CAS at 10.7 is barely acceptable, most complaining about CAS comes from 10.7 since im grinding it right now, but the planes at top tier are absurd, and if attacted directly, even the pantsir has problems not dying to missile spam. letalone a non-pantsir SPAA.
its as easy as jumping into russia, playing for a few minutes, then getting the KA-50 and youre probably going to get a few free zero skill kills. also specifically with helis like the KA-50 (for the direct-fire missiles) its comically easy eating missiles from SPAAs and then killing them, they simply cant do anything even if they do go as far as to spawn that anti air which usually doesnt happen in the first place
CAS between 10.0-10.7 can be handle by spaa like Strela, Osa and 2s6m without problem but against anything above 10.7 CAS is become a real problem and is not skill issue but facing fast CAS.
Have to disagree on this one Alvis. It’s not because the missile sucks, it’s because of the general nature of SACLOS guidance. Strela while lacking any meaningful spotting mechanism asides from T-6-1 is somewhat better because it is FnF in exchange for range and poorer anti heli performance
these antiairs dont handle CAS that well, and most importantly nobody spawns them. russia has a competent SPAA at that BR (2s6) but at the same time, its russia who spawns KA-50 and removes all strelas and other weak SPAAs. other nations dont have equally competent lineups, SPAAs nor CAS aircraft.
NATO has superior CAS at 10.7, and Ka-50 is 11.3 which means: HQ17, Osa [3 tech trees outside Soviets, and ASRAD all are capable of dealing with Ka-50.
doesnt matter whether NATO has superior CAS at 10.7 when all CAS is superior to ground vehicles.
all the other higher BR AAs still struggle with a ka-50 unless the player is bad and is just floating up in the air easy to shoot down. even pantsir struggles with a competent ka-50 player, the only advantage is the 12 missiles.
for longer ranges yes but the missile launcher is awkward, useless at close range, no machine gun and its on wheels
Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I play Z10 and carry 16 TY90s. At the beginning of the game, I go to the opposite airport to find a valley grove or house area to ambush, which can effectively reduce the CAS in the sky
yea its mediocre but sometimes it can be useful. strela missile is better but the manual guiding works sometimes, and the actual weapon is also nice while strela or osa just sits there and stares.
but regardless of its effectiveness compared to other AAs, it just cant deal with CAS properly
biggest problem about cas at top tier is maps and that some not really important actions give to many points to spawn plane, you just capture home point + some damage and you can take full loadout eurofigther for example.
Bro that third pix, what is the bvm doing in there? Did he got lost or something? He must have used some hacks to be able to enter airrb with tanks bro
