Free SPAAs are not a Slam Dunk

[Isaaciscoo]

1. There’s no point in grinding SPAA anymore, you get the best ones for free. The benefit of a spaded SPAA is literally inconsequential. Also the difference between a free 12.3 and a spaded 12.7 SPAA is also inconsequential.

2. You’ve given premium players something to both spawn at the beginning of the game and sit on for the whole game. It’s somehow decreased the efficacy of premium players leading them to contribute even less to games

3. Really no point in flying CAS anymore especially in higher tiers, except for FaF helicopters. They’ll stay OP so it’s not like giving these monkeys SAM systems is going to change the fact that their missiles are radar only.

4. This is a sad af attempt to make the premium loadout playstyle that Gaijin loves so much more viable which has actively been destroying the quality of the game

Wtf are we doing anymore Gaijin, just give premium players in AirRB a free respawn too it’ll really help boost those sales

Why a player would buy a premium vehicle just to not use it, and instead use a spaa without premium benefits (more rp/sl). The free spaas actually increase the premium players to contribute more for their teams, after using their premium tank + backup, they can use spaa. Instead of just using their prem vehicle + backup and then leaving.

I would say a pretty important difference.

@Isaaciscoo

Also the difference between a free 12.3 and a spaded 12.7 SPAA is also inconsequential.

The max br for a ground premium its 12.0 (US, GER, USSR), the rest are lower brs. So it shouldnt be so common to see premium only players at 12.7

Oh nooo look, im playing 12.7 and got a 11.7 free spaa :(
such a bad day for cas players

Haha playing 12.7 br and they gave me a f- chaparral (stock)

Im starting to think theres no 12.0+ free spaa. Even if I delete my SPYDER from the lineup.

Don’t get this vent lol This idea stopped the ODL by a lot. Also sounds like your super against premiums.

1. I somewhat agree, but at the same time not really. Some SPAA only have 1 kind of ammo, others have multiple ones for better ammo. So worth having to unlock and grind for better modifications.
2. No, every player has a free SAM system, not just premiums. Also beneficial to have them sit in the free SAM instead of ODL, able to keep CAS busy…which was the goal to keep them in game. It’s working so far.
3. Play smarter doing CAS.
4. Not really, again, every single player has these free vehicles to prevent an ODL. Not just for premiums… So far its working.

Play smarter doing CAS.

You are asking too much, they dont seem to know how to use GPS glide bombs.

[Cookies_Juicebox]

You right, I am asking too much. RIP

@gfdsa_killer

Also I remind you that those vehicles are stock and no crew training

I’m sure crew matters a lot when you are pressing 2 buttons and the radar does the work for you :)

[Rarefss]

lil you dont have any spaa grinded in your loadout

[gfdsa_killer]

Casually ignoring the pic below with and without the spyder

@gfdsa_killer

Haha playing 12.7 br and they gave me a f- chaparral (stock)

If you ment I have not researched the better missile in the chaparral, then you are wrong, I have it researched. The free vehicles are always stock.

[Cookies_Juicebox]

Look at the other screenshot…he has the SAM lol

[gfdsa_killer]

Do you mean new spaas like buk, irist, hq11, etc?

Free spaas doesnt cover those new spaa lol, at max you recieve saclos spaa like flarakrad.

Also smoke launchers are important even at facing new spice 250 and other munitions. So yeah researched spaa still better.

[Malekitth]

No. Literally no SPAA needs crew skill. The only benefit you might get that is actually useful is faster turret rotation

Above 8.0 I put my SPAAs in the lowest level crew I have

[gfdsa_killer]

For low mid spaa you need aiming, reload and vision.

For top tier spaa you need the aim training, or it will take more time to aim.

[Malekitth]

@gfdsa_killer

For low mid spaa you need aiming, reload and vision.

That’s why I said above 8.0…

At low tier crew skills matter for spaa for stuff like wirbelwind true

But it really doesn’t for 2S6, pantsir, flarakrad etc

[gfdsa_killer]

@Malekitth

That’s why I said above 8.0…

Still you have spaas without radar and vision training its useful.

Jdams. Jdams are eating goddamn well now because whenever you throw test jdam on spawn, you 100% hit 1 or 2 aa and then finish them off with more precise 2-3 jdam bursts so they have no chance of winning there.

[gfdsa_killer]

Maybe he doesnt know how to throw gps bomb at low altitude and behind hills.

If he throws it 1 sec after spawning at 2,000 meters high and 20km away. Its obviusly gonna be intercepted.
