I already play ASB, especially at higher ranks, so spare me the “it’s not scary, watch Requiem tutorials” speech — I know what ASB is and how it works. But that doesn’t magically fix the issue that strike aircraft are borderline useless outside of it, or that their value in other modes keeps shrinking.
Telling people to go play an entirely different mode with long queues and dead brackets instead of actually making strike aircraft relevant in all modes is just a lazy non-solution.
All modes?
Why should tanks suffer because ARB sucks?
Strike aircraft have ASB to thrive.
Tanks have nothing.
Tanks deserve their own game mode to be playable without driving 5 meters only to be bombed by a F4U-4, F6F-5 or shot to pieces by a yak-9K/UT you have zero means of fighting back against without changing vehicles.
Champion fixing ARB if ASB is insufficient.
That’s why people want to add a separate mode just for tanks.
ARB being a cesspool doesn’t really excuse keeping tanks hostage in their own mode. Not to mention, forcing CAS players to queue for a mode where their preferred vehicle can’t even be spawned at the start isn’t really fair to them, so fixing ARB is paramount.
Ground modes being the main host for CAS doesn’t feel right when you have Air modes right here and there.
What are you even talking about ?
RU tanks haven’t been the best for months now.
I could name you a plethora of realistic features that, I’m sure, most of the community wouldn’t like if they get implemented.
new main strategy then. the majority of people who went against the Pantsir just go in a straight line then are shocked when they get taken out by it.
removing CAS from GRB wasnt suggested
yeah let me just sit in my epic strategic position and observe the match until the end. sounds like excellent gameplay
we arent gonna discuss realism until the mixed gamemode is even remotely realistic
not comparable
Making strike aircraft more usable isn’t the only reason for CAS. It’s also better for balancing against campers and heavy tanks.
imo, the best solution is RB EC where the maps would be larger, and have ai tanks, planes, and infantry, along with both player controlled tanks and player controlled planes.
This would make it harder to play SPAA due to the longer ranges, and also decrease your chances of dying to a plane bc tanks will be harder to spot, and ai tanks will provide more targets for CAS.
Also, helicopters would be more useful.
Examples, otherwise it is just skill issue
You deal with campers and heavies as usual, where’s your issue ?
It is probably that he can’t deal with it without the air and instead of learning how to deal with it, he prefers to use the air that the heavy/camper can’t counter.
“as usual” is by simply bombing them.
Far from the only way to deal with them effectively.
It’s not a secret many people use CAS as crutches.
They just use those “camper, overpowered spots” arguments to justify their unsportsmanlike killing.
Many people would consider sniper/camper kills as unsportsmanlike killing. This is too subjective.
So skill issue, thanks for confirming
It is the most effective way of dealing with them.
You had a chance to fight back against that sniper/camper.
Your chances of fighting back against a plane 10km+ away is pretty much nonexistent.
Not the only one so you definitely don’t need CAS to bring them down.
It’s still the best tool, and greatly aids with balancing.
It is not, please stop trying to justfiy Your skill issue
BR is there for vehicle balancing, not some vehicle type that is completely optional to the mode itself.
