I will not fly CAP anymore against 12.7

I was once piloting the mig 21 bison premium, fitting nicely into the 11.7 br lineup I have with the challenger 2 premium.

I just kept defending against AMRAAMs sent my way by a f 15 for 10 minutes straight. “Missile evasion” one after another.

I got upset at this, and that there was a event involving mission points, so I just crashed my plane and went to the next round.

The difference between 11.0ish planes and 12.7 is insane. You can keep killing drones easily in lower tier, and maybe the Su 25s. F-20 makes short work of them with the Aim-7F.

Finally, for me, a CAP plane isnt cheap to spawn, as I get a kill in like 1 in every 5 rounds.

Are there other players that has the same experience?

This is what happens when you compress 11.0-14.0 into only 1.7 BRs.

What gaijin should do is move planes up in GRB to atleast 13.3, and move ground up as well.

I stopped doing this for most lineups cause people aren’t spawning CAS as much.
I did with F-4F ICE in a few matches as part of its stock grind, but IDK if I’ll keep doing that.

If you look at the math of CAS, you need 0.81 frag on 2nd spawn of a tank to match max 1 sortie of CAS frags if you’re using Rafale or Su-30SM.
3rd spawn? 1.85 frags in a tank to match 6 frags in the aircraft for spawn points used.

IDK about others, but unless I’m spawning a 4th time, the tanks in my hands are better than CAS.

And not only that, but you end all downtier potential bringing those CAS platforms.

yeah ground is flawed massively at this br… basically 3-4 BRs of planes in 1 BR

Thanks to Gaijin’s brilliant problem solving skills.
