You completely missed what I said. CAS is good for one specialized purpose. Killing campers. It does that better than any tank, however in every other situation tanks are both easier and far more rewarding to plane.
Like seriously, even with hundreds of ground ai kills in ARB, IL-8 does not even come close to my Kv-7 stats. It literally takes the most OP CAS plane in Warthunder to match a tank.
This literally just shows what a strong (not OP) tank can do when the people you are facing have no idea what they are doing. Not only is it not that hard to frontally pen the KV-7 (driver port or just above the tracks is 75mm) it is also really easy to track it and make it unable to do anything
Player A has to hit a tiny cutting tray sized spot to have a chance at winning.
Player B can shoot pretty much anywhere and win, and btw can has three chances to get a single good shot.
Who wins?
Either way, my point still stands. If a tank or player is OP, the only good way to truly level the playing field is with CAS. Even then the chances of CAS succeeding are low.
THat is if they want it immediately. I don’t play that BR often but my way of dealing with KV-7s (not that I really see many) is to take out the tracks because I have the tank and know how annoying it is tom have them taken out
Yes it is more expensive.
What i mean is don’t get the increased cost if you first spawn IR and then want to spawn laser.
Only increase it when you want to spawn the same kind of weapons.
Depends. Is there enemy SPAA up? Are there enemy planes up? Is it in urban map? Is the enemy tank sentient (uses cover instead of sitting out in the open perfectly still to be bombed)?
There’s pretty good chances that just finding a diff match or spawning an SPG/Light tank is more worth it.
You also needa consider what happens after you bomb him. If you were in a tank, you can just kill more tanks. Since you’re in a plane, you needa waste 3-5 minutes returning to AF for a single kill.
If I’m playing Kv-7 and I die to a Hetzer or Jagdpanzer 4, spawning an IL-8 could work, however there could be enemy planes that aren’t rendered, or an enemy plane could spawn immediately after me, or the Hetzer could be in an odd spot that requires a second pass risking SPAA fire, and even then the Hetzer could just dodge the bomb and now I’m just a slow heavy plane that needs to take 5 minutes just to rearm . . . an SU-152 does not need to worry about any of that.
Alternatively, a flat 1.5x increase on spawning any second plane.
This isn’t a straight 1v1. There’s 15 other players to consider, and a plane is far more vulnerable to SPAA and CAP than a tank is to another tank.
Destroying one singular tank under ideal circumstances is easier in CAS than in a tank, however destroying 5 or 10 tanks in a tank is easier than doing so in a plane.
no not really. I typically just ignore planes.
If the skies are clear, then yes it’s easier for a plane. If there’s any enemy planes up, or any enemy SPAA, or your target is sentient, or there’s strange map geometry, then taking a tank is easier with the added bonus of getting more than just one or two kills.
Maybe at top tier where SPAA can deal with whole battlefield, at lower tiers SPAAs effective range is very limited and as an air unit You can always choose the target You want to bomb/fight.
An air unit is vulnerable to other ait unit or spaa while a tank is vulnerable to all not to mention that when it comes to air it can’t fight it back. With F8F-1B, You can always fight back after dropping bombs.
If You die faster than any appear or You are not a target of it, sure. I can’t ignore 1000kg bomb that is being slamed into me with a kamikaze air unit.
Taking a tank is easier if there is no enemy air up that will target You and enemies that have better ground units are worse than You as they allow You to destroy them with far worse tank.
If you’re in a plane, and there’s an enemy plane he will attack you. If you’re in a tank, and there’s an enemy plane, there’s statistically a 1/16th chance of you being his target, and even lower if you’re playing in cover.
You don’t needa cover the whole map. You just needa sit in the path a plane flies.
If you’re behind a teammate, and a plane tries to bomb him, then he will have to fly directly over you.
If you’re better at bombing than you are at tanks, then 👍
If you’re tryna imply that I’m skilled enough to get 5 kills then leave the match before CAS spawns, then you’re way overestimating me. It’s not uncommon that it takes the whole match to hit the 5 kill threshold.
Taking a tank is far easier than taking a plane if there’s enemy CAS/CAP up.
It does if you get unlucky and spawn the side of the map where 0 enemies spawned.
I typically play out the whole match without dying, or with 1 or 2 deaths. It seems like you’re the only one who’s really having issues fighting planes.
It really is. I have first hand experience playing WT.
A perfect player is the best inditacor as he understands all advantages and disadvantages of the vehicle, not only starting to understand the pros of having short-stab on shermans ;)
