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

I think that planes spawn points should be reduced atleast 30% here’s why, so say u got a brand new spaa and u wanna upgrade it but there are barely any planes so to counter this and get more planes we reduce spawn points for planes so players can spawn more planes and spaa get more kills which will be fun (sorry if it dosent make sense I am very sleepy) but hopefully u get my point

Well, that’s the wrong way to do it.

just raise the rewards for shooting down planes

Yeah, but the thing is planes barley spawn. Everymatch I load into atleast 4-5 planes spawn, so youre almost rarley gonna get a kill because of it.

DEAR GOD NO PLEASE FFS. play 6.7 Germany case-mates, 90% of the time I’m already dying to CAS don’t need to make it 95%+, CAS spam would be absolutely terrible if this was implemented, its already pretty bad in the lower-mid BR’s IMO, but lowering spawn cost would make it essentially turn into ARB IMO

So:
A.) use ur spaa as a tank destroyer
B.) increase rewards for air kills
C.) don’t play spaa

Reducing the sp cost of aircraft would just make the game less fun to play, lobbies would be full of Cas and no one would use a tank. It wouldn’t be fun for spaa as well, they’d get overrun and killed so the only people benefiting from that would be Cas players themselves, who already have it pretty good.

Those who still cries about CAS in battles should open description to the Realist Ground Battle section in the game and read text.
Regularly 3-4 kills required to take jet, but make 1 kill and die from unlimited missile throwing, I doubt it’s worth exchange, Gaijin hates aviation and for years nerfing it adding imbalanced Pancir, dynamic weather and increasing activity points for top weaponry they will not make aviation greater again.
That’s sad to see how people who doesn’t have any jet or have one but didn’t succesed to learn it, go on forums and discussions to complaint to remove CAS, and players who spent dozen of hours on mistakes learned CAS but still should sweat, trully sweat at 11.7+ just to make kill. Unfortunately, Gaijing doesn’t understand this. I really would like to see how those who sells premium jets 700-900 points, limited to ground working would fight against OP 70 points SPAA + extra free SPAA

I have planes.

Most of my gameplay is in planes.

In dedicated air modes (ASB).

If I play GRB/GSB, it’s because I want to drive a tank. If I wanted to fly a plane, I’d go and join an ASB lobby (which is what I do 90% of the time).

What’s so hard to comprehend?

I have tanks

Most of my gameplay is in tank

If i grind plane it"s for playing them with my tanks, to use Air-to-ground armement.

What’s so hard to comprhend ?

I want to know what dev thought heavy bombers should be classed as CAS? These things are OP and a game breaker. The bomb this guy dropped on me killed me from 50m away. No skill in that.

That there are people which enjoy CAS ?

Skill? It’s a video game, the goal is to have fun, at least for me. Skill, stats, all that stuff, I don’t care about it.

And when I get killed by a bomber like the PE8, well, so what? I get killed, I think, “Whoa, that was a huge explosion,” and I move on.

There enjoyment comes at Ground Forces expense.

Getting entire one frag before spending few mins on rtb and reload is sure op. Especially when battle ends before you get chance for second run.

Extra separate mode will devide online. Currently USSR players sitting per 4-6 minutes in queue to play one battle. Even enabling mixed battles don’t help. How do you think that “only ground” will change the game? Will you sit 10 minutes in queue due to luck of online at one of two modes? Anyway, for CAS haters there is “weapon of vengeance” - one click SPAA that solves exaggerated issue.

What BR? I play up to 9.0 and never wait more than 20 secs regardless to nation I use.

Top tier premium brs like 11.3. My highscore was 5 or 6 mins

This just shows that something is clearly wrong with top BR when queue times in other BR segments are immensely shorter and has nothing to do with playerbase divide.

The issues raised here concern modern BRs.

WW2 BRs have fast match-making and SPAA don’t have one-click solutions.

Instead we got F4U-4(bs), Yak-9s, Pe-8s, Lancasters, TIS MAs, F6Fs and so forth going to town.

If there’s too many planes in the sky, spaa below top-tier will just get wiped off the map.
