The new mechanic applies to all tier, maybe you just play the top tier 12.7 but it will definitely ruin 2.7-6.7, the WWII game, where the GER ground vehicles over-powerful.
I still see it as a buff at the lower BRs. Because it allows for things like the Typhoon/Tempest to be run with bombs and then respawn in a Spitfire for CAP. Before that wouldnt be possible and I would have to use a dedicated bomber to ground pound if I wanted to retain the ability to spawn in a fighter later. With no SPAAG for Britain above 5.3 until 8.3. This is rather critical ability to retain and so maintains this value all the way through the Meteors and co as well.

This is, however, a farrrrr better change than what we are having now
- Player time and economic investment are not properly respected
*To use air forces effectively in Ground Historical Battles, players need to spend significant time progressing through the air tech tree and may even purchase vehicle packs to speed up unlocks. The new system increases the cost of deploying aircraft with ground-attack ordnance, making it harder for players to utilize their air units and diminishing the value of prior investments. - It may exacerbate stalemates in pure ground battles
In pure Ground Battles, some players defend key positions, making it difficult for opponents to break through. Air support is an important tool to resolve such stalemates. With the higher deployment cost for aircraft carrying ground-attack ordnance, players will find it harder to continuously support ground units, making battles more prone to monotonous “choke-point standoffs,” reducing tactical diversity and game enjoyment.
Overall, while the new mechanism aims to balance aircraft deployment frequency, in practice it may weaken players’ willingness to use air forces and reduce the strategic depth and enjoyment of Ground Historical Battles.

There are no ground historical battles. Less players in planes is a good thing and a massive QoL change that Ground RB needs. Its called GROUND BATTLES for a reason. I knew there were planes in it going into the game mode but I did not sign up to fight the entire US Air Force when I face US teams.

I agree
I wonder if it’s too early to change the SPs for planes in GRB since a series of modern SPAAs havn’t added into the game. IRISTs and Pantsirs have proven they’re able to threat the planes even intercept their guided bombs(and there are news and advanced ones in next version).What simply limit the sp of aircrafts also does to SPAAs. The new mechanism is going too far .
(i mean at least it should be done after it has proven that widespread SPAAs in new version doesnt work,if is,why what should be revised arent SPAAs?they cant complete their mission!)
Why not make minor adjustments to the powerful missiles such as kh38, but instead choose to change all the aircraft respawn points? I think this is a mistake, and it also shows that Bvvd have indeed never played the game they made themselves.

KH38 is too OP, it is necessary to balence Su30sm and Su34

Every mid-BR player knows that GB5.3+ and GER5.7+ are similiar for the lack of CAS choice. You really found a special case, accurately.
Then what about the USA5.7+ and USSR5.7+? In the new patch, the 45mm Yak-9s going to scramble SPs with Tu-2. Its not a buff at lower BRs, its only benefit the Wehrmacht players.
And this mechanics IS NOT a solution to the Kh-38MT rush.
Besides, I fail to find enough service records in GR Mode game of you. No F-16C, no F-15E, no Su-30SM, no Su-34, no Rafale, no Typhoon. Only 13 vehicles respawned over 100 times and all of them were low BR aviations.
Wondering how you could come to this conclusion – a buff at all BRs.
Maybe you play another account.
Because its basic common sense?
SMH. You should take responsibility of your words, better to have enough experience when commenting on certain vehicles, instead of following the crowd.
I must point it out that many of the so-called common sense in WT are merely misunderstanding, prejudice and discrimination.

Yes we need some change to balance the VVS and USAF’s domination at high BR, particularly in 12.7, the top tier game. However the new mechanics should have a restricted limitation, ONLY applying for GUIDED A2G weapon for example.
If for ALL BRs UNCONDITIONALLY, the impact could be DEVASTATING, as CAS is actually a method to balance the ground vehicles.

all those su34 and su30sm are nullified by the new sams and the EF2000 spam, when flying those planes you cant even see if a missile from slm is after you and u cant evade anything. KH38 is not op, you have the KH29 does same shit and I dont see ppl crying about it.
True, its neither Ground or Realistic.
However, the imbalance caused by aviation domination differs from BR to BR. In many cases the CAS is a method to balance ground vehicles. Nerfing CAS will make new imbalance. We cant ignore that.
Ground-preferred players genearlly advocate this coming SP mechanics, but it should be set some limitation, only applying for GUIDED weapons for example. ONE SIZE FITS ALL is not a good solution. Maybe not a solution but a potential trouble.

By playing against a nation with weak tanks, you signed up to fight lots of planes.
Are the weak tanks in the room with us? Because I am going up the US tree and its been a blast. APHE, low speed stabilisers, three nukes and pretty damn good planes with good bomb options. Only weakness I see is SPAA and even that’s not the worst.

Okay, then I hope that more and more people will develop the technology tree of attack aircraft because of “love”
Tanks like the Jumbo lack the firepower to destroy things like King Tigers or Pz.4/70, hence CAS is used to battle the imbalance.
At 6.7 where U.S. has strong tanks, it has weak CAS.
