Uhm no, in real life, planes only fly high if they are stealth, out of SAM range, or enviroments with no anti-air treaths (like insurgents).
In real life theres a lot of examples of aircrafts getting shot down for flying high: the F117 in serbia, Mi-24 and AH-64 downed by manpads, Su-34 having to fly low to avoid PATRIOT missiles, etc.
If in the battlefield an anti-air its present, you either use stealth planes, or use long range munitions (like israel did with the Rampage or other cruise missiles, which often use GPS guidance). Or just fly low.
Not to get into current irl situations but its also proven in the current irl situation going on, flying low is proven to be better long term for survivability and accomplishing the objective (also proven in other irl situations throughout the years)
U know what would be cool. Bird, a lot of birds fly at low alt, maybe once day Gaijin can add them and jets/props would end up ramming them causing engine failures lol Doubt it though since it involves a death of an animal…just a cool realistic idea.
Its very rare the cases of birds crashing with low flying aircrafts, because they fly away from them. Only common cases are with airline planes that fly high.
Flying never means flying high, if we are talking about military planes instead of civilian planes. I already said the examples.
You forgot to mention modern weaponry, yeah planes are old but weapons like spice 250 or KH-38 are very near era to the new spaa. Not even that old because we are recieving things like rafale or j10c.
They are easily killable why you guys talking about pantsir like its the most broken thing at its BR. OhNo :( IcAnT fLy iN StRaToSpHeRe AnD Do OrBiTaL sTrIkEs On TaNkS GAIJIN FIX!!! cry
To be fair, these guys did let me get my kill highscore on su25bm. 14 kills. 3 sams tried to revenge but 1 kh29te turned them into vapor.
What I love about them is that they are mostly incompetent and dont have basic spaa binds like swapping target or search mode.
US missing new plane weapons its a known issue, war thunder is going to add it later, like the other nations recieved spice 250 this update, us will get the gbu 53 later.
Flarakrad / otomatic - pop smoke, change position, eliminate missiles going for teammates. Smoke - select target - lock - fire - select target - lock - fire. Same for adats but you will have to find missile going for you.
Tor iirc got radar which highlights all sorts of stuff at once + 2 guidance modes including auto one. And mavericks are two times slower than soviet missiles. Same algoritm I mentioned above.
Hardest part is finding extra space on keyboard for spaa binds.
Flarak can guide 1 missile at a time, when you already destroyed 2 KH-38, the other 2 will be so close that it will be impossible to intercept. Also smokes wont save you from big splash damage, not even hiding behind houses.
Agm-65 a little easier, but trying to hide and shoot down these missile, you will not have an opportunity to shoot down the plane (that will go back to rearm and repeat until you ran out of missiles)
