Ground Sim battles became ridiculous at high levels

as per the title, the situation in high level sims is very serious, you can’t go 100m before a missile arrives from CAS because there are players who use planes right at the start of the game. we need to better regulate the possibility of using CAS otherwise the first spawns of land vehicles are literally a free kill

learn to use Smoke, idk

Your answer is very useless, since it neither solves the problem nor limits it. you can’t do much with fire-and-forget missile spam, and if you’re an MBT you can do very little if you don’t have anti-missile systems. furthermore, if the spam arrives as soon as the match starts and you don’t know where the enemy plane is coming from, you can do relatively little, because not everyone has the will to start the match with an anti-aircraft

Yeah, I agree with you, Top tier sim cas is unfair more than anywhere else

This is going to be a very unpopular comment but it also highlights the lack of teamwork in War Thunder. You can take jets/helicopters as much as they can.

Before I start a match I always check the team composition before spawning in. If there’s no air on our side I’ll choose a fighter to try and keep the airspace safe.

I’d rather potentially win the match and get some SL than lose the match with barely any RP or SL for my current tank because I was too stubborn to play the team game.

As far as anti-aircraft goes you are out ranged by everything but maybe the pantsir and NATO has nothing at that level. So, as a person who tries to bring AA out, I can normally only get 1 or 2 then the missiles or bombs come in. 12.7 now is just Air Sim with ground targets that move. But always spawn in the same place. only thing that could help now without adding better anti air is going to be massive maps for aircraft to take off from like in air sim. With the ground vehicles in the center so there is some time for the ground battle to progress.

Bigger ground combat zones (10km x 10km and/or BIGGER ground vehicle zones) would help make A2G not as abusive… Which is what many of the Sim only players, both air and ground, have been asking Gaijin to create FOR YEARS.

agreed

Top tier sim summed up: KH28 and Eurofighters mess you up

You 100% can avoid cas in sim. It is the EASIEST mode to avoid cas in. If devs listen to you, they will ruin this game further. Jets are MAJORLY vulnerable in sim, kill them.

I think you play another game if you wrote such a thing

by the time you hear the jet you are already dead and you would be foolish and dead if you go around scanning the sky all the time. No denying it is just an unfair battle. I say seperate the three modes and make it exclusive

Good thing you can react preemptively as opposed to entirely reactionary. To be clear, avoiding being hit from the air involves things like smoke and angling yourself between or next to buildings to prevent sight lines from the air. Sitting in an open field will result in your death and it will be your fault.

Some maps leaves you in open spots in thr majority of the map.
As a heli enjoyer tanks are free kills at certain maps as the spawns is completely open
