I feel like the easiest way to start this is by explaining my own experience and why i feel this way since everyone has different experiences.
i play a lot of Japan at the moment, 11.7
The ONLY reliable CAS aircraft at this BR is the F-5 so thats what i use, yet no matter how well i play or how hard i try to evade or be sneaky, something will always shoot down all four of my mavericks and then inevitably me. whether it be a sky sabre firing at me from a spot i cant even see because of the tall radar, or a SPYDER curving a python 5 over a literal mountain to hit me, i just always die.
come to find out the spawn cost for my F-5 has been increased with mavericks?? as far as i recall it was around 750 before and now is 900. i don’t really understand how players or gaijin seem to think that the spawn cost between SPAA and Aircraft at top tier is fair, it cost me 90SP to spawn a BUK M3 with a total of 24 missiles yet it costs me 890SP to spawn an F5 with 4 mavericks, i feel like for people wanting “better gameplay” this just kind of does the opposite, because no ones spawning planes now and it just makes hard campers and overpowered vehicles even harder to deal with, and in my opinion just makes the gameplay objectively worse…?
If you actually read this entire thing please share you’re opinions or experiences so i can read them, im curious what some others think. (also thanks for reading my rant i guess?)
