Proximity shells in an MBT? WTF???
Some Abrams versions have that for a long time now.

Yes, many Abrams, and other few MBTs are capable of using such ammo either Time Delay Fuse, HE-VT, HEAT-MP etc…

Game is getting goofy in the upper tiers.
Spaa are tank hunting with autocannons and MBTs are shooting down aircraft …
No - SPAA being weak to CAS isn’t just a ‘skill’ issue.
Also - CAS isn’t exactly that hard to fly at a moderate level, stop jerking yourself off with the ‘hur duh dur, GIT GUD SPAA, lulz’ attitude.
Balancing needs to be done for SPAA - some more so than others. Their anti-air capabilities are clearly not as effective as they should be given GRB is basically turning into CAS battles.
Also - some trees have sections in general that just suck compared to how they work vs the aircraft they face. German 5.3 to 7.0 is a good example, wirbel, ostwind are all fairly good at anti ground. Terrible at anti-air if the opposing aircraft is even halfway decent - unless you bait them into a dive or catch them in one.
Conversely - their antiground capabilities need to be addressed. Too many SPAA’s are basically ferrari’s with autocannons. TD’s need their role back and SPAA needs to be AA focused - not anti ground with an option of anti-air.
Also - SPAA and other light vehicles needs to be more subject to wounding shots/loss of crew members. For SPAA to take a 128mm shot that takes out their engine + 2 or 3 crew members should mean death - not ZOOOM ZOOOOM ZOOOM to cover, then repair. There needs to be a trade off for that speed and firepower in terms of survivability.
As for CAS - some aircraft and weapon systems are clearly overtuned for a variety of reasons. I would say that rebalancing some SPAA units to be better AA might offset that if introduced before CAS nerfs.
Doubt Gaijin will care though. Low skill SPAA anti ground warfare and CAS ruining games is here to stay.

I agree with most of what you say, but not entirely on the lack of good German spaa at 6.0 - 7.0. The Zerstorer and Kugel are decent.
IMO, the real gaps are US 5.0-7.0 (Skink ???) and France (7+ to 8.3) with only the AMX 10-P with it’s 20mm cannon + 50 degree vertical guidance. And then there’s Israel that has to make due with the TCM-20 (starting with a novice crew in BR 6.3 battles) until they unlock the Hovet at 7.3.
Still waiting for Gaijin to properly model SARH guidance on ground AA… I wonder if that day will ever come.
No, it seriously is just a skill issue. SPAA is by no means weak to CAS.
Cool story bro. Reality is different than your opinion on the matter.
So the next time you get hit by unavoidable AA at high tier - dont whine, its a ‘skill issue’.
Next time you get gunned down by a BMPT with no counter, ‘its a skill issue’.
Continue dying pathetic and avoidable deaths to overated CAS planes. Personally, I think properly learning game mechanics would be a better use of your time than whining on the forums, but who am I to tell you how to spend your free time.
What?
You quoted your own post so I’m really not sure which part of my post you have an issue with.
As usual - you are attempting to inject your nonsense feelings into an issue. The only one whining here is you.
Yes - CAS is an issue at certain BR’s regardless of your little feelings on the matter. I’ve indicated my points consistently and clearly. You have yet to do anything besides say ‘NO’ and cry.
As usual - its always the top gun wanna be tools like yourself trying to do the ‘LOL SKILL BRO’ argument. I bet you even have a Tom Cruise poster on your wall with your attitudes here.

None, it was me being tired and posting in response to Pangolin, not yourself.
My apologies sir, no issues at all with you.

Says the guy literally complaining that CAS is too strong XD. If you wanna continue being a free SL pinata for CAS, then I ain’t gonna tell you you can’t.
I completely understand.
I main AA as the name implies and i dont really have any issues removing CAS and ground targets lol. I just suggest more people play the OTOMATIC if you want some good ol AA fun.
Does HE-VT fuze on missiles or not? Because I don’t think the average 11.7 CAS plane ever enters the range of the OTOMATIC.
Yes it does, its fun to deny CAS kills lol.
Also you lock from 10km out so its pretty average for engagement distance.
That has to be against very unaware players who fly in straight lines only. But if it fuses against munitions i can see it being effective as a C-RAM.
