Cas needs a major nerf the amount of time ive had amazing games just to be ruined by a revenge bomber or anyone in a plane or helicopter is actually insane. I’ve even lost games just because someone got a kill and an assist. The spawn point needs to be atleast doubled for only ground ordances and the same for air-to-air. That especially goes for top tier as the planes can go higher and faster as well have longer ranged equipment. Yes there is SPAA but i only see a couple people bring one let alone play it.

Dying by revenge bombing is a canon event for any War Thunder players that destroys a random M24 in the match.
To be honest Gaijin is already handling close air support capabilities in ground battles, we can see as the bad reception by said players regarding the airfield spawn in bad weather.
Gaijin is slowly but surely moving torwards the good path regarding the “CAS is broken” subject. However, hopefully in the future we have changes that pleases both parties.

Meanwhile. Im left wondering when top tier CAS is going to get some buffs. To at least equalize the differences between nations. Only 2 nations really have a viable AGM at the moment and 5 nations dont really have viable top tier CAS.
Even worse when you look below 12.7/13.0 CAS and instead look at 11.0-12.0 CAS. None of it is really viable, espcially helis without FnF
Ironic considering 3 of your top 5 most played vehicles are CAS… But hey, you could try the tried and true method of not sitting in one spot thinking it will be an RP honeypot… Those who run, are the enemy… those who sit still, are well trained enemy
Getting rid of airstrike, removing scouting/hit markers from plane UI, and having a grace period at the start of the match where you can’t spawn air (3 minutes or so) would help a lot. Still its always gonna be lame to die to CAS, the only thing you can do about it is spawn a plane yourself or play some of the more powerful SPAA like IRIST.
Would also be nice if they added some kind of UI element on the minimap that just told you if an enemy plane/heli/drone was up.
