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

Huge issue that doesn’t seem to be mentioned is TEL ammo capacity when engaging multiple repeated mass strikes, you can easily run a TEL out of missiles with a single JAGM salvo, pop back down, and just reload and do it again. While ammo replenishment is an option with the ammo boxes those boxes run out and it takes a long while to replenish missiles. Spawn points should allow ammo replenishment for SPAA just like points do.

AHEAD rounds are also super broken and buggy, I could really see a use case for the German AHEAD systems or the CIWS as far as missile defence is concerned. Watching an LMUR spammer send his fifth salvo and pop back down only for it to just get completely intercepted 20 seconds later because he has no other tactics would be a real treat.

Why would people buy premiums if they don’t feel the need to?

People buy tank premiums only because there are planes there to bomb it?

People buy prems cuz they’re frustrated with the grind. This isn’t rocket science.

And this obscene grind magically goes away in TO?

This isn’t difficult to understand for anyone else.

Making the grind easily doesn’t instantly remove the grind.

2944

Okay so people will still buy them in a TO mode.

Less money = bad for Gajin

Most people are smart enough to understand this.

I’m not saying they will buy more. I’m not saying they will buy none. I’m saying they will buy less. I really don’t know how to make this any more clear to you.

It doesn’t make any sense however, the implication is that people are more inclined to buy tank premiums when there are planes and helicopters to destroy them than when there are not.

The implication is frustrated players are more likely to buy prems to shorten the grind.

The grind to what? Eager to get to top tier where the CAS issue is even worse? What is the goal here? Not like you can grind your beyond the issues.

Gajin’s target audience is new naive players who don’t know better.

2952

Because any informed player knows how futile it is, if only they made some changes so they don’t have to bait people.

2953

Yes, if only Gajin was like VALVe. In the mean time however, it’s unlikely that Gajin will spend any time or money on niche features.

There’s been a total of about one (1) time i’ve seen him say something normal on here, and reading his most recent group of replies is kind of crazy to say that people would buy them less because the grind itself isn’t frustrating. Is he trying to ignore the fact that cas isn’t as much of a grind issue as it is a fun issue for some?

For him it is not an issue as without it he wouldn’t have a chance against other ground players and with CAS he can do something to them

This absolutely makes no sense. Why would players buy less premiums if those would speed up ground vehicles grind and those players are interested in ground vehicles? Players would definately buy more premium tanks if ground vehicles grind is frustrating to speed up the grind. They would definately not buy other premium stuff if they are not interested in it as they already don’t do. So in the end more premium stuff would be sold. Not less.

It’s simply how Gajin’s business model works. A pay for conviniece system naturally encourages the devs to make playing inconvenient.

Holy crap, I must have said something absolutely insane and unhinged for Maldrok of all ppl to consider it normal.
