If the ‘Fighters First’ concept was implemented, all defensive measures would be equally accessible.

People would still play garbage CAS because its easier to drop bombs on slow moving targets , that to sweat yourself in a fighter .
But I agree AA weaponry should be super cheap on planes / helis . But Giajin does not want that lets have a look at KA50 :
Your options :
- take 2 iglas , to fight air
- or maybe 16 vihrs ? to kill ground ?
Its obvious that noone will take igla , Gaijin is just CAS lover and they like it the way it is .
Look how long we are asking for another mode , they dont care .

Now someone will say its REALISTIC that it takes only 2 iglas .
So lets be realistic , f16 costs 63milion , Abrams 10 milions USD , so Plane bare stock w/o any equipment should cost 6x more than a tank to spawn. Same for helis which are around 50mil , so 500 SP at least. Problem solved.
Than you have true high risk high reward gameplay , instead of CAS spam you have now.
No one takes Igla in Ka-50 because Vikhrs have a proximity fuse
it’s also only 12
not 16
“OK” Only 12
To borrow what I wrote in another thread:
Looking for balance of any sort at top tier is a snipe hunt.
Something is always cranked at top tier.

Answering in parts:
[quote=“warrior412, post:450, topic:44034”] Lmao, the comedy…
- Aircraft account for only ~10% of tank deaths [/quote]
Not that surprising, seeing all the 1DLs happening.
Any helicopter can land on most capzones. Many aircraft have longer ranged weapons than most SPAAs and even SAMs.
When you can kill half a team with just one bomb, who cares? You just need to scout well enough and maybe cap something to get into a plane.
Game seems to me quite balanced if not CAS and Heli`s

Aircraft = fixed wing aircraft and helicopters
While helicopters do have the theoretical capability to capture zones, they are sitting ducks while doing so and only exist at certain BRs.
Aircraft have no practical capture capability to speak of and the long range weapons you reference only exist at much later BRs.
Half a team? Not every bomb is a FAB-5000 and killing half a team with even that would be a stretch.
Half of one’s own team is about as likely.

Certain nations are favored to win at top tier strictly because of GFs…and similar tales have persisted for years.
Top tier is inevitably imbalanced–aircraft there are no different as part of it.

Lets us have separete mode w/o cAS , I`m happy to play in that imbalanced environment , not being spawn farmed by CAS / Helis

Several nations have had excessively favorable odds over the years, yes.
I’m not opposed to TO, though I’m not sure it’ll be all what some think and discussion around it seems to have died down.
All things have been said and poll made showed that people would like to see it.

I dont play low tier anymore but this is just retarded what you can do with planes being completely safe.

Discussion of it seems to have died down regardless of whatever poll you’re talking about.

As everything was said there is no point in further discussing the same things over and over again.

You’re confused…I was talking about the TO thread, which doesn’t seem to have seen anything recently.
I’m just pointing that out, don’t howl at me…
