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
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)
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.
Sure when ULQ gets the message and quits stating the same regurgitated nonsense. His messages are almost always ->Get rid of CAS, Increase points to where it’s impossible to fly them, a tank-only gamemode, planes are limited by either a timer or how many times you can fly them. Otherwise, I’m going to keep posting it and continue putting the nail into the wood plank until there is no more space to put a nail and I build a house. Cause none of his ideas benefits anyone but himself and this game isn’t built around him.
