So I’ve run into a pretty frustrating issue on one of the maps and I’m honestly not sure how this made it through testing.
Right after takeoff from the airfield, you’re immediately exposed to open terrain with zero natural cover - no mountains, no hills, no terrain masking at all. You’re still low, slow, and trying to gain speed/altitude, and at that exact moment enemy SPAA already has a clean line of sight on you.
This basically turns the air spawn into a shooting gallery.
Gajin never plans for the future. The AFs were made for close range AA.
The real solution is just remove the leviathans SPAA until proper counters and map changes come.
Here’s a better (and revolutionary) idea. Ya know how it’s a ground game mode? Maybe spawn in a tank
Warthunder is an air game with jerry rigged “tanks” that use bomber turret code.
Good, take your pathetic plane out of my ground match.
Come play ASB then. Warthunder was originally intended to be a sim game. The encyclopedia even says that the intended way to play is stick and rudder (that thing is ancient lmao)
Given that the vast majority of players use mouse aim, the fact that there are official competetive RB tournaments that allow mouse aim/instructor…
The argument of the game’s original purpose (unfortunately - with how buggy and neglected SB modes are) is one that holds little impact or relevance.
My argument was meant to carry the same weight as “It’S a GroUnD gaME,” that is, none at all.
He allready did spawn in a tank… How about you deal with the fact people chose to use an aircraft after they earned the spawn points to do so by playing a tank…or you could just go play Tank only game???
Love it when ground guys prove that planes are underpowered themselves
Hmmmmm. Where do I find this supposed tank only game mode?
Ye, but aircraft spawns are way too low judging by the amount of kills they can get, should be at least 700-1000sp depending on munitions, maybe 300 with only air to air weapons. Also helicopters can be used on first spawn
Its called World of tanks its exactly what you want so rather than trying to change a game MILLIONS of people actually play and enjoy and wasting YOUR OWN TIME trying to make them unhappy how about you take your crybaby azz over there where you will undoubtedly find something else to waste your time crying about
If people enjoyed the game, there would be no point of a forum, cuz the game isn’t perfect and many people find Cas to be a problem.
Anyway, clearly u can’t have a reasonable argument so there’s no point of being there, this whole forum is pretty much based for suggestions, and I’m allowed to share my opinion
The only problem CAS has is World of Tank mains trying to make War Thunder their own game instead of just enjoying War Thunder for what it is
Solid 0~1, worse than tanks?
Additional Proof:
For suicide. Not even kamikaze.
When you don’t see them played in 8.x 9.x till one step below top, and when SPAA players are starting to complain about no food?
Got that backwards. A pure A2A fighter can EASILY rack up 5+ kills, so long as multiple enemies spawn.
Pure A2A fighters, especially with 4 or more missiles should be 1000sp minimum if we’re making the kill count argument.
Something like an A-4E or Hunter F.58 which have only 2 FnF munitions should be alot cheaper.
A-4E gets 2 easy kills with its munitions tho. And since planes are hard to engage without a spaa, they should also be hard to use. Dedicated air to air planes should be cheaper to spawn, cuz they rely on the enemy spawning planes which is all up to chance
Hard to use as in 1000sp, only two muntions, and facing SPAA made 40 years after it?
Dedicated A2A planes should be more expensive cause they’re more powerful. The reason enemy planes spawning is uncommon is because CAS is insanely underpowered and overpriced at 8.3-10.0
Yup! ~ I regularly have 1k-2k SP in the 8.0-10.0 BR range and simply will not spawn aircraft…They suck at that range.
Far more useful to spawn your Gepard with missiles on it, go mop up most the tanks in that range from the front… and fire the missiles at anyone brain damaged enough to fly around 50m off the deck trying to machine gun a tank with 30mm HE rounds.
It seems that the map does need attention, but so does the OP AA.
Deserved
SP, payload limits and free spaa already
yes finally. And do you know why planes arent spawned?
