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

Also tbh this is the worst armored IFV and worst 10.7 IFV SPAA does need some gaijin spaghetti code to work at time

Or the falcon lol

If only people voted yes to a test of a more realistic APHE behavior… If only we could TEST it and THEN DECIDE if we wanted it to come to the game or not

That looks so fun. I cannot wait to get APDS on gepard :D

Eh wouldn’t matter I’d still keep playing SPAA like TD because they are bad at being SPAA like this thing or any other SPAA in the line until 12.0

In all fairness, this thing is an IFV/APC irl

Yeah and yet the Anti 2, LVKV 42, Veak, Leo Marksman, LVKV 9040C, Lrvbvr. Ect are all better TDa then SPAA well maybe not the Lrvbvr that thing is just bad and the worst 9.7 vehicle

Seriously either low ammo, terrible accuracy, terrible traverse or fire rate is just a problem. I don’t think I’ve seen a single swedish SPAA play SPAA.

It’s not just a problem of rewards but intrinsically some SPAA just aren’t good

Hell IRL the Anti II basically mimics what we see in warthunder. It was effective at scaring some pilots away from its position but not really effective at shooting them down.

The elde crying in the corner:

And now the NOMADS AKA worse Elde part 2 lol

I swear, the NOMADS is being added just because the devs can’t figure out how to make the Elde drive (they could’ve reused the code from the T55E1)

Again no lineup and it’s worse than the Elde, NOMADS literally doesn’t fix any problem aside from mobility.

But that’s besides the point also in terms of CAS, no SPAA in a downtier can deal with me and those that can I can hit from outside their range.

Seriously the 9.x CAS with guided munitions are some of the most over powered because you can just engage from outside their engagement range of missiles

Hunter on Germany with Mavericks is a great example it’s fast and if a SPAA doesn’t move he’s cooked. I can climb about 3km then fire from 12km out and snipe him with a MAV

You really gotta get the Israeli skyhawks, GBU-8 for the A-4E and mavs for the A-4N are insanely fun to use (granted you have the A-7D at .3 higher than the A-4N now which gets 2x the mavs while also having 2x GBU-8)

The Ayit is also a beast at 10.0 for its payload

I will add I won’t shoot enemy munitions down in any vehicle that doesn’t have more than 20 missiles. With how finicky it can be to hit aircraft at top tier it’s better to save the missiles to only defend your platforms and kill the enemy air. Even then most won’t play SPAA because of FnF helicopters.

Additionally some nations just won’t pull CAS because they are overtiered. Seriously who’s gonna pull the F-35 at 10.7 when the AJS exists or the A7 on Japan at 12.0 because they don’t have a CAS at their tier

It’s a lot of balance problems in general, I mainly only see strong CAS get pulled

For reference for people who don’t know the loadouts of the vehicles

8x spikes are manageable but 16 of them… It’s baaaaaaad

We need tank based LDIRCM (which is an add-on for Trophy and Iron Fist)

Doesn’t even matter they just sit behind a hill and I die, and then they rearm and I’m left with nothing. The only vehicle able to handle the FnF helicopter spam is the Pantsir SMV

Also the cost between the good loadouts and bad loadouts are minimal, particularly at the higher BRs. There is just no incentive to run unguided bombs on something like a Tonka or F111 given that GBUs cost the same amount. Which means that if you are going to spawn CAS there is just no reason to spawn in anything other than the good loadouts.

Making base cost for aircraft cheaper gives better access to CAP, then reduce the cost for the weaker loadouts (like unguided weapons above 11.0 for example) and you get more people to use weaker CAS which is overall less of a threat

950sp to spawn 4 IR guided GBUs or PGMs is absurd considering you can spawn 6 kh-38MTs for the same price or 6 kh-29TE for less

You sound like a Gulf War tank commander giving an interview post-battle

That’s not me lol, that was a video playing in the background as I listened lol

I rarely share clips of me listening to stuff or with my audio on lol

Oh
Still the guy talking sounds like a Desert Storm tank commander
