I still think having heavy bombers dropping 5000lb (2.2 dam ton!!!) bombs as a CAS role is ridiculous. This guy blew me up from a bomb hit 100m away from me.
Its a tank game…

This is true, but it fails to address some of the reasons why most people don’t get better at it.
Current state of SPAA in the game is ass for most tech trees other than one nation, who has some of the best CAS platforms and weapons.
In almost every situation SPAA is markedly inferior to even a -1.0 BR fighter to dealing with enemy aircraft, and many nations SPAA has either been developed excessively handicapped or nerfed into obsolescence with changes like making smokeless motors smoke, IRRCM that doesn’t work, missiles not getting proper seeker modes, arbitrary and excessive G limiting etc.
It’s kind of like HESH. Originally it worked pretty well and was deadly. Now it’s a joke.
I have SPAAs up to 3.8 air KD yet I don’t play them anymore because they are so boring, you have more than one reason not to spawn an AA not because you are not good at it bro
That’s theory
In practice it’s more rock - coughing baby - nuclear device, except around 9.0-9.7, where AA can actually be a threat
Oh you missed the mark on that pretty dramatically. I quite enjoy hunting aircraft.
I often play AA-helicopters or SPAA as close to exclusively as I can 🤣
But thanks for the logical fallacy
Planes get a seperate, unique spawn for themselves in Ground RB, why wouldn’t SPAA get a seperate, unique spawn for themselves in Air RB? To invert your argument, it would be like someone saying “Who’d want to spawn in a plane in Ground RB, there’d be nowhere to take off?”.
But to get back to the point of their argument, they are claiming that a logical analogy of what planes do to Ground RB would be player controlled SPAA in Air RB. Which is to say, you will be attempting to enjoy the core gameplay of the mode (plane versus plane), only for it to be interrupted by another player who is able to engage you via a completely different ruleset than the one you were previously engaging with.
not at all, i simply dont want CAS
i guarantee you will never come up with a reason why TO is a bad idea.
cheap troll, try another time
That’s 5000KG - 5Tons. So around 11000lbs

I’ve grinded out pantsir because “its soo good and it plays itself, best spaa in game” and i have it constantly crewlocked because i don’t want to waste time on boring “spam-lock-button” gameplay.
If i would want to look at the sky i would go outside and touch grass.
Explains how easily he wasted me… Ridiculous for a heavy bomber to be even classed as a Cas…
Gaijoob pls add grand slam, ground battles literally unplayable without it
but no, youre supposed to be an obedient monkey for me to shoot with my CAS, how dare you not pretend that you like this gameplay!!!
Hate to break it to you but it WAS a tank game.
You are the one complaining about SPAA all the time and how you need a ballistic computer to deliver CAS.
Seems like you prefer to complain on the forum about SPAAs, rather than learn to counter it.
Doesn’t matter, it’s a dead idea that will never happen.
If you want less aircraft, petition for better SPAA and A2A assets to protect the combined arms battle space.
I’ve given many reasons, way too many times. The response I get every time goes along the lines of.
“Well uhhh- y-you just love abusing CAS!!!1!!”
Or
“Well urr wrong cuz my stats are better!!!”
If you’re seriously that bad at countering CAS, just ask for help.
Unlike CAS haters, I’ve actually put time in to learning to counter difficult enemies.
It’s just that 70sp SPAA shouldn’t be more powerful than 100sp tanks and 700sp planes.
Imagine crying because you flew into bullets. SPAAs are the easiest thing to counter. Getting bombed is difficult to counter.
If you’re somehow bad at countering CAS then just ask for help. Although taken as all CAS haters know how to do is die in the most braindead vehicles in the game, I doubt that’ll happen.
Let’s see what’s easier to avoid?
1: a thousand teaser rounds being fired indiscriminately from well over a kilometre
2: a 1,000lbs bomb that just landed right next to you.
Even if we talk top tier, what’s easier to avoid?
1: a massive missile labeled “MSL” going at you below 1,000m/s with a massive smoke trail being guided by hand
2: smokeless, invisible missile (with no label) going at you at Mach speed from well over 12km
The 1,000 because you can see and hear the plane coming, and simply hide from it, whilst tracer rounds may or may not render, and are completely silent at more than just a couple miles, and SPAA can see and or hear you pretty much 24/7 even when you fly at treetop level.
Seriously, if you are somehow bad at countering CAS, just ask for help
Also no, I’m not gonna comment about your top tier bs.
