Changes to the SP cost of CAS in GRB

I never made any mention of any mode. That comes from you mentioning it. I am adhering to this thread and the fact that SP changes will not affect you as badly as you claim.

Maybe people grinded strikers because they like the particualr plane. I will not go into the mirage vs rafale debate because I prefer to play tanks in top tier and if I spawn a plane it’s the rafale with pure CAP loadout.

Yea you are maybe right and i will also adapt to that, but i can still be against it.

Could be, doesn’t change the fact they will become useless after this change.
And then as you know a fully loaded Rafale without SP reduction from scouting is 972 points i believe, which is plenty enough, since they already raised it up to that last year.

Yeah in GRB if you have the rafale. If you don’t they won’t. They are still able to be played in any mode though so you can always use them. It’s not like you will have to leave them behind.

Yeah I think it is around there and it can stay there. I think the main issue is just how any plane above like 11.7 goes into the same 12.0 ground matchup. Sure the rafale and those bring the ground RB to 13.0 but if you ever played it you know it’s just constant. Uptiers since it changes nothing for the dirst 5 minutes and onwards for tanks. 12.0 or 13.0 battles are the same tanks. But I digress. I don’t even have the ground attack mirages because I never bothered to buy them.

Yeah you can be. I never said you are not allowed to object such changes.

I don’t have to leave them behind, but it doesn’t make sense to bring the mirage anymore because the Rafale is just straight up better at both things. And i paid golden eagles for all my line ups to have enough crew slots for tanks, heli and my 2 planes. So i paid real money, which becomes useless now, since filling it with another tank doesn’t make sense.

Thats not true btw., i also played a lot of Isreal lately to get the spyder on 12.7 with my friend who plays USA on 12.7 and whe had a fair amount of 12.7 matches. You should try it, it’s pretty good.
And it takes away the sole plus of russian top tier, which is the 13.0 CAS which results in a lot of winning.

Oh I paid for 8 slots as well. I don’t have any heli and only the rafale for top tier though. One empty slot. Mostly use them for my favourite 7.7 and 7.0 lineups.

I might have to. When I tried I did het constant uptiers. Need to check the GRB BRs for the french jets.

It probably also depends on the played nation, i only did it with Isreal since i bring a 13.0 with all others.

I dont think the nation really matters. I believe it’s just what people in the queue are taking into battle. If there is nobody with less than 13.0 you will just get sucked into 13.0.

The biggest issue for me is none of the good jets are 12.0 in ground BR so I either have an actual 12.0 lineup with the F1C or I have higher than 12.0

No way does this guy think he’s good at Warthunder because he doesn’t use CAS 😂

That is exactly what it means to be good at War Thunder Ground forces. Not using planes lmao

*not needing a crutch in order to win

World’s most humble CAS hater

I take great pride in making CAS players cry. Had an Su-25 complain to me when I shot him down with my OSA AK. Made my day.

Define intended.
Planes in GRB look like an afterthought, as you aren’t even forced to bring them in the first place. All of the objectives are also ground based.

You are asking CAS main to play tanks to fight spaa is like J out of they planes and play ground again.

Planes are part of ground since the beginning. And if you read the description of the mode, it’s clear it’s intended to use planes as well, if you wish.

Russia main are so goofy XD. I once had an Su-25 complain that I shot him down with my M1A1 Aim’s proxy.

The devs intend for planes to bomb tanks, hence CAS is intended.

the devs are implementing the new A2G ordnance SP system in the first place, clearly showing that they dont want that much bombing in ground battles.

Yes, an afterthought and something completely optional from the start.

Looks like Gaijin is perfectly fine with games where aircraft don’t even spawn at all. Not forcing spawns of the “intended” vehicle type tells you everything.

How is it an afterthought ? Planes were in WT before tanks and when they implemented tanks they decided to make it combined arms, thats not an afterthought.

Yes, you are free to play what you want.

It’s pretty much an afterthought as all objectives are ground based and aren’t accessible to aircraft.

Imagine creating a mode where one vehicle type isn’t even mandatory and can’t interact with objectives. It literally screams that planes were an afterthought in GRB.

Try queuing for GRB without a tank in your lineup.
Try that but without aircraft and tell me what happens.

Planes can’t even be spawned first, which is yet another argument to them being just an optional thing.

Also, if what you say is true, please find me a game of GRB where no tank has been spawned.
