People are adapting to fast games so that planes that spawns 2min after the start have to care about (if not taking the most defensive reactions, according to all cas haters)
*at least around 10.x-ish BR where I usually play now
yes This is a major logical problem of the game, similar to spawn camp prob, that those who did well can have a further advantage. By this people will overestimate cas power when they see teams that spawn no SPAA being slaughtered by the worst cas, in the case of 9.x 10.x brs
Hope that there may be at least ONE plane spawning.
Or try to have fun at the front line, making stat shamers laugh
Indeed
For me I would have dedicated spaa members, 3 free spawns of SPAA (others can still spawn spaa) and still with the sp system. CAP sp should be lowered/ or change br, and CAS to have more changes accordingly. I don’t see any advantage of going on a plane at 9.x 10.x brs anyways
This is me with my saab105g. At low tiers people barely (if at all) move their spaa from spawn. I got a ccip with saab105 and there were times I got direct hits on spaa from about 2k alitude and 4km distance. Just put the reticle on em and press space. They just don’t move
As I’m spading the crews in russian, I’m playing with premium T-34-85 and spit to speed up the proccess. As I have died in T-34-85, I saw an 2S1 camping on the hill near the spawn on poland and bombed it (time 3:07). The player I have bombed spawned in SPAA and up untill 10:53 tried to shot me down. He even tried to hide from me and change locations, but I just needed to wait for proper moment to destroy him after I took care of his teammates in planes (that too spawned in SPAA and were unable to kill me). After I have killed him in SPAA, he spawned in M109 and tried to use it as SPAA, he even shot down one plane! But after I bombed him while he was distracted by another player, he just j-outed as there was nothing he could do (probably should spray him to get a kill, but I understand why he did that).
He would have much more chance and probably would succed if he only spawned in a plane first to take care of me while I would be trying to get rid of his teammates in plane, but he choose an SPAA that didn’t give him much of a chance.
I’d kinda want you to record a match like this to be able to cite it towards people claiming SPAA is “OP” or even stands an adequate chance against WW2 fighter-bombers using proper flying.
I’ve been tempted to give it a try in GSB with my hellcat or corsairs, but my aim with bombs leaves things to be desired (I need a better rudder control setup than my ±3% per press digital input) and I’m too lazy to give it proper practice (although attempts do demonstrate that in GSB (and presumably GRB), the approach of “fly at 1.5-2km altitude and circle like a vulture” works just fine for still being able to spot player-tanks. When I went to check in custom battles with markers, it looks like player tanks easily render out to 4km range no problem (altho may require using Z to not confuse them for terrain features) on Sands of Sinai with my graphics settings).
(also timing it. Getting to 1.5km altitude with 3 x 1000 lbs bombs in hellcat is around 3 minutes if you start with engine off, take off normally and side climb. Resetting to 1.5km is easier after bomb runs).
I’ll try but as an implementation specialist of AMR robots I don’t have as much time, especially in time of holidays when my wife wants to spend as much time as possible with me ;).
Gonna record matches and post them on forum @ You.
I just with SPAA were as effective as CAS, they are the most broken and OP game mechanic ever and the devs don’t care. 2000lbs bombs are a balanced game mechanic? This guy wiped out half the team in a single pass and they weren’t even bunched up.
Yeah, you have these thing called ‘idiots’ and these other things called ‘enemies in blue,’ with this combined knowledge, you get supreme skill issue.
Team mates are useless, if you want to deal with CAS, do it yourself, because relying on team mates that aren’t personally put in your squad by you, and have communications, they don’t care, and won’t care.
That’s the issue, they are, people just don’t understand how to use them.
As an example The LvKv 9040 is a better SPAA at 11.3 than all the SAM systems only because of its IRST system and 40mm proxy fuse, no radar warning to planes, no evasion maneuvers displayed, easy range kill’s, even out to 7-8km in some cases, most including helicopter engagements.
Overall - im here beacause in my opinion, problem with cas is different at BR 3+ and different at TOP. And both of problems is not related with “player skill”
