You can’t stop a nuke carrier from ending the game in a tank neither, the point is, your tank is not a equivalent choice against aircrafts, and the advanced SAM’s spawn cost (90sp) is a ridiculous joke too.
EVEN FIRST SPAWN OF A CAS PLANE COSTS ALMOST 10 TIMES SP COMPARING TO THE TANK! Just do the math

That is why it costs so much.

This is a straw man argument that has been debated over thousands of times. If you spawn an SPAA at the start of the match in any BR that is not somewhere betweeen 8.0 and 10.0 you are a detriment on your team since SPAA are ineffective against tanks which is all there is for the first minutes of the match. But if you spawn a tank which is what you should be doing you people keep claiming you chose “willingly choose a vehicle class which is not effective against aerial threats”.
No issues here.
They techincally did that by adding the drones at higher tiers but that is a bad example.
Or they could just make SPAA cheaper to unlock since they are slower to grind due to the small amount of things most of them can do.
Actually not. A better comparison would be ordering pizza with for example olives on it and complaining about the olives. But what you don’t say is that the pizza place only offers pizzas with olives on top and will not let you order one without olives by default.

The difference is that planes don’t cost that much compared to what they can do ;)
Because watching CAS haters make themselves look stupid is fun.
There’s a difference between stumbling upon a once in a while WW2 br game with no planes, and seeing absolutely no planes at pretty much anywhere 8.3+.
Holy cope Batman

Damn, someone’s mad.
First group of players use “tanks” for jumping into plane ASAP, and then their “fun” begins. At this moment “fun” for second group of players, that likes tank battle, ends, because they either getting CASd, or MUST exchange “fun” tank for “unfun” SPAA.
Main problem of GRB, really.

Nope
Oh, so “LT-scout-j-out-plane” players don’t exist?
They’re so incredibly rare that you could go 100 games and MAYBE see two. The closest you really get is players that get multiple kills/caps really early in the round and die just as quick b4 spawning CAS.
You compare capture airfield in AB and ARB mode with planes is possible as in GRB. I doubt you can capture points with planes in GRB mayby with helicopter but not with planes/jets.

Helis can do it. Planes literally cannot even if you land on the cap.
No it’s just become clear that your poll is not giving you the result you expected so you are trying to justify this whole thread in your head.

Lol, lmao even.
They didn’t go far enough. There is no snowballing rant thread in Naval about CAS partially because whether people bring their own CAS or not, everyone is given the same tools with the option to bring more.
If a person can only become a “pure tanker” by their own choice, it now also becomes their own choice if they die to something they could’ve avoided by not pidgeonholing themselves as a “pure tanker.”
Why not both? At the end of the day, any would-be CAS Complainers get boxed in by their own warped preferences, which is what they deserve after coming to a game not built to their preferences and then trying to scream it into oblivion until it suits their preferences.

Or maybe because most of ships have AI AA to deal with planes ;)
Small yet very important detail.
As long as gaijin introduces TO we will only see nerfs/buffs that no one asks for and really wants.
This “change” only proves it

Fine-tuning is necessary for all aircraft and ammunition and they are too lasy to ddo it (they can’t make separate fuse timing for different aircraft). When you make changes to all aircraft at all BR levels, it ruins the balance.

This is why CAS haters only advocate for nerfs to the whole system rather than to specific problem child planes. They don’t want balance, they just want the game to be easy.
Imo, the best way that Gajin could apply specific buffs/nerfs to different planes without having an overly complicated system, is just dividing planes into difference flight performance tiers.
Light fighter 650sp (Yak-9, Spitfire, Zero)
Heavy fighter 550sp (Fw-190, P-47, Il-2)
Light attacker 500sp (AD-2, Do 335, Mosquito)
Heavy attacker 450sp (Me 410, P-61, Tu-2)
Bomber 400sp (Pe-8, B-29, P.108)
Gajin could then freely move a plane up or down in tier, and adjust SP costs for specific plane ordinances.
It’s simple, and would solve many CAS balance issues.
