Because why people should play custom battles of they could be normal games?
If there was only few people who enjoy tank vs tank combat then adding a mode wouldn’t change much for You. You have to Pick if You belive that it would divide playerbase or that only few people want it
Because they aren’t normal games now, so if the choice is to either not have them at all, or make them yourself, making them yourself seems pretty good to me.
Furthermore if you banded together and made a series of custom lobbies, then demonstrated that they are routinely populated, it would send a much stronger message to Gaijin than “anti-CAS thread #1937473” on the forums ever could.
Making custom lobbies and playing in them would not only scratch your tank vs tank itch, it would give you a better chance of seeing a real TO mode.
Can anyone provide an actual reason not to do this?
And ARB/ASB would be mostly people vulching aircraft before they can even take off, dropping a million bombs on the runway so that the craters prevent take off for those that did survive.
Germany during WW2 put this to great use versus poland, france and USSR.
Then Western Allies did the same against germany.
Edit:
Oh, and most tanks would get destroyed while still in the hangar from various strike/bombing runs. Survivors would get destroyed while moving from depot to battlefield in the column or while taking a break off to the side and messing up camouflaging the tanks.
It is not about that I can’t play without it or that I need that mode.
Why I want TO to happen is because it would allow Gaijin to properly make a combined mode without having to think about air vs ground balance that can never be achieved.
I’m amazed that people prefer to get nerfs/buffs constantly
Pangolin is the type of a guy that says certain AAs are OP with terrible players not being able to use those systems effectively, all the while he himself has pretty lackluster stats in same vehicles.
Ground battles is already the most played gamemode.
The thing here is that a lot of people either are not on the forums or any type of WT related socials and thus will have no knowledge of this. Not to mention those times you join the game just to play one or two matches. TO lobbies would be a lot more work to organise than just pressing the button to go into a random battle.
AS well as custom matches not giving any rewards so if a player is currently grinding a tech tree they are discouraged from playing this way since they gain no progress.
also we really should get back on topic of how CAS SP increase for AG ordnance will positively affect groudn battles
