An idea just came up. Thought I could share it as well.
Just like in BATTLEFIELD, there are area’s where players can hop on an utilize stationary AA. I saw this today in a recent match, thought maybe Gaijin can allow these to be used by players for a short period of time. Idk how well this can work. Just food for thought and thinking outside the box here. Maybe someone here can add more mechanics to this idea or leave it alone entirely.
Could have option at the bottom next to ammo selection where we can toggle to activate when next to it and let the player control it ooooooor Ai control it for a good 20 seconds or so.
o my god so your take is basically there should always be a range were planes can trow missiles non stop and rearm without spaa having any chance at all, zero
helis have pars 3 so they just need to pop up fire missiles and dip
kind of but there is one small difference do you know what happens if you fire a missile from the pantsir and hide behind a house(which is often suggested)?
Yeah. This also tends to be my issue with “CAS” as a catch-all term.
The reality is, only 10-20% of “CAS” at most BRs is good. Most of it is pretty average and actually probably balanced quite well and then a small chunk is woefully underpowered.
But you say “can X be buffed” the default is usually, no CAS must suffer.
Even the worst cas plane like Zero and Spitfire have bomb carrying models
On the other hand the amount of ground vehicle that can deal with cas is much much lower
Not all of them, most of them dont, and when they do its usually very small calibre bombs. Like 250lb maybe 500lb.
When compared to an actual strike aircraft, with 1-3 1000lb bombs. Its not really even a competition.
But personally. I wouldnt even describe a Spitfire or a Zero as a CAS aircraft. They arent. They are CAP.
Though I was more thinking something like Typhoon with Brimstone 1 vs Su30SM with KH-38MT
or Tiger with FnF AGMs vs Apache without even DIRCM. You ask for buffs for the Apache, and its “skill issue” or “CAS must suffer” but the reality is that there isnt really any point ever bringing one of those apache to a top tier match because you are just a free kill.
