I would like to see the stock drone that can carry Air to Ground missiles moved from being a vehicle that everyone gets in their Ground lineup at a certain BR and instead be an actual researchable vehicle maybe in the Helicopter tree since many of those trees a pretty sparse.
This would allow for the addition of many variants of drones as well.
Instead, within ground lineups, for everybody, i think it would be cool to see some of these Kamikaze drones used in modern combat. Their SP cost could even be a bit lower than the current drones.
At the upper tiers this would help mitigate SOME of the CAS issues and it would introduce a new element of gameplay since you would actually have to fly these Kamikaze drones into the tanks themselves to achieve a kill.
Just a thought.
EDIT: After much back and forth with many of you this whole idea may introduce way more problems then it’s worth.
Im not saying that they should be attached to a vehicle like the scout drone but a separate spawnable vehicle like drones are now only these are less powerful.
Because the current drones are outranged by most advanced aa. Kamikaze drones would make it horrible to play aa because they can just come out of nowhere and kill you because of their smaller size.
I’d say lets test it in an april fools or its own event. If it does well and is semi balanced. I’d be down for it. If it just makes playing ground more of a pain then nah.
The main argument against cas is the fact there’s no counterplay for any tank other than a few spaa’s.
I would like to see more variants of drones, especially notable ones like Bayraktar or IAI Hermes/Heron but i don’t really see the point in making them researchable, just another wasteful RP dump
Idk how else you’d add multiple different types of drones in. They play very similar to the helicopters so i figured those trees made the most sense. The current heli trees are also pretty sparse for many nations so itd add some variety there as well.
It’s easily worked against, however most people that complain are just so fixated on one thing, ‘fixing’ the issue the only way they can see being right, and that’s removal.
You wanting more drone stuff, would lead to more people not wanting drones in the game proclaiming they’d be unfair, or unfun, just because they got got.
Way to ruin ground battles even more by adding more flying shits that cannot be countered by ground vehicles, wanna turn the only ground battles into another air battle? some 10.3 SPAA can’t even lock on the drone
