You guys keep adding new and sophisticated AAA and SAM units but you haven’t included the ordnances to counter them? From cluster bombs, to ARM and HARM missiles( AGM-88 HARM, AGM-88 HARM, PGMs like the AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon, AGM-84 SLAM-ER, AGM-158 Joint Air To Surface Stand Off Missile). How about ECM pods? The AAA and SAM vehicles have the advantage especially when there are more than 1 of them deployed. Its hard to use any of the in game PGM’s if a pilot cant at least neutralize the threat even for a few moments(like using a ECM pod or making a player have to decide to turn off his radar because he has a potential lock on by a ARM or HARM missile) Would like some honest feedback. Good hunting!

It’s been three days
A bit of balance has finally been restored, there’s no need to immediately rush to put cas on top again.

A great way to defeat a lot of SPAA is to slightly maneuver whatsoever, try it sometime

Huh? Pantsir was added like 2 years ago and since then…? Planes went from mig29/f16 to typhoon, rafale and strike eagle without any new spaa.

I’ve had little to no issue w/ the new AA Systems. You can already launch GPS bombs from considerable distances and pull away, or peak your head out of a hill to find the AA, duck back behind it after it fires and then mow them down with your aircraft’s cannon. These new systems suck in close range, and that’ll be their weakness. CAS still have the advantage on many maps due to terrain and being able to slip in and out of their radar whenever they want. And if you’re struggling with the high alt spawn, spawn on the airfield. CAS is not weak right not, its just not as easy as it was before. You can still fly relatively close to the battlefield, use player spots or squad markers to launch a Maverick and duck behind cover before being struck by SPAA.

Proximity based munitions being bugged, or dying servers, seem to also help avoid SPAA
SPAAs and ground units as a whole have advantage for the first time in a long time, not even dominance, only advantage and people are already making such threads, lmao.
i think that once Patriot/S-400 systems get added, CAS players will likely ask for ICBMs with MIRV warheads to counter them.

Even then, you can find success already avoiding these new missiles with terrain. I’ve been able to hunt down two SLAMRAAMs in the XF-2A ADTW by teasing missiles out of them. Not to mention they’re limited in area since most maps have limited safe havens near spawns.

Fixed wing aircraft can wait a bit at least the ones that already employ some kind of FnF e.g KH-38MT, AGM-65 etc. Rotary wing on the other hand would need some fnf to counter the new threats, yea.
Agree, although it is realistic to get bombed by aircraft when you are in a tank or to get rifled by aircraft when you are in a spaa. That’s why we have a name for these sorts of missions, SEAD and DEAD
Very little call to give CAS more advantages at this point.
We need to make SPAA/AA fire way more dangerous before we consider giving CAS dedicated anti SPAA/AA systems because they’re still currently disadvantaged.

Just spawn a Tank bro, use it to take out the SPAA, then spawn a plane. Easy.

Yup, player’s will just have to learn new tactics and start exploring different methods of engagements instead of venting about it.
There are already ways to defeat them. Use the methods already present.
