When I decide to NOT play Air Simulator Battles or other games - notice the emphasis: NOT play - I do so because I want to play a Tank whether it be a Sherman, a funny british piece of junk, a T-34/KV, a tiger/panther or maybe something more exotic.
If I cannot play those vehicles in peace fighting similar vehicles, what motivation do I have to stop playing my preferred air mode to be forced to fly planes in a mode I don’t find enjoyable (map too small, air spawns, shrot match duration, rapidly draining tickets, prefer cockpit view and stick & rudder controls for intrinsic flying fun). WW2 SPAA is pretty impotent against properly flown CAS, so only real option is CAP and I got a better mode to fly CAP.
Give me a mode where I can actually drive shermans and other stuff around without people telling me to spawn a plane and 75% of my complaints disappear.
Those remaining 25% will be pertaining to the awful maps and damage modelling.
The current GRB mode basically turns into people basically telling me to “go fly a plane in a worse game mode for flying planes in” after my big fat slow heavy tank gets bombed 3-5 minutes into a match (or strafed to death if it’s light enough while still being fairly slow and clumsy.) In that case, why play GRB? Might as well stick to ARB or ASB.
GSB is somewhat more promising due to the CAS skillfloor being significant but uhm…
Can’t play what I want whenever I want.
