The issue is CAS can’t really be balanced due to how it is implemented in GF RBs mode.
I think proper travel times and difficult unlocks would go a long way.
Also making GSB work like GRB (as in: actual matchmaking so you can play whenever) would also functionally give us a tank-only mode due to the significantly barrier of entry to use fighter-bombers for precision bombing tanks using Stick & rudder, no hit markers/scouting and cockpit view.
Idk how well it’d work with guided AGBs, but until early vietnam war with SACLOS/MCLOS style missiles it should still keep the barrier high.
But what You propose just prolongs the time that issue happens, not solves it really or just makes it occur less rather than solving it.
The issue with how currently it is implemented and how things are is that:
- We get random teammates with random understanding of what “fun” is. That means that proper team balance already is screwed not to mention the different skill level of players.
- Not all classes earn properly and are fun to play with, why bother spawning a clean fighter or SPAA if in some games You won’t meet a single enemy plane and You won’'t earn as much as by just playing the same fighter in air mode or a tank on the ground?
- The gameplay that is around taking or defending cirles in a tank/plane game, come on after so many years something could change.
I could go on and on. Gaijin doesn’t want to change the status quo of the things as it is normal that now players are going to pay much more than if things were balanced due to people being more likely to buy “OP” stuff.
I like how you haven’t even played past rank 4, what are you doing in a thread titled “High Tier?” I like how you always want to talk about things you think you understand well enough to share.
It’s more that the proponents of this stupid ‘remove it’ mandate keep on making issues so no-one bothers in the end.
They shout down anything that isn’t thier suggestion to make everything about the issue, and nothing about the solution.
No one is talking about removing anything, people are talking about adding a new gamemode.
You again, write off everything I say after I say I’m not bothering with your tripe…
You just want to keep people blind and ignorant to ANY solution so you can proclaim you’re top dog by showing you can bomb people, and get your mode because you can’t have ANYONE dare to hold another opinion.
I like how you constantly show up, don’t respond to direct points, but when your buds seem to have the upper hand you come in to cope…
Honestly, it’s so pathetically sad…
Oh no, a discussion where people disagree with You and tell You why they do.
I want people to know that things that are not a solution are not a solution, You might not agree but I talk from both perspective, one who is playing tanks and other that is using the air. In both I can do well and everyone can see it.
Because with SBMM or a mode where pure tankers have their place that wouldn’t be harder… nice try ;).
Only a few, who are constantly trying thier hardest to be provocative…
From your perspective they aren’t solutions because you don’t want those solutions, or accept them because you think you’re just too good…
Who said anything about SBMM in this thread, and your ‘pure tankers’ isn’t what this game is… Stop bleating.
That is right, if people are against me they must be bad!
It is not my perspective but rather how things are in the game, I have already explained it and showed it many times.
You might not remember about SBMM but we talked about it as a solution to the current problem adn You were against it.
The game can be what people want it to be, just because You don’t want to play a mode with just tanks doesn’t mean that others don’t want to too.
I never said that so yea, get that straight…
You are talking about yourself right?
Maybe you didn’t even realize that a lot of forumers feels sorry for you
Please point out where I say that You have said it rather than just showing that You are against TO as You are and it can be seen in many topics.
Absolutely directly talking about you… You ignore my response from yesterday, and see fine to be a pitbull for your fellow pals because you thought they had a point, which they don’t…
Stop attacking me personally, because quite frankly, it shows desperation.
SBMM is kind of implied in the teammate problem.
With SBMM, you can rely on your team. This goes for all brackets of SBMM - you go higher in team based SBMM by being a better team player so people are generally incentivized to try. There’s the absolute bottom bracket filled with trolls, but you’ll only get that low if you are a troll yourself.
Without SBMM, your team can range from absolute top percentile to “hold W and keep spamming smoke.” without rhyme or reason.
As such, SBMM is a pre-requisite for teamplay oriented game design.
For me at least, that would be sufficient. What annoys me most is driving a painfully slow conqueror or similar tank and by the time I get into position (~1-2 minutes), there’s already a bunch of aircraft in the air dropping bombs.
Sticking with competetive games since SBMM, I want CAS to be like one team going for roshan or rapier - they get a significant, undeniable advantage but the opportunity cost of doing so should require either significantly better performance to do it risk-free, or make messing up costly (ergo - suicide bombing and similar should not be a “shrug and respawn”).
With SB controls, a lot of asymmetry is removed as well thus my belief that GSB would improve the CAS experience on the receiving end.
This I agree with. I’ve no idea how to make it viable though.
Given how gaijin has been treating ASB, my hopes are negative for positive change. I do wish for a GRB/GSB game mode where circles are ditched in favour of actually impactful battlefield objectives (say, big map with forward spawns, resupplies) and no more "everyone is funneled down a narrow alleyway ala new holland.)
But given that bug reports about actually potentially interesting objectives get “not a bug” when it’s clearly a bug (Sabres flying M1.3 at 7.0-8.0 BR brackets that even 11.0~ planes can’t catch)? Yeah, not worth the faith.
This is peak time-wasting here… Whilst I’m against having the mode added, it’s not for the reason you try to make out that I am…
After all, I’ve never actually said I wouldn’t play such a mode, I just don’t see why it should be brought in to satisfy people like you who get all abusive about someone objecting to your demands…
Call off your pitbull btw.
Can we have a moderator in here to stop this nonsense, because this is what happens every time that someone objects to this stupidity…
I’m tired of being dogpiled by these guys for merely having a differing opinion, and standing against what they DEMAND…
I like how you try so hard to fit into any conversation by setting your profile private so people can’t ignore the pointless responses you post here? to be honest this is perhaps the lowest of the lows I’ve ever seen.
That’s not why I have my profile hidden, but you are the one who’s throwing out personal attacks because you can’t handle what’s being put forth to your buddies… Cool it pitbull, you’re nothing more than a failed rapper.
That is why I propose pure tank mode as a place for people who want to just play tanks, it solves the issue of having in combined mode people in a team that are not there for combined aspect of it but rather tank one.
