Could we see more possibilities for CAS?

Loadout

GRB should not be a concern for limiting an aircrafts ordonance capabilities.
This is a thread for new CAS mechanics not, again, a cope thread about CAS and GRB so please act accordingly

Yes… But what about canons?

Can still kill a light tank or SPAA with a good burst from 27mm or 30mm canon (gotten kills with both, even using stealth belts)

Dont get me wrong, i get the idea. I just think there is too many edge case issues. The better option is just to drop the SP cost of CAP down a bit, increase the SP cost of specific weapons, especially the more powerful ones that are constnatly denied because “they are too OP in GRB” and then actually add some decent top tier SPAAs to all nations other than the soviets.

Problem solved.

Would love to see some more CAS weapons developed. But I think we need to bring SPAA parity up before we extended the range of CAS even further since there’s only 1 nation that can currently truly field a 11.0 or better AD system

I think this is kinda OPs point.

Aircraft being limited in air modes because we need to wait for better tanks to be added.

It is really annoying.

The problem is unless those weapons are restricted purely to air battles, they will be carried into and employed in GRB, even if someone asking for them is careless of ground/naval.

Then perhaps they should add exactly that. Or give them a really really high SP cost.

Tornado Gr4 with Brimstones would be amazing fun in Sim and really needed to deal with the convoys. But too OP in GRB so probably wont be added for ages or in such a nerfed state they are barely recognisable.

I’m down.

Or give us some actual SPAA systems and just push them out to all the modes. Along with some dedicate SEAD tools.

This arbitrary half ass selection/implementation across the board under the guise of “balance” is just annoying everyone.

Or that. Id be down for a fair fight at top tier, if given the tools to make it a fair fight. And yes, Proper SEAD Gameplay would be rather fun, even in air modes.

But would be good to come ASAP

Thing is we need more diverse missions for ARB or Sim like SEAD or maybe to strike some high valve target where the JDAM’s might acutally be usefull. Thing is when you have the odonance available you just need a mission for them.

Not surprised you’re talking about F-15C it air superiority fighter it ground attack capability will not gonna be on par with F-16C or F-15E(it gonna be monster of CAS if it ever come)

Understandable. BUT the JDAM should work like irl. The F-15C was just an example. An F-15C dropping JDAM’s would be as effective as an F-16C dropping JDAM’s irl

Thats what we had and it was nerfed as Gaijin deemed whipping out fighter with air to air loadout way too effective CAS counter for the price, bringing CAP and CAS loadouts equal or similar in price. Then you can equip both and do both tasks for the same ±800sp pricetag.

Alternatively add rule that aircraft can’t be higher BR than ground vehicle. That would add more separation between fighters and strike aircraft, as currently you have no reason to whip out A-10C in GRB when F-16C exists.

That would require more BR’s and gaijoob does not like that

My idea was to fit into current BRs, as lets be real, BR compression is feature, not an issue.

It does throttle aviation you could bring to GRB/GSB, while allowing most stupid or otherwise imbalanced ordnance to be used in ARB/ASB against PvE targets (ARB EC when)

limiting number of aircraft in the air stupid and solves nothing.

So you cant kill other tanks with tanks? :'D Damn Im sorry for you.
