The amount of CAS facing germany has been significantly decreased now that people are taking SPAA first thing. Revenge bombing has been decreased, Yak-9Ks have been decreased. It’s so good.
Now all that needs to happen is other nations get good SPAA that encourage fun and engaging SPAA gameplay, where they aren’t just free kills for people driving tanks, and have to sit around being spawn camped and rely on their team to defend them.

Not sure if you saw the vid from BO Time gaming in which he killed a Maus with the FlakPz 341 - by exploiting the reverse gear kills armor bug.

It just occured to me.
it’s a known bug, people who are using it are abusing a known bug. Soooo, technically speaking they can be banned for it.
6. UNSPORTING CONDUCT
6.1.2. Exploiting Game bugs, errors, and flaws.
Not suggesting that happens of course, but it would be very, very funny.

Typo?
And I thought the buff was to the APHE rounds, which would be used more on ground units than air units. Complaints have been the 341 doing way too much damage on ground units rather than concentrating on CAS…

It’s 6.3 it can’t see 5.0.
Yeah it was meant to say CAS, thanks for pointing that out.
Yup - this only adds evidence to what I have long suspected.
If we give average people ground-to-air counters that 1) can go on the offensive against tanks to reach relevant locations on maps and 2) are also effective at swatting planes at their BRs, then most people will (after varying amounts of time) stop complaining about CAS and pick up their preferred counter to kill themselves.
Now let’s see a SP cost drop on at least clean/AAM-only fighters, coupled with forced runway spawns on all planes at all times.
Maybe also take a nod from Naval and give us default fighters, CAS, and SPAAG/SAMs with preset loadouts so that now nobody can claim they’re “defenseless” against CAS.
Then everyone will have multiple good counters to pick from, and SPAAGs will feast on plenty of targets.

Just like people who were exploiting scouting through solid cover bug.
All of these should be punished in one way or another.
Both resulted in some people gaining unfair advantage and getting more RP/SL, while others lost RP/SL directly because someone used those bugs against them.
Few thousand of perma bans would set a nice of example of what’d happen if you were to exploit blatant bugs.

Stop pretending to be tough. Permanent bans for using game mechanics is wholly unjustified.

No, it’s ridiculous. It could always shoot down planes, now people can wipe tanks with it. Pen should be nerfed or move it up to at least 6.7

Are you also going to ban everyone using low graphics to see tanks better? Things like that are part of the game, not cheating

Didn’t need an APHE buff to shoot down Yak-9’s!!

The Sprgr. Also was “buffed” but for some reason nobody cares.
All because of the reverse bug.
Get over yourself please. Advocating for perma bans for something that can literally be interpreted as a gameplay mechanic…

Not how that works since all they are doing is reversing and playing a tank.

Yup. Experienced players playing 341 = people actually SPAAing for Germany = the CAS spam allied teams deleting their own spawn points by bringing CAS when they really should be bringing ground.

Yes, but its ability to tackle ground units has increased its usage at the frontlines, which is where SPAA is at its highest effectiveness. It’s not some SPAA sitting in spawn after someone has lost their Tiger 2.
There’s a big difference between turning down the sliders to the lowest available level and scouting across the map through meters of solid cover. Only one of those is an actual bug which is also incredibly easy to spot just by using the smallest amounts of common sense.
Gameplay mechanic = scouting through meters of solid cover
I guess it’s easiest to play dumb and ignore common sense as this doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see it’s clearly a bug. Unless you want to claim scouting was always meant to work without LoS, which is just absurd.
Ah, so people that never reversed while playing their tank before are all of a sudden doing exactly that in their every engagement, basically changing their playstyle overnight. How lucky and convenient is that, huh ?
Blatant bug exploiters should get punished and only thing more lame than them are people that’re trying to excuse that behavior on the forum by offering nonsensical arguments.
