Free SPAAs are too powerful

Yeah killing SPAA isn’t the hard part. It’s doing anything other than killing SPAA when they have unlimited respawns that’s hard.

This is why I say that SPAA should:

  1. Cost same or more as normal tank

  2. Experience same SP increase as other tanks

  3. Be unable to fire during spawn prot

Those simple changes would fix a lot of issues regarding balance.

no. SPAA are like that to make poeple wanting to play them, if they’re not attractive to spawn, because frankly the gameplay is boring AF, poeple won’t spawn them anymore and we’ll experience even more CAS…

Only ones I support that for are the Gepard, Falcon, ItPsV Leo etc. as they are basically tank destroyers anyway and having no RWR at that tier makes you completely boned if you dare to breath in the “Gepard Alley”

Aircraft shouldn’t be able to fire any weapons unless they are directly over the battlefield then.

imo the Gepards should be 150sp since they’re not only VERY good at AT, but also very good for AA.

All SAMs should be 100sp. WW2 SPAA should stay 70sp cause it actually makes sense for them to be cheap.

SPAA being boring is no good reason for it to be OP.

You are impressively good at destroying the reputation of players advocating for CAS nerfs.

dies when so much a stiff fart is directed at them
Can only penetrate (somewhat unreliably) side armor of most MBTs
With exceptions, usually Xbox hueg
A stock SPAA is usually suicide against MBTs
Even spaded is an uphill battle dependant on the SPAA.
Somehow OP at top tier despite a single plane being able to wipe out a dozen tanks while being practically invulnerable at 5km+ away because CAS got BTFO’d by an SPAA platoon.

…Sure. Okay. Amazing that the instant some sort of challenge shows up for the average CASer, they vehemently oppose it because it’s ‘unfair’.

It’s almost like tanks have been dealing with this for almost a decade and now that roles are reversed, the tank players find it cathartic.

‘But you said CAS isn’t OP, Parry!’

It isn’t. It’s god damn annoying, yeah but that’s as far as I’ll say about CAS.

‘But you suck at GRB HURR HURR’

My poor eyesight and volumetric silliness like to screw me over. Not to mention a lot of mechanics changed from 2018 to 2025 when I actually played warthunder on a pc account.

But it is what it is.

the free AA’s should be bad quality since theyre free and spawn with randomised defects

Let’s not.

you dont have the vision

You don’t say, that’s why I wear glasses.

suggestion #2 to fix this, allow everyone to ONLY spawn the free aa and nothing else

AA only game mode would be fun, kind of like the gun only for aviation. Randomized defects is not a good idea though, what type of defects are you thinking to begin with?

you spawn without a track and cant repair, or without a barrel and cant repair. or like, your driver didnt show up to work

Yeah that’s just a bad idea, sorry. There is no vision that we lack, it would just lead to someone leaving the battle, which the entire point of free vehicles was to stop that from happening.

Imagine if a plane spawned without a wing or the pilot didn’t show up on aircraft spawn.

That’d be infuriating for the player.

It’s not good game design either.

sounds like my morning commute by train to the university… (UK for context)

I will never be as good as you destroying your own reputation. You dropped this: 👑

He has been called a knuckle-dragger for a reason, the forum laughing stock.

Actually, after playing Kv-7, I’ve decided to change my ways. It’s EXTREMELY unfair that lvl 14s have a way to counter my seal clubbing in time of SL need.
