Free SPAAs are too powerful

Pantsir should be taken out of free spaa pool, that’s it. It’s an equivalent or sometimes even a better alternative to new multi-vehicle SAMs, that’s just common sense.

How would they remove it from being free? Would they just take it out of the game?

I tried a free spawn OSA a couple days ago, and all took to farm kills was just click on an “enemy” tab the PPI, right-click to fire, and that’s literally it. Everything else is automated. PPI was such a dumb change, along with free SPAA.

Even launching mavericks ATLEAST requires paying attention.

Chinese and South African ones got br increase as well before

They were actually stronger than the other Gepards though. XM246 isn’t.

They should just give be them spotting.

CAS players destroying everything: they should remove free SPAA and replace them by a soldier with a rifle so we can continue to destroy everything

Would be nice if they just cap free spaa to gun only AA, if people had free shilkas and gepards at top tier they would at least try to kill tanks and cap points. Would also fill in as a SHORAD to cover for multi vehicle AA that can’t kill close range stuff.

gepard spam at 13.0

It’s so hard to have a plane, capping one point with a light tank and you can spend the rest of the game with multiple planes…

Just a damn joke

Some1 just get CASed. :D

You are either lying or being clueless. Would like to see you reaching 500-1000 sp (a2a - ir guided a2g weaponry cost range) just by capping one point.

Waiting video where you get multiple planes with single cap. Thats around 1000-1200 sp in total (a2a+a2a or cheap a2g + a2a).

Bigger joke is that class that requires basically no points and can be spawned even by 2-3 death loser requires less skill to kill planes than basic a2a loadout plane for 500+ sp.

Now that’s rich, coming from a CAS advocate.
Yea, they’re cheap, but there’s a catch. You can’t engage tanks almost in any of them. You’re useless on the battlefield aside from killing damn planes. And what you gonna do if your machine is bad at it as well? “Oh I spawned here just to smell a weiner and die” - now that’s a CAS user general line. Not SPAA player one, aside from Pantsir. You know what SPAAs lack compared to planes? A 90% of the map where they can run to safety and you wouldn’t be able to reach them. A zone where they can repair/restock in peace. A third damn plane they can utilize to move. A speed advantage. A GNSS rockets (at least for now). For so much disparity they have only two advantages, first one is of having a higher engagement reaction speed and the second one is a spawn cost. That’s still unfair I know, but for them, not for you. Have a problem? - I’ll give you a piece of an actual advice coming from the deepest part of my heart with all due respect - git gud.
A free pantsir, however, is a whole another song to listen to (and cut your own ears). It is unfair, but not towards planes, it’s unfair towards every single other nation in the game. They have TOR, they should get TOR as a free SPAA. I’m getting a damn OSA, because I have flarakrad in my line up. That’s just simply unfair advantage over everyone else. And I don’t see enough uproar about this particular problem, which is bumming me out for a while already.

Just like fighters on high tiers, shocker. F5c’s colts and aim9e (without cannon ccip btw) will be as useful as 95ya6 or vt1 versus tanks. Because their job is dealing with planes. The difference is that one requires some skill to spawn and operate.

Spawn fighter jet or strike aircraft with good missile? Both f5c and su25bm (with r73 at 10.7) can reliably deal with air. But oh, they require player to do smth on ground first.

Aside from pantsir, strela and pretty much every spaa which can delete your ir agms which cost 900 sp and then delete more ir agms after you reload by just few clicks.

By the time maverick reaches it, spaa can get behind any house, bunker etc.

They can repair and reload everywhere including places with cover. Also airfield isnt as safe and peaceful as you think. Enemy can easily disassemble you with tv/ir agm, ir aam or just cannons. Grb airfield is still protected by some ww2 guns, not crotales or rolands.

As soon as sam spawns, that dimension basically gets removed because you either fly at tree level or die.

Over sam? Sure but gl outsmarting aim9x on su25t/tm with your “speed”

Those gnss rockets that become useless as soon as target moves (gnss isnt implemented to ir agms rn). Sure I guess? But do they need it when they have ir/arh seekers which can keep tracking even after losing los or radar lock?

Someone is conviniently forgetting that even 1 70sp can casually eraze all your 4-6 ir mavs for 900sp. So even if you dodge and live you basically waste all your efforts and time. Thats literally what happens almost every time I spawn av8b na and try to help my team from air by deleting enemies they struggle with (like bmpt): I see s1, irs (taxes service), snl (even snail is after me), abl on rwr and even if I dodge they just shoot down my missiles. So all I can do is either waste my time or hunt for rare jets or drones if I get to them before friendly spaa does. Or hunt spaa with jdams (which not all planes get btw) but it doesnt really aid my team.

I have 2-4 ground kd on my most played jets. I think you should utilize that advice to at least raise ground kd on your tornado and f4 ice from 0.8 and 1 to at least 2.

Okay they get free tor but sweden gets free crotale which is obv better than tor so this will be unfair towards soviets and non sweden/france players. And it will be even worse if sweden and china can get free cs/sa5 and elde98 (havent tested that so this one is purely hypothetical unless someone confirms it). You can keep downgrading those till everyone has free igla/stinger slinger so it is fair for everyone MAYBE.

Holy mother of toilet paper rolls you just posted.
You’re so dillusional, damn.

Than it’s not a CAS plane, just don’t spawn it, are you insane?

That take is so bad that I’m not even gonna address it.

And then they run out of ammo, but you just go back and reload? The only reliable munition interceptor you mentioned is pantsir. Let alone even damn strela requires more skill to shoot down munition than you slinging it, lol.

What about any other munition? Bombs exist, you know. And what it achieves by hiding? Giving you an opportunity window? Very interesting balancing take, I’m deaf just for you.

They have no cover, because you can adjust your z axis.

You’re only in danger if someone decided that you’re dying and has a plane. Good riddance.

First, maybe use literally any other advantage you have to outsmart it? Second:
{EDCC8DE4-17A5-4382-9787-D12BF70CA958}
Aim-9x is 2 br steps above.

That’s why we’re still getting su-34’s slinging 38MLs from the airfield? Oh, okay. Skill issue.

You’re dishonest on purpose? 600 of that is for your plane’s body. So it’s at best a 50sp missile. That you’re not even controlling anymore btw… And can rearm easily… And there’s only a couple of SPAAs capable of stable munition interception, you’re not running into them all the time.

So you found the tornado, that I tried to play after introduction of pantsir and ICE that only has 2 maverics and I have a “pantsirschrek” loadout with 3x20mm vulcans for to point at? Those are commonly known trash planes and I’m not playing them even once anymore. Aside from ICE, it’s at least funny.

Tor is on par with crotale aside from head on engagements. Tor is getting AESA as a locking radar and multilaunch capability AFAIK.

LIteral cripple.

Tornado is capable of evading those missiles. It’s only fairly good as a munition interceptor. Food.

They can have it I don’t mind. I can evade those without looking at the screen, sound is enough, lol.

Man… Don’t you have a brother going by a nickname TIGER_TANK? I can see a resemblance in how bad your takes are. Consider thinking. Skill issue on your part.

ME 262 MK 108 vs Skink.

wow… fielding open top on a desert map with no cover while planes are up? … that is a bold move. I would not expect to live long doing that.

Yup. Auto cannon SPAA should get a big nerf bat imo. It really ruins that 8.0-10.0 br range.

Because he should have known that before spawning… right

Can’t wait for people to know the fututre

I love to hear the truth from someone hiding behind fake account.
