that’s what im saying
Just don’t sit in the open. This seriously isn’t complicated. Or even better, sit in the open, bait em to launch, then return to cover. You don’t needa defeat the missile, you just needa defeat the player.
That should be very easy for someone like you, considering yall always talk abt how bad “CAS mains” are.
Then what are you doing in an SPAA discussion?
Aaa yes, taking a tiny portion of my comment, how typical 😂. Because i play the game like everyone else? Im allowed to speak my opinions about the subject, whether people agree or not
Its wack. Idk how people are getting toptier spaa. It feels completely random for some people. Ive seen a guy with just a toptier jet and rank 3 tanks get toptier spaa for free

And no one needs to listen to you. No one should listen to you on this topic because you simply lack relevant experience.
Lack experience? I own toptier in 2 nations. I use spaa often, just not compared to using a jet to deal with cas, fighting jets with a jet is more effective sometimes, especially if they’re sticking low where most missiles wont hit.
As someone who uses cas pretty often among multiple brs and has well over 4k hours on the game, i know what im talking about
The same could be said for CAS, dont fly high. CAS has terrain advantage, if he spam flares can even fool manpads, and at low altitudes can dodge radar missiles like the BUK or CLAWS’s Aim-120.
When actually CAS players just can spam FnF munitions to saturate spaa, because CAS has infinite ammo not like spaa. This actually happened to me, when a Mi-28NM just kept spamming LMURs and I had to use all my missiles and ammo box with the SPYDER.

For now I will leave you with this video on how to use CAS. Notice how its only 1 chopper against like 4 or more spaas.
When I have the time, gonna record another video of CAS but in top tier.

It ain’t too powerful. If anything it ain’t powerful enough lmao
We’ve been complaining about CAS for years now and now we can finally level the playing field and the CAS tears are delicious. Keep crying.

Congrats, youre a god who can effortlessly deal with any and all enemies no matter how strong.
Warthunder isn’t balance for tryhards, however, it’s balanced for your average player. Your average player makes mistakes sometimes (crazy concept I know). CAS harahly punishes making mistakes, SPAAA doesn’t.
Planes are meant to fly, their munitions are optimized for high altitude, and flying low is insanely easy to counter anyways.
SPAA needs to be extremely incompetent to die to a low alt strafing/bombing/rocket run.
CAS is limited by having to fly back to AF, SPAA is not. SPAA can also just brainlessly spam missiles due to short match lengths and ammo boxes.
Good video btw

Thats only for bombs, if you shoot a missile at low altitude with you nose a little high, it will kill the enemy.
Many times I killed ground units with the german F-4F with zuni rockets, just play with your terrain.
Depends, things like KH38, KH29 or even AGM-65 have such long range you will not get so far from the airfield. I even see people cleaning ground with the GPS KH38.
Im not a tryhard at all, i suck at the game. I often go negative in matches, i maybe put 50 hours per month sometimes more into war thunder. I’ve just played the game long enough to know how to counter things, also I’ve accepted advice from others who still actively play the game, especially at toptier. Since its not my main br currently due to grinding other nations.
You get to a point where you need to accept advice on these things, watch some videos on spaa, tanks and everything else or you’ll suffer more until you learn from it.
Spaa doesnt have unlimited ammo boxes, missiles etc. Eventually you’ll need to place yourself on a cap to keep rearming. Which isnt always possible, also making yourself a bigger target for tanks and planes.
I also have this clip, with even spaa active, the CAS owned us. Even I had some issues intercepting munitions and even playing with smoke.
NEVERMIND THE REPLAY GOT DELETED
God this forum is insufferable when it comes to talking about CAS and SPAA, people should either talk about actual ways to make a proper rock-paper-scissors balance around things or gtfo and make your own thread about a tank only mode… Mods should clean this nonsense

I would like you guys show us how you play CAS against SPAA (VIDEOS). I suspect you are not playing it properly.
After all I will show you my proofs.
No you really don’t. Any half sentient SPAA player can get by with just ammo boxes. Even if you do somehow run out, you can just respawn. You lose nothing, SPAA is extremely underpriced.

That might be true but sitting in spaa half the match isnt fun just for 1-3 kills compared to playing a tank
Its also funny how the free SPAA of the USSR is the Pantsir and not the 2S6 while everyone else is stuck with ADATS or VT1, totally an arbitrary choice…

Adats its okay but at actual toptier 12.7+ its annoying, especially given the free spaa is normally something way worse
