If you could, how would you re-balance CAS in Ground Battles?

As You ignore, You ignore Logic. Nothing special coming from people who refuse to be good in tanks and instead need planes. This is how it looks like in WT:

Also the ability to rearm vehicles such as the Type 93 before all missiles have been fired.

Right now you have to fire all 8 missiles, then rearm at a cap zone, which takes forever and then spend just as much time actually reloading the launcher.

You have separate game for it. Called world of tanks.

Can’t wait to use my fictional MBT-90000000000 at tier 7 jumping around in a hit point based game

The best way to re-balance CAS in current GB is to create separate mode (TO) for tankers.

People who would like to play just tanks would leave current GB thus creating balance as only people left are ones who want combined mode and are ok with the ‘unbalance’.

Some people on this forum aren’t able to understand that some people want to play tanks only which, given the size of Ground branch, is a perfectly valid wish.

By this logic they could remove Air modes and send anyone who’s objecting to World of Warplanes.

I’ve not played Ground a lot for a while, and just for the BP played it more now recently. But what I can really say from my recent experience (RB only), is that CAS wasn’t that much of a game-breaking issue as apparently still a lot of people here feel.

Yes, I’ve also been killed by planes, but not too frequently.

On the other hand I played AA quite a few times, and got many kills with unguided SPAAG’s and SAM’s. I was actually more struggling with too few aircraft in my matches than too many…

I also flew out in CAS aircraft a few time, but also there I think I was killed more by stuff on the ground than I managed to kill someone with m aircraft (props and unguided SPAAG’s era only).

Seriously, CAS is just part of ground battle since the military got wings, and is a constant in 20st and 21st century warfare.

however pilots do not complain and do not want to remove tanks from battles, unlike tankers. I repeat again, you want tanks without aviation - go to the neighbouring game (wot), nobody keeps you here

so play. why did you came in war thunder then?

No one wants it removed, people just want new gamemode ;). For people that just like how it is today nothing will change (maybe less free frags).

You know there are people who play Air game mode only and nothing else ?
They can’t complain about tanks because there are no tanks in that game mode.

Which will be useless and 5 times more boring than current
Also, very “expert” opinion from People who played like 500-1k battles and went to forum cry about air (they don’t have it at all)

You wouldn’t have to play it So I don’t see the problem

You look to be extremely concerned about a game mode you wouldn’t play.

Remove the friendly markers, introduce time limit, increase SP cost

blah blah

Who would be forcing you to play useless and boring gamemode then? There’s a lot people who would.

If players would start to work on their ability to counter CAS with planes and SPAA it would help much.

Yes.

And the video posted a bit above shows a prime example of a match where first no SPAA was spawned at all, and then later when some decided to spawn, were only marginally successful.

If anything, the vid showed also how the system can be abused by bringing a low BR tank to cap to gain access to aircraft, but also this isn’t really the core problem here: No matter how one got an aircraft in the air, once in the air it can be countered - and that’s just what did not happen here…

And it happens often. Even if some players use SPAA it needs skill and experience. This takes time and we know the patience of the casual WT-player.
On the other hand I have big problems if I play SPAA that I get no protection from other planes or tanks. Planes do their bomb runs instead of fighting other planes. Other tanks are always so scared to move that it ends in a big campfest which is a nice target for enemy planes.
I know it sounds demanding and many feel fast offended if you ask for better skills with SPAA. But what else can we do? Come here and rant and complain every day? Open two ne topics every day about CAS?Wait for things to change? I’m now 160 days into the game and it will not change in the next 100 days. The new trailer shows the path. Air superiority. And it is ok for me because I decide to now learn to fly fighters … even I don’t like them but I hope to find joy in it when I get better.
