this is one of the most trivial to disprove theories ever

So you would have no issue with player controlled SPAA being added to the air gamemode, right? I mean surely this wouldn’t cause any issues since SPAA isn’t that good against planes… Which would mean they aren’t that good in ground… Hm…
As long as both team have an equal amount of SPAA and planes, I don’t see what the issue is.
its expected you wouldnt be able see what the issue is in a gamebreaking game change that exactly 0% of the playerbase would want or like.
thats the mentality you need to defend CAS

You do realize that the bigger map size means everyone would be able to just ignore the SPAA if they want, right?
just play murica:
- you dont need to worry about planes
- you doont need to research spaa’s
So why should planes be able to be in a gamemode with such small maps?
Because the small maps make it harder to avoid SPAA. If SPAA were in ARB, everyone would have the option to ignore them cause the battlefield is hundreds of miles across, but in GRB, the battlefield is only 1 or 2 miles across.
Aircraft in ground forces just ruin the game tbh. Nothing worse than having stuff like Yak 9’s running around deleting half the team because the dev’s thought it would be a great idea to give it APHE ammo…
Honestly yet again the devs do something dumb and very questionable.

Except you forget none of this made these vehicles any less playable besides lowering or increasing the amount of dopamine you get from it lol. When that aspect changes they care a lot, e.g. NVD modification gets removed everyone gets immediately compensated for it even though it’s a tiny tiny loss.
This game has a shit ton of reports on everything all the time all day long, on top of people spamming dumb reports, drama over someone’s countries favorite tank not being as good as they think or whatever. The laundry list for Gaijin is a incredibly long if you care enough to read the bug reports.
Also not increasing playerbase…it’s been at it’s highest ever for the past like 2 or 3 years lol and thinking a singular issue like CAS is going to make it’s playerbase rise or fall is pretty naive considering the scale of the game. This thread does not represent the rest of the playerbase unsurprisingly.
I’ve just started playing top tier ground and I keep getting thunderstruck out of nowhere by choppers early in the match. Is this normal o.0 ?

Peak for 2-3 years? What are u talning about?
Since they started to do ads the playerbase increqsed from 30k to over 100k, then corona came into play and made it increase more.
The ads + corona is what made the playerbase bigger.
But tha game loses as many players per month as it gains now and this is the very first year in wt history that the playerbade has NOT increased. Even before ads it was increasing slowly.
If they would stop ads today we would likely see a drop in playerbade of tens of thousands, as ads are only for hight tier modern combat, but exakly there is the main issue of the game and excakly these people that habe interwst in that is likely exakly the playerbase that also leaves very quick again.
They have to do smt if they dont want to lose even more players, whatever that will be. And from what i hear left and right… a tank obly mode will be somethink ten of thousands are looking for, old, retired and active players.
Ofc it would make the sellouts different, but what do i care about how they and if they make a 250% margin or just 150%… or if they even need to change the monetising method, away from gambling and purposely frustrating and p2w.
And i want them to change, as right now the game is really… simply less interesting then it was 8years ago.
It turned from being a game that u actually had to play to a more and more alternative to tv, judt getting rif of some time, while no need to use the brain. A second monitor potcast game…

Well, shooting at ground vehicles in ARB is boring as hell, there’s no minimal challenge and I mean that, you all say that SPAAs are bad, and they are, however they do put some minimal pressure to the CAS main, however, in ARB it’s boring as hell. In my opinion, they should add a mode similar to the SEAD we’ve had these days (no tags for enemies, and no drones scouting the entire map) hit indicators would obviously have to be removed from everywhere but well. Maybe this way it would get balanced, either way I stand on my point from ages ago, limit the number of planes in the air and since the new addition, why not limit the loadout of the planes to just one sortie?

Boring as hell or just not enough verhicles because I know they aren’t enough verhicles in ARB and you can destroy all the verhicles in 5 -10 min depend the br you are playing. No verhicle respawn and the next battles is real air battles not like in GRB when you get verhicles respawn and limited spaa and no fighter shooting you down in ARB.
Another fallacy. This thread is a representation of players who are willing to voice their displeasure or pleasure when it comes to CAS.
If you are going to make an assertion such as this then you should be able to back it up with numbers that are an accurate reflection of the entire player base, not just the base that shares your view.
Now, is this thread one that confirms the biases of others who do not like CAS in GAB (which I play) or GRB? Yes, it is.
Yet if we take our “facts” in the same manner that you do, one could assert that it is an accurate reflection of the percentage of players who do not like CAS, right?
Gaigin could, indeed, make A TO-Only game mode which would not lessen the player base and quite possibly be able to bring back those who have quit out of frustration.
Honestly, I have thought about giving it up due to many times where I have had a strong position, perhaps holding a flank, and have had those who cannot break through take to a plane and take that position away from me.
IMO, we should have choices and if one wants to break a position by strapping on a plane then give them a game mode to do so, but allow for a game mode where players actually have to work just a bit harder to break that superior position.

What they said was correct, and whilst what you said has a basis, it’s not just those who want to voice ‘displeasure’ about the planes the same as you.
ARB CAS being boring (and also lacking PvP interaction) is a major reason, but something else I don’t see a lot of ppl talking about with CAS, is that gaining thousands of SP would be completely meaningless without it.

sorry for so much swearing btw
That’s true, it’d make it useless unless you had enough tanks to spend them all.
