Something I think that many ground mains fail to appreciate is that ground attacker aircraft are actually terrible in ARB. Not only is the gameplay very very stale, but even the strongest of them struggle to compete. There is ASB, but many dont like the limitations involved with it and the gamemode is all but abandoned by the devs currently. Even on a good day though. The gameplay isnt good.
That basically leaves GRB and GSB to have actually engaging and challenging CAS gameplay.
Then there are also helis, and they dont really get their own gamemode. Heli PvE is a buggy, half-baked bodge-job they threw together years ago and then just forgot about. Expecting players to play Heli PvE to play a heli just… isnt reasonable.
So… TLDR… For the aircraft most commonly used in GRB (with the exception of the top tier multiroles) the short answer would be no. They actually dont.
And now in next update they can fix the guidance of fire and forget missiles after launching too, another buff of air players in ground battle, air player are so much rewarded it’s clearly driven by profit motives
Is it so? There is no mention of ground mode it only said ground vehicle ? if so Anyways it will be added eventually in ground battles too i have no doubt about that
As frontline btr152 or airfield roland in air rb? Im afraid air players will be happy considering humans are much worse at aa than bots.
Sim gets better choice, sidams, za35, zsu23, crotale even. But also there are dusters and ostwinds iirc. And again I doubt you will be better than AI with pinpoint precision and 360 degree fov.
So I wouldnt mind. Just wondering how long will spaa player last being farmed by jdams, gbu39s, and other popular bot farming munitions.
Gaijin will never add tank only mode because their profits will decline and Air players will seethe because combined battles would be empty and they will be denied easy kills
Highly depends on how strong AAs would be.
Just remember how many people were complaining about strength of AAs in Nuclear Thunder.
Rolands were shooting down ordnance and planes from 10km away, while HAWKs and company were clubbing planes from much further than that as well.
Seeing what happened in NT, it’s incredibly easy to make ARB a hell for planes just like GRB can be hell for tanks. Days of care free furballing can disappear in a second, so it’s way better to accept TO should happen instead of ARB receiving GRB treatment.
Well I listed vehicles from standart air modes: sim and realistic. Forgot about nuclear thunder. But even if we give players spaa from nt and let them sit there, they will still be much worse at their job than bot abominations which were tracking and launching missiles at targets hiding behind terrain.
Air unrealistic furballing with markers might become better mode.
I dont mind, but arb should receive some treatment anyway to become somewhat interesting mode to play. Like air sim.
Gajin isn’t going to add three additional Ground Battle gamemodes cause it’s objectively a bad idea that keeps getting suggested by noobs who don’t wanna learn how to properly play the game.
It’s a lot deeper than that because the mechanical difficulty of killing a tank (human controlled) with a CAS is nearly identical to killing an AI target. The thrill coming from causing other player’s frustrations triggers a much higher dopamine release which indirectly feeds the ego by confirming they are much higher skilled than another human lol
Searching through terrain aside, players wouldn’t be that worse than bots due to the radar screen being a thing. You’d just need to keep clicking on the contacts you see and that’s about it.
Missile/radar performance is the key here, as you could probably see NT Roland was absolutely cracked unlike Roland found in GRB. Now imagine what could happen to some more modern AAs we already have in the game.
This guy has also suggested to remove artillery in ground battles stating that they are “spammable” as the reason lmao kinda ironic coming from a guy who support total Aircraft dominance in ground battles
As if Aircrafts don’t spam missiles on ground vehicle lol, logic left the chat…
