Free SPAAs are too powerful

Because he should have accepted that before spawning. Or adding it into his lineup or any deciding to play it.

And this should have been balanced by lowering open tops’ BR, making them better in G2G engagements. Failing to do so should be considered a G2G design flaw.

It literally costs 70sp. It should not be stronger than 700-900sp vehicles.

I think this can make some of them powerful while not solving issue of revenge bombers which are present at many brs. Plus where would devs put stuff like scorpion?
What actually should be changed is kill cams and 3d markers updating real time. Those encourage revenge bombing and should be reworked/removed imo. Without them players would spend some time searching, choosing and planning careful approach on targets instead of dive bombing on marker or position of their killer just for that “eye for eye” medal.

imo, the only scout/hit markers that should be shown to CAS is scouted/marked SPAA.

While we’re at it, hits from CAS shouldn’t create markers either. There’s already a literal beacon of tracers descending upon you from the heavens.

So never use open-top vehicles because someone after getting around 100 SP can destroy You… right, this is how game should work!

The only design flaw is that someone can spawn a vehicle, a person in a tank can’t do anything about while in a tank.

Yikes! Situational awareness will go a long way.

So no one should be using open tops.

Good to hear from someone needing to hide behind alt account.

No? You can still play open tops just be aware that planes may focus and shred you. Just played 3 battles on sweden 3.7 sav: 8, 6 and 8 kills. I was playing stealthy and avoided being focused by planes.

Just like someone can spawn pgz09, igla shilka, ozelot, gepard a2, machbet, imp chapparal, santal, sidam mistral and send missile / tracerless rounds at you while you are flying in a4b or any other aircraft without flares or rwr so you have no idea if there is serious threat and if that threat is already coming for you.

Or someone could spawn 2s38 or any other tracerless pf slinger and if you have no guided weaponry you are pretty much screwed.

You can either play those vehicles knowing there is risk of facing above mentioned things or you can avoid playing those vehicles. Game always gives you a choice.

I don’t play CAS, I’m not a sky coward

I use tanks in ground battle, I don’t spent all my game in the sky and finishing a game with 12 kills because CAS are op

“Look at me, I’m so much more moral than you cause I don’t use (x) overpowered feature!”

It’s definitely cause I’m a better person and not because I suck at using it and want it nerfed for everyone else that can use it better than me.

A10A Late (10.7) costs 900 sp in uptier to 11.3. So your task will be getting 900 sp by capping one point. No need to have aircraft just record reaching that sp count with 1 cap.

Feature.

With higher SP and low ammo

Excellence of the feature. Some people simply can’t accept asymmetric combat.

I see, you’re just incapable of making conclusions and thinking straight. You’re not even arguing with me, you’re arguing with someone else you made up for yourself.

They do and if you can’t use them and struggle/get upset as you clearly do - it’s a huge skill issue on your part.
You’re also picking jets that I played mostly in ARB to try and statshame me for?
You have your stats only with a dedicated undertiered ground attackers like SU-25BM and AV-8B. Which each have at least 4 FnF one click munitions. And the only one that you somehow managed to exceed a kd of 3 somehow is su-25bm and it is 1)rusian 2)sits on the one if not the most broken ru dominated br.

You can still play it but there are going to be enemies who You can’t do anything about, right.

It is like saying that playing open-top has no real point.

You mean something You can see?

Not to mention that You can determine by what B.R. battle has, what You are going to face?

If You don’t pay attention, sure.

When It comes to open top, no matter if You know that someone has spawned the air if You are already in a vehicle there is nothing You can do.

For someone who wants to use the air, sure but for someone who wants to enjoy certain vehicle not so much.

So why not give people immortality for „x” SP?

Even battlefield gives players weapons to deal with air all around the map, not to mention servers with no vehicles.

Said by an alt account, Yea.

If ones need to hide, he is the one embarassed.

Is that “someone else” in same room with us? Its just you and me mate.

New excuses. Okay, go on and change that number to higher value in grb. Also 117 air kills / 474 deaths seems rather curious for “played mostly in arb”

Id advice you to wipe “russian bias” or whatever it is from your eyes. 4 kd on a10a late at 10.7.

Oh but there are lightly armoured targets like ifvs, light tanks, and SPAA that all can be killed with even 20mm cannons via planes strafing them. The SPAA you claim to be so good and overpowered literally cannot engage ground targets at all.

Not dying to something you cant counter in a tank anymore is pretty great, but now me bringing my own spaa is useless, not only will i get fewer kills, but I get one for free anyways.

Yes and it works both ways.

It isnt. There is risk but you can still play and perform pretty well. And decrease risk by changing position and trying to be less predictable for pilots.

You should know that tanks dont render at all from few kilometers. While spaa can see you all the way from 10 km thanks to their radar (and you wont get rwr ping because no rwr). And send missile from 5 km. Or even 8 km if roland shows up. And from that point you cant really do much because you either guide bullpups and die or dodge missiles for rest of battle and also die sooner or later. Mclos cant do much against saclos and ir.

Okay, I see 100 sp on xm800t, I determined that its 9.7 battle and I can face ir missiles and roland. In a subsonic jet without ccip/ccrp/rwr/flares and 3 mclos missiles.

If 2s38 player focuses on aa job they will always hear, see, give t-6-1 marker long before you will see them and even while you are flying behind cover.

You can always hide and go into positions which are unlikely to be looked at by planes.

What if I enjoy certain air vehicle in grb? Or it isnt allowed to enjoy because its air?

Vast majority of planes isnt immortal and can be dealth with.

Mbts are much more common. And almost every ifv / light tank has tracking and lead indicator. Strafing them especially without gun ccip and with 23/13 mm pen at 500/1000m range might be bad idea. Same about spaa, gl strafing 2s6, gepard a2, sidam mistral or shilka m4.

Almost every single spaa with autocannon (or missile with some tnt) can engage ground and will be better at that than colt. 2a38m, oerlikon 35, lav ad gun, hydra pod, otomatic gun and other things are much better at killing ground than colts or sometimes even ifvs autocannons. I have never seen f5c (or even conventional tank) getting 10-12 kills in around a minute after spawning (which is case for 35mm spaa).

Pool of free spaa does not include more advanced spaa systems like iris t, mamba, claws, sky sabre, hq11 etc. So you still have to grind them. And some stock spaa are much worse than their spaded version. Stingers without prox fuse are just joke. Stock missile on asrad has 7 km range so strike drones have some window to send their missiles. Lav ad gets no hydra pod and worse belt. Gepard a2 gets worse belt and no apds, lvkv9040 gets no prox fuse round. Otomatic gets no sabot shots. They just lose their key features.
