “pointless” game mode.
Please keep your RB opinions and elitism to the RB section. No one cares about them here.

Yes “new to the game”.
Yes because RB players want a tank only game mode and the complaint that always arises is it will split the playerbase too much so why not take the already existing basically tank only game mode and make it legitimately tank only so we can show this to people asking for tank only.
SPAA can go to play RB, strong tanks can increase weights, is there any difficulty point in this！
Luckily u r not a developer.Otherwise this game will be f***ed up in your hands.You are trying to sacrifice the other players who dont like RB modes to satisfy yourself,just because you cannot handle those CAS planes.Why not practice your skills and use SPAA to shoot those planes down?

Vamilad has made it clear he does not understand the majority of tank players play arcade. Yet he wishes to dump his problems on the “other”, more frequented mode.
A bit like: I have a british car, let us change traffic layout in this nation so I and a few other snobs can use their british vehicles trouble free. Driving right side is for noobs anyway.

Same old story:
People come to a game
They don’t like it
They want their own version
Go find something else. Your failure to commit like true War Thunder players (aka CASvocates, as opposed to whiners who are not intelligent enough to work out the game in the first week) is a huge part of why modes are poor, the “I want my own game not the one on offer”.
There is no combined in Air as it would be BORING and completely pointless. What role could you even fill? You can get bomb dropped from 5k as you will be visible to all and most tiers SPAA will never get close or even get a target. By all means ask Gaijin. No one has because the “argument” is silly.
If you don’t like a game stop playing it rather thsn ruining it for those that want to play WT.
Where is my unicorn mode? Where is my flying cheeseburger mode? Why can’t I have a strategy turn based mode? Where is my text/typing version?
Game is the game, they hopefully will not cater to all the simps who are not able to play WT for what it is (seriously, would yoj cater to players who after 1000s of battles didn’t work out how it plays!?).
Game gets dumber every year it seems.

There’s nothing wrong in asking for a TO mode, considering there’s AO mode running for years. Ground branch is big enough to sustain itself, without any third-party interference.
People want equal treatment between modes for obvious reasons. So please tell me:
- why is the Air branch only branch with a standalone mode ?
- why does ARB has the same (x1) multiplier on crew points as GRB, whereas one mode is single-spawn and other is multi-spawn ?
- why does Air have much better RP gains than Ground, where being close to useless in Air will grant you same amount of RP as a really nice match in Ground ?
Good old “stop playing/play something else” argument.
Let’s just delete the BR system and let top tier vehicles roam around in same lobbies as 1.0 ones, if you don’t like it just stop playing it bro.
Using this in the same post where you call others to be not intelligent enough is peak irony.
If TO is an unicorn mode, AO is too as well.
Also, comparing those things with a TO mode is completely ludicrous.
You fail to realize the game would get better if TO was added, since people who aren’t interested in aircraft would jump ship to TO, leaving current GRB to be played by people that want to engage aircraft and have the means to do so, thus making both modes more enjoyable.
But I guess, good job going against a change that will make the game less dumb for everyone.

World of Tanks is only tanks VS tanks. Is it a bad game? Are there fewer players?
You say that you like to play SPAA and planes, but don’t like to play RB, this is very unreasonable, this is your heart?
I like to play Tank AB, my SPAA skills are better than yours, my arcade win rate is better than yours, I just don’t like to play planes in AB, it is unbalanced in AB and not competitive.
I also like to play Air Combat RB, not Air Combat AB, because Air combat AB is too abstract, and the revenue is low.
In Tank AB, my 72AV played 1700+, 56% win rate, KDA3+, I want to stop talking about improving skills, I just want to play tank VS tank in battle.
