Although a Ground Only mode is the real answer, we know that will never happen. So, a couple items that would help with the gross imbalance of CAS over GV’s…
Make CAS actually realistic in “Realism” mode. That is to say get rid of the arcade 3rd person view and bind the pilot into the cockpit.
Allow SPAA to spot AC and mark them just like a scout does with tanks.
As a Sim player, this really isnt that big of a deal.
Disagree fully.
nobody really knows anything and saying “it will never happen” is not based on anything
doesnt this still use the standard views like IR etc, which means it would only affect things like dogfights
this would be great
This would require SPAA to receive a similar nerf it mouse aim and camera control to maintain balance.
It’s already far easier to spot CAS with SPAA than to spot SPAA with CAS.
You can already scout planes with T 6 1
The cheapest CAS I was able to get with just scouting and getting 9 kill assists lol After that can just spawn CAS 3 to 5 times if include helis/back ups.
Well, I’m just going by the fact that it’s been lobbied hard for since beta and Gaijin has said several times it’s a no-go, so I just take it as a “never” based on that. Not my preference, but the reality of the situation imo.
The idea is the elimination of any out of cockpit views. The pilot should be planted in the cockpit with all the view obstructions. So if you need to look down, you roll the wings to do so. That sort of thing.
Quite honestly I don’t see it making a massive difference but it would would bring a semblance of sanity into the format since AC have a gross advantage currently. But the reality is Gaijin designed the Ground game to be a format for AC to have the upper hand, dominate and farm gv’s. So I don’t see them straying too far from that.
No, because the format is currently far out of balance in favor of AC. but my prior post covers that,
I know of no way to scout planes in BR 7.0 and below, which is the only range I play. I can’t comment on anything higher.
Again, as a Sim main, this is pretty trivial to do. A minority of aircraft would probably end up with a more restricted view. But I’ve bombed the living hell out of enough things in GSB to know that this really isnt that big of a handicap usually.
limit the number of planes (3 is the perfect number) and only one turn if you are shot down you cannot recall the plane and ask for double the cost to spawn
has gaijin ever formally explicitly rejected tank-only? if so, its probably pointless.
if not, its still not possible to convince them with this attitude that “it simply cant be done”.
if we want tank-only, players need to speak out and vote for it.
this would be fine but it wouldnt affect the issue of OP cas that much
this doesnt fix OP cas and only makes the game mode arcady
T 6 1
It tells everyone on your team the height and direction (direction on compass) of the plane. You can even use it to track planes through mountains which is really dumb.
It’s honestly pretty overpowered considering how easy it already is to spot planes.
Limiting plane spawns would do nothing good. Additionally, we would need to limit SPAA spawns as well to maintain balance.
Also very useful for GSB for IDing targets.
I suppose with the new radar screen the contact could be marked on that as well as a static marker for it’s last known position.
That’s much worse than what we get for tank scouting.
Gaijin said no to high power missiles and jets as well but here we are.
And it’s much better than SPAA deserves. Spotting planes is already ridiculously easy. We don’t need a way to track em through mountains as well.
Not only that plane spotting is much worse, you don’t even get a reward by doing it.
Good. You shouldn’t get a reward for plane spotting.
No reason why not.
There’s no reason it should. Should you get a reward for spawning? Should you get a reward for missing a shot? Should you get a reward for shooting down a tree?
