Planes have their own mode because adding ships or tanks wouldn’t work.
You want TO cause you’re bad at fighting planes.
TO and ARB have nothing in common.
Gee, idk, maybe don’t take a massive, slow moving, open top vehicle and try to play it in the middle of a wide open area where it has no cover.
Rank 8 is new and it hasn’t always been top tier. I’ve played Rank VII at 11.7, and I refuse to believe the extra .3 BR to 12.0 makes that much of a difference.
I take it a “correct” opinion is one that agrees with you and anything else cant be right huh?
ARB sucks, why would you want another ARB? I would rather ARB go away than TO be added.
This sounds like you’ve never actually flown CAS. That tactic might work IRL but in the game dropping that high on anyone who isn’t camping is not viable. Assuming your bomb stays on target, all people have to do to counter it being dropped from that high is not stay in one place for too long.

So restrict yourself on what you want to play, that’s basically their entire point
Besides the fact that it does because you don’t meet the most unbalanced CAS (13.0), you don’t seem to fare too too well in the challenger. Maybe CAS does not bother you that much, and that’s fine, but it doesn’t go the same way for everyone

Not playing vehicles in situations where they have poor tactical viability is a pretty normal “restriction.” Sorry you can’t sit in the middle of a field and be a massive sitting duck target without someone taking advantage of your poor choices.
That’s not even the highest BR tank I’ve played (T-80UK), but when I did play the Challenger it was usually a third spawn after an uptiered Rooikat 105 and the G-LYNX. My stategy for that BR was spawn the Rooikat (even though its a 9.7) and use it to cap a point and/or get a few kills so I could spawn the G-LYNX which slaps. Then if I got shot down the Challenger was up next, so yeah as a third spawn it was meh performance, the match was almost over by then with not many targets left.
If you don’t understand what is said, or have to manipulate it to make a stance that you’re making, everything you’re trying to say is indeed incorrect, wrong, or even misleading and intentionally misrepresented.
Your misinterpretation, and malintent, isn’t my problem. It’s yours.
Tell me you don’t know what context means without telling me you don’t know what it means…
People are irrationally upset at them dying in a game.

Not to mention nashorn being perfect for big open maps as a sniper vehicle.

If you cannot comprehend the concept of tactical viability I’m not sure how to help you.
The Nashorn is a very situational vehicle, and overall not really all that good. It’s big, it’s slow, it’s open topped, and the only thing it has going for it is a big powerful gun. At German 5.3 the Panther D is more mobile, better armored, slightly less huge, has a roof, and the gun is only slightly less powerful. Between the two the extra power of the Nashorn isn’t all that relevant for what you’ll be facing. Being open topped makes it not only a prime target for any plane, but an easy kill for any tank that remembered to bring some HE rounds. Are you going to say we shouldnt have HE?
Do you know what playing the Nashorn is like? Playing Bombers in ARB. Bombers are big, slow, and easy to kill for anyone who decides to target them. Their main defense is being so high up and far away that planes have to work a bit harder to get to them. The turrets aren’t much help except against truly incompetent pilots. Bombers can carry more bombs and bigger bombs, but since fighters and strikers can often carry enough bombs to destroy bases the bombers really arent the best choice tactically. Still, I like bombers, and do play them sometimes. Instead of complaining about how bad bombers have it, or demanding a Bombers Only mode, I adjust my expectations accordingly and accept the reality of the situation.
Bombers can defend against other air targets (mg turrets) while nashorn can’t do anything to air

A Nashorn can elevate its gun and shoot a plane that is coming right at it from the front. Given how ineffective MG turrets on bombers are a pilot basically has to be flying steady behind the bomber for them to do anything.
Therefore a Bomber and a Nashorn are equally effective against incompetent pilots.
If enemy air units allow it. While bomber can try to fly in a way that allows his turrets to be able to shoot at the Target, nashorn can’t do that.
Of course they are not.
Bomber has the same chance against a fighter like nashorn has against a tank in CQB.

Clearly you’ve never flown a bomber, they are too slow and lumbering to effectively outmaneuver a fighter. In that same vain a Nashorn can turn to face a fighter coming at it.
This is just as true for bombers.
That isn’t saying much the Nashorn is pretty useless in CQB, but I still say the bomber has it worse. Regardless for either to do well relies more on good luck and bad opponents than player skill.
You’ve consistently shot PE-8/Lancasters down with nashorn? that is a million dollar shot, people are getting rich these days man

About as consistently as I’ve shot down competent fighters with a Bombers MG turrets, or does the concept of an analogy elude you?
Long time ago, but I have been flying bombers. Not to mention nuke bombers ;)
The issue is it can’t.
Of course It is not.
Than nashorn against air? Oh I don’t think so.

That’s my point, a bomber can’t position itself to effectively defend either. Seriously do you not understand how analogies work? Not only is the bomber too slow and lumbering, but for it to be effective it has to flight straight and level at least over the target.
Yes it is.
Than Nashorn in QCB
Bombers have a game mode where they are terrifying to approach and some people go out of their way to use them as gunboats due to the adventage conferred by third person view with mouse point and click gunnery.
Now, saying what I want to say would get this post removed so instead I say -
Why must the Nashorn not have at least the same degree of viability as B25s, B26s, Me 264s and so forth have in air SB?
Remove at least hit markers and scouting markers. When I get the chance to play GSB, suddenly stuff like Bredas and Yags become quite ubiquitous because planes struggle to find them to strafe and bomb even if spawned in the fields of Hurtgen forest and standing just below a hilltop with the gun peeking over.
Nashorns deserve the same experience in GRB.
It works in ASB and works in Krabb’s simulator battles events (tried, tested and witnessed it work for the Iwo Jima and D-day landings). Hardest part is NOT losing control of your plane when releasing stuff assymetrically.
We’re talking about WW2 tanks with non-existent reverse speeds and awful forward acceleration in most cases. You won’t drive out of a 1000 lbs bomb’s range by the time it impacts. You have like… 2 seconds to realize that there’s a plane that dove down from 2km to 800 meters, targeted YOU in particular and has released the bomb.
“Make GRB like GSB”
Play GSB if you want GSB features, or at least stop framing this as CAS issue if your problem is that GRB is not GSB. Why not play Arcade where the planes are random, the loadouts are useless, and flight time is limited?
That makes two of us.
Again you keep wanting Realistic to be Simulator. They are different game modes for a reason.
Sounds like a lack of air awareness, but if someone wants you dead in particular you’ve either made yourself an easy target, a tactical target (capping a point/camping a good angle) or you’ve upset the wrong guy and its a revenge bomb. Such is the nature of the game.
Dude is a CAS main lol see his record, the only time he was getting kills is through CAS, most of his ground vehicles are mostly negative and some of them are so negative that their therapist starts seeing another therapist. Foo has zero interest in playing any of the ground vehicles, they are nothing but a stepping stone used to spawn CAS as quickly as possible.

Back in the days with R2Y2s didn’t let B-29s or any other bomber do their bomb runs was wild. Till this day, it’s still difficult to fly bombers honestly, especially Japanese ones. They are more useful in GRB than Air RB.

It Can position itself in a way that allows gunners to shoot at an aircraft.
Agains other tanks? Maybe. Depends on what bomber we are talking about.
