High tier CAS problem

It’s more than fine as you’re forced to do that in the current state of the game to prevent FnF slingers from launching.

Or to teach people to auto quit against russia or on maps with zero spawn cover

or 1dl

Goodness, how many tanks do you take into battle. I only have 6 crews. Never opened up any further …

CAS at 10.7 is okay’ish. Going beyond this, it is ridiculous. You cannot even spawn before getting hit by some EF2000 jockey.

CAS at 10.7 is barely acceptable, most complaining about CAS comes from 10.7 since im grinding it right now, but the planes at top tier are absurd, and if attacted directly, even the pantsir has problems not dying to missile spam. letalone a non-pantsir SPAA.

its as easy as jumping into russia, playing for a few minutes, then getting the KA-50 and youre probably going to get a few free zero skill kills. also specifically with helis like the KA-50 (for the direct-fire missiles) its comically easy eating missiles from SPAAs and then killing them, they simply cant do anything even if they do go as far as to spawn that anti air which usually doesnt happen in the first place

its a standard size lineup but youre probably gonna have to shell out some real life dollars for GE to buy the slots

No, don’t think I am going to do it ;-)

CAS between 10.0-10.7 can be handle by spaa like Strela, Osa and 2s6m without problem but against anything above 10.7 CAS is become a real problem and is not skill issue but facing fast CAS.

Those cannot really reliably kill A-10A with 65Ds.
Helicopters are a problem as well.

Roland platforms, Rapier, etc are better than the Strela as well.

@gangsterism
If the Kamov is lucky that Type 81, TOR-M1, ASRAD, HQ17, Osa, or to a lesser extent Rapier didn’t spawn to frag it.

Have to disagree on this one Alvis. It’s not because the missile sucks, it’s because of the general nature of SACLOS guidance. Strela while lacking any meaningful spotting mechanism asides from T-6-1 is somewhat better because it is FnF in exchange for range and poorer anti heli performance

these antiairs dont handle CAS that well, and most importantly nobody spawns them. russia has a competent SPAA at that BR (2s6) but at the same time, its russia who spawns KA-50 and removes all strelas and other weak SPAAs. other nations dont have equally competent lineups, SPAAs nor CAS aircraft.

NATO has superior CAS at 10.7, and Ka-50 is 11.3 which means: HQ17, Osa [3 tech trees outside Soviets, and ASRAD all are capable of dealing with Ka-50.

For longer ranges Osa should actually be better than 2S6.

doesnt matter whether NATO has superior CAS at 10.7 when all CAS is superior to ground vehicles.
all the other higher BR AAs still struggle with a ka-50 unless the player is bad and is just floating up in the air easy to shoot down. even pantsir struggles with a competent ka-50 player, the only advantage is the 12 missiles.

for longer ranges yes but the missile launcher is awkward, useless at close range, no machine gun and its on wheels

Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I play Z10 and carry 16 TY90s. At the beginning of the game, I go to the opposite airport to find a valley grove or house area to ambush, which can effectively reduce the CAS in the sky
