As CAP pilot who spend times keep sky clear for my teammate best as my ability allow yeah CAP need to be cheaper especially top tier when CAS can wipe your team in second best you can do is to stop it soon as it spawn and I don’t care CAS main cry about how unfair it is if CAP cheaper make their life harder.
Probably partly due to Gaijin strategy of creating problem sell the “solution”. People screaming their lung about this but the playerbase is so divided on this problem along with people still got other stuff to complain about nothing has been done about it.
There are many scenarios that resulting in tanks still getting shit on again, once the sky is clear for one team then CAP left nothing to do they come harrass ground vehicles again, pilots with enough brain cells will hug the floor which is undetected by radar, so missile SPAA are f***** if they flew behind spawn then suddenly popped up with their mg, Pantsir maybe could handle them with autocannons but chance of them getting f*** is higher because I’ve seen props did the same thing to them lool

I never did that before really i need to keep looking at their spawn against SU-34 you can’t be slow to take it out soon as they spawn
CAS costs should go up, CAP costs should remain the same.
If you make CAP dirt cheap to spawn, like 300 SP, it might invite people from ARB to create their own quasi-ARB in GRB without 16v16 furballs they hate.

Should not be like 700 points for another plane all should be like Gripen around 500-500 and that with AMRAAM too
We need less planes up, not more.
yeah but too much point for CAP and when horde of CAS spawn who gonna stop them?
Hordes of CAS are a thing because they are too cheap at the moment, which is why their SP cost need to go up.
SP cost should scale based on the number of A2Gs you carry. For example, if you set a Su-34 with 6x KHs to cost 1400-1500 SP, you’ll immediately see less spam as you actually need to work hard to achieve that.
SP cost should also scale with A2As to maybe force people to trade some A2Gs and carry A2A for self defense.
yeah, i can understand that if the point is that high the SP for CAS CAP can remain the same which is acceptable for me
😒
OR, instead of artificial nerfs and making planes unusable for a very big portion of community, that is just average performing players, just let people play in ground only gamemode, so everybody can be happy

That works too.

Yeah, with SP costs of CAS going up, CAP should still be an interesting option for some to take out.
Maybe the solution to this problem is in the air and not on the ground.
Reduce the cost of spawning aircraft with only A2A loadout, and let air players kill each other.
It is much more efficient than an SPAA.
Not to mention that vehicles with only A2A loadout are much more competitive for contesting airspace, aircraft with hybrid loadout or only A2G would be at a great disadvantage against air superiority aircraft.
If you can’t defeat them on the ground, fight them in the air.
What if people do not want to fly planes when playing tanks?
I strongly prefer flying planes, but I’m not always in the mood for them. If I was in the mood, I’d go and play the game mode dedicated to flying planes (which is what I do 90% of the time).
I also prefer gunfighter (especially propeller) aircraft to missile thunder, while I enjoy cold war tanks as a concept. Should I also fly missile thunder just to play my tanks?
Also.
What if the person has top tier in nation X air, but top tier in nation Y air because they’re more interested in those nations’ vehicles in that context? For instance, Swedish air and israeli ground.

think this update is also increasing the range of targeting pods on top tier from 20km to 30km so the only real way to counter the planes is taking one ur self but what can you do if you dont have the spawn points
CAS is an issue, not only in high tier but starting around mid tiers. As soon as ppl can spawn the plane you see them in the air. Problem with this, that you loos a match, because no one is on ground except the opponents. The CAP all and you have lost a match which you were clearly in lead.
Airfield camping is a AirSB problem. These days when BR 13-14 is active, you have 4 eurofigters on top killing you on ground as soon as you want to take off. Happened 90% of all matches this weekend.
I went back to BR11.
If all go air after first spawn, the match is likely to be lost.
I understand that so well i mean i used to be tanks players like everyone here, but horde of CAS turn me in to CAP pilot I don’t wanna do it but i don’t want to be free kill for CAS either it just to survive that’s all.
Without CAS SPAA will be useless, there are few who want to stay on the map fishing for CAS, and that’s because I’m not involving the fact that it can be shaken by a missile or guided bomb without it noticing
You just proved that I’m right, and it’s for this argument that Gaijin won’t create an exclusive mode for tanks.
