If I’m going to play a plane, I’ll play a game mode that’s optimized for flying planes in (64x64 or 128x128 map size, 3 hour max match length, fun control scheme, no random A.I AAA less than 10 km from the battle area).
As for SPAA -
How do you hit a small fighter bomber like a corsair or hellcat or bearcat flying at 1.5-2.0 km altitude and occasionally rolling over to dive at some unsuspecting tank at a 60-80 degree (90 if helldiver/stuka/similar) to then pull out at a speed exceeding 600 km/h after dropping at 500-700 meter altitude?
wild how you do the same thing youre criticizing in the next paragraph.
the point of this thread is discussing how to fix “aircraft dedicated to killing CAS or ya know PLAY SPAA” not being enough to counter overpowered CAS aircraft.
i play pantsir occasionally and its not enough to counter certain CAS, and its literally the best SPAA in the game. and if i wanted to play aircraft myself, then i would go play air RB which exists unlike actual ground RB
Öhm… what if u dont want to Play Planes or SPAA, when ure just here to play Tanks in a Mode that is all about Tanks vs Tanks, Capturing Points, Scout Enemy Tanks, Use Artillery on enemy Tanks?
Oh and… u forget that to kill the CAS, you have to die first. But u dont need to die as CAS to counter my SPAA… thats one of the biggest issue with the CAS frustration in general.
People complain its OP (and it is) but if Tankers could counter them on first engagement, without the need to die, then you could argue about Skill and developing a counter tactic.
But right now (or soon) the only “tank” that can “spawn” an SPAA without dying, will be the new Radartrucks.
And with that mechanic comes a solution to CAS, that gaijin just needs to add now… give every Tank the Option to spawn SPAA (with SP cost ofc) besides it within like 10sec and being able to switch to it like u can with the new MultiSPAA systems or UAV or Atombomber or Ship launched Planes…
The mechanic exist already, it would not break the game, it would make the frustration that ure “helpless” in your tank go away, it would simply make the game more balanced, fun, skillbased and simply better.
If you don’t use all the tools given to you in a mode which is all about combined arms (and not tanks) thats a you problem.
You put yourself at a disavdantage and thats only on you.
To spawn CAS you have to die to. It’s such a stupid argument anyway. God forbid you die in a pvp game with multiple respawns.
Again, you have the tools to fight CAS, be it SPAA or a plane of your own.
If you are in a MBT you have to accept, that you most likely wont shoot down a plane. There are enough ways to make you an unattractive target.
If you don’t spawn SPAA or a plane after that, you actively chose to not do anything about it.
If dying once is such a big deal for you all, maybe play sims.
And even if your teammate did spawn SPAA and wants to help you he might not be in correct part of the map to help you or he is already fighting another plane(s).
I can’t answer on your question because it depend on the B.R. battle. I calculate playing on rank 6 -8 you need at least 4 spaa actieve to fully cover your team. Skilled spaa players can keep CAS on distance or destroying them.
Hadn’t played in a few days, first game today and managed to hit this little 💩 twice with DM23 and still it managed to fly back to helipad. One game only and I had enough
