This would normally be true if people would play the objective. But with the amount of constant spawn rushing that takes place in GB there is usually enemies way ahead of the rest of their group.
And this is exactly why they are bomb magnets. If you stay in the smoke the bomb gets you, if you leave the smoke after firing it, since you have given the pilots a specific area to look in, your are quickly spotted.
Also, while you can still technically radar lock a plane through a smoke cloud, you still have to have the plane in the “lock box” while trying to lock it, and how easy is it to lock a constantly moving target when you cant see it?
Also the smoke negates your ability to use IRST locks as in game it heat block you as well as them.
I have proven that the 40mm HEVT shell was being tested at BOFORS while the VEAK prototype was also there. But Gaijin being Gaijin this isnt enough and they want direct proof it fired the shell directly.
Unlike what they did with the ammo given to the T 34 100…
You can try, lets have a solo to show your pitiful skill, as I said, you can choose any planes at this BR, compared to those high BR SPAA like zsu23-4m4 or STANAL, M247 or PGZ09 are still powerful. You just except every CAS player must to be like TOP GUN pilots and SPAA just need stay at home and wait
To kinda chime in, isn’t the proper way to play tanks like the m247 to just wait for the plane to strafe on a target then light them up? Or fire bursts of like 5 at freshly spawned targets. Havn’t used the 247 that much, but the 2s38 and oto alot.
It is a genuine skill issue, especially since the effective range of all the SPAA you named is maybe 4-4.5km, shooting/launching at a target flying straight that is. CAS can easily throw bombs outside of that range even without any CCIP you will have the upper hand if you even know the slightest how to counter them. The SPAA really aren’t all that mighty and unkillable my guy.
Bro have you ever used that? Even helis on the ground or on the AF can still be reported, now I am really confused and doubt did I really waste time to argue with a guy who doesn’t even know how did this works.
Veak40 was good, and that’s why so many people try to let him die and lose HEVT belts.
Yes you can throw them, but tell me how to just use your eyes to find these SPAAs, which far from 4km, even 2-3 km? Do you have a 100-inch screen? Or are you using some software to help you find? That could be pretty interesting, and of course, till 9.0 there are still at least 50% planes doesn’t have CCIP or CCRP
If you arent going to take the time to learn and be better at CAS, do your team a favor and dont play CAS.
Its that simple dude. Radar systems were more easily developed for ground base systems than they were for air at first, which is why the SPAA has better radar at this BR than the planes.
And this also just goes to show you dont care about getting better at the game, you just want it easier for you. If, instead of demanding 1v1s, you had asked to set up a custom with a few people her to help figure out the blind spots of the SPAA, and or the best way to approach specific maps, Im sure a few of us here would have been keen to help.
But as it is, you clearly have the mentality that the game should just be easier for you just because.
You will really only effectively get kills on helis and like you said targets strafing that are focused on a single guy or people not having a care in the world flying straight at the battlefield thinking they are invincible. Outside of 2 or maybe 3km its all hopes and prayers when the enemy knows what they are doing and maneuver and dont fly straight at you/another guy
Look like the topic creator guy is from Asia.
The crap internet coming out of there is probably what is causing his issues.
Asia, Russia, and Korea need their own servers again. Trying to play this game with a high ping, as what happens when playing from Asia as it all runs through a VPN, and expect it to run smoothly and track your shots accurately is just impossible.
Clearly you dont know how it works. Other aircraft and Helis can call out air targets as well as tanks…
You, and people like you, are the reason why this game has drastically gone down hill the last few years. Instead of learning to do better, you are all “nerf this, nerf that because its too difficult for me!”
The VEAK 40 wasnt just good, It was utterly broken at its BR let alone in a down tier game. Instead of removing the HEVT rounds they should have just moved it up to 9.0 or 9.3.
You still no dare to even try that, and also ignore how planes suffer from them, 1v1 is already the simplest and easiest way for CAS players, but unfortunately, you don’t even have that courage or skills to do that, I must be insane by wasting my sleep time to argue with a guy who doesn’t aware the basic knowledge of SPAAs
And you are still showing your ignorance. Im just pointing out facts, not my fault your head is too far up a dark hole to listen.
The heli is only spotted because someone, somewhere, has a line of sight to it.
Im sorry you cant understand thats how radio communication works, which your crews have a skill for, and most all tanks at that BR all have radios in them.
If you arent going to learn the mechanics of the game correctly go play World of Tanks instead.
If you arent going to take the time to learn and be better at using a bt5 to kill leopards, do our community a favor and dont let leos be highter than 1.7.
