I have no idea what you are trying to say. Nobody is going to hit you from 20km out. Sure, you technically can fire off AGMs or glide bombs at that distance, but you would have a long time to shoot them down, entire minutes for the latter. There are issues with top tier CAS balance, but range is not one of them, and thinking it is says a lot about your level of knowledge.

nah I’m at the I feel good where I am cause been playing the game for almost 9 years idc I have the skill that makes me happy

“Nobody is going to hit you from 20km out” “says a lot about your level of knowledge.” They can, will, and have hit from 20 KM out.

Regardless of what you say the range is, my initial point is still factual. No one should be able to spam FNF missiles 5 minutes in.

What are you even talking about? 5 minutes is nearly half the game in many matches. If someone is skilled enough to spawn CAS quickly, there’s no reason why to stop them.

Over 20 KM (yes I know not a kh38):

Over 16 KM:

Literally from the airfield:

Near 20 KM when going into targeting, plane flying away:

The entire reason they are so quick is BECAUSE of cas. People go out get 2 kills and a cap, and then get to wipe the entire team.

In a game with no CAS with FNF spam, the games last a lot longer.

buddy ol boy let me tell you about the old days when the Ka-50 was just introduce and the light reserve tanks capped one base and you have like 5 helos 1st minute in

Buddy ol boy let me tell you about the fact I was playing back then.

No day goes by without a stupid newbie suggestion showing up on the forum…

You said they can’t make 20 KM shots. I showed them making 20 KM shots and chasing down planes over 20 km.

They can in fact make 20 KM shots.

No day goes by without a stupid newbie reply to a completely resonable suggestion to a thing ruining the game on the forum.

Hold on your mixing things up.

What i said is against current sams, you cant lock / launch after 20km because you need to be high and fast.
Who give you only 6 sec to do all this

Or you will be dead by sams.

Not talking about missile only here, i am talking about the kh38 and others cas against current sams

6 seconds is enough time especially if you already have a location locked on the minimap. Not enough to shoot off all the missiles yes, but enough to get one or two.

You’re also assuming the SPAAs that spawn can actually even kill you at that point, most SPAAs that spawn that early are SACLOS missiles (that don’t have radar range, tracking radar range, or both) that are much easier to defeat. And that’s just assuming you didn’t get lucky and have a downtier to that BR in a SU-25SM3.

The most common SPAA I see at 12.0 even in an uptier is the ADATS. 25 KM radar range yes, but only 12 KM tracking range. Second most common I see, FlaRakRad. 16 KM radar and track.

Russia, Sweden, and China are the only countries with SPAA at 11.7/12.0 with over 20 KM of tracking range. Sweden being the only non-SACLOS one with IR missiles with 9 KM front aspect lock.

“there is nothing preventing you from spawning SPAA at the start of a match” oh but there is. It’s called when people first spawn SPAA, it leaves no one in tanks and ends with us being spawn camped 3 minutes in.
