Crew Locked despite lacking SP

I will only play planes in GRB(stock to spaded) and I’ve been having the shittiest time ever spading the Yak-9T ever. My KD is 0, and it is intresring that when I lack the SP to load it in(665 SP), I still get crewlocked in it after leaving. Is this a bug?

my guess is I had the base cost (520 SP) and despite not being able to change belts it was assumed I could and crewlocked me

anyways I hate that planes don’t have spawn protection so ppl can sit on the six of the airspawn and camp

yes

load HE and target open tops tbh

Would just load HE but the stock belt has a single AP shell who violently disagrees with me getting the base cost :/

yep, been that way since like last year, when they made every belt type with like more than 30mm of pen have the increased SP cost, as default belts used to be excluded

basically just a counter to the yak9k

I know, there isn’t a clean way to fix cannon CAS. I don’t even want to remove that, Yak-9T with full AP belts is so toxic. I think they shouldn’t be crewlocked for lacking performance compared to any other plane…

you can always just spade in in arb, strafe ground targets or get good with the 37mm against planes

not much else you can really do

I suck at planes, like complete dogwater. The markers in ARB just make the situation worse… so I play planes in GRB exclusively(if I do, most lineups have zero to one plane in them).

You can remove them

I would assume the issue is the enemy seeing the marker, making setting up sneak attacks far harder. Not the other way around.
