I find the level of concentration to be so much deeper in times when CAS has been absent.It’s a real focus and " in the zone " type thing and CAS just shatters it.
No tank game touches War Thunder in that tank vs Tank moment,that is why I consider it a positive thing not a criticism to call for TO mode.
Keeping CAS is fine but War Thunder at it’s Tank vs Tank peak is just WT at it’s finest and the game would be doing itself a massive favour by having a TO mode.
It would be Tank gaming heaven and GRB bliss.

I would appreciate a lower BR for (at least some) SPAAs. For example the Wiesel. It’s almost impossible to use it as an SPAA because the planes almost flying at mach 1 and you only get a machine canon with max vertical angle of ~45°. Practice in test drive doesn’t help either because the ai planes flying much slower.

I’ve typed out so much, and also deleted it because it’s a well known fact that whatever I put out is derided by stats and mere assumption that I only want to get cheap easy kills and that I’m a bad person for it…
No-one defends my opinion, but I’ll be derided for the days by these sorts of players who think their stats are king, and that anyone else can shut up because checks stats I got more kills than you.
All for the ultimate goal of being able to be blind to any threat, so thus leaves one question… If CAS were to be removed, what would be the next issue they’d want removed because they can’t actually handle the game.
(Edit - Absolutely on-topic, and those false flaggers can go wreck themselves…)
It really takes a lot of practice. And even then, it’s a game of chance due to the high speeds involved. And even with the Kugelblitz, it’s already close to the limit. In a full uptier, you don’t even need to pull it out.

Nothing will ever happen in this regard since game is geared towards selling premium planes .
When weighted against cold hard cash all of your arguments go straight into the bin .
Same goes for arguments about BR’s for Tanks …
Another solution ,play Russians since all their SPAA’s are OP based on Sekrit documents

Play them first before you make such claims.
Simple
Historic loadouts + limits how many planes can spawn per match
Spawn points get bot AAA …one from 10 updates ago from RB
How does this statement relate to the fact that you didn’t play a single Russian SPAA in GRB? In general, your experience with Russian vehicles in the game is limited to the fact that you have only experienced them as opponents. 71 rounds in Russian vehicles in relation to your 15k+ battles indicate a clear lack of experience in handling Russian vehicles. On what do you base your claim that all Russian SPAA are OP? … you didn’t mention any specific SPAA so I assume you’re referring to ALL of them.
Secret documents? Nice claim that you will never be able to prove nor can anyone disprove. Therefore irrelevant.

Honestly, screw top tier anyways. That’s the only place CAS-haters really have an actual argument to make.

I always have a good laugh at the folks who criticize me for not trekking up to top tier quicker…not playing in the dump is the smart move!
I’ll play top tier when I get around to it–it’s not something worth rushing toward, that’s for sure.

I’m with this guy.
My very own opinion is to remove combined arms battles entirely. I’ve known that era in the early days, I do miss it. Those were the days. I’ve never ground a single plane, I boast a competent winrate without having used a single plane or heli ever (besides like 5 times in 10 years for “trying it out”) and that’s my very own bragging right. It completely breaks the rock/paper/scissor aspect of this kind of games. I will not condone it and it’s plain boring too.
But since we know that isn’t happening (I’m no fool) then I’ll gladly settle for a rebalance especially the SP cost for ordinance, especially the completely broken point-n-click adventure minigame of top tier guided stuff. SPAAs at top tier are competent performers tbh. Balancing between nations might benefit some but overall I don’t think SPAA at 11+ is a problem. At mid-tier that’s where CAS is absolute (insert prohibited slurs here) and where SPAAs are completely incompetent at what they do. I’d much rather have a 50 cal on top of every tank to swat the (insert slurs) away. At least you can keep playing the game… You know, that mode, GROUND battles.
Is there space in your opinion for players that enjoy playing GRB as it is?
probably just separate it as a mode, i’m just tired of terrible ground players excelling in ground because they can get in a plane after almost no contribution

As much as I like GRB as it is now, I too long for a break from Combat Air Patrol and SPAA “commitments”

I’ve actually been grinding the event via CAP/SPAA work at the moment (with the odd bit of CAS) I just cant stand playing so much ground in one shot. Though I am an air main

And that’s exactly what this mode is great for. That everyone can fill their role as favourite. Nobody is forced to play a certain role.
However, it can help to be flexible in battle and sometimes bring an aircraft back to the airfield and then leave it. Unfortunately, many people use the -100 ticket option to leave an aircraft …
At this point, a simple thank you to you for making life more bearable for others on the ground! o7

Your welcome. Though I wish CAP was a hell of a lot cheaper (it should be prevented from first spawn, but its beyond me why pure A2A aircraft have an SP cost so high)

The biggest issue with Radar guided SPAAG is that the lead indicator sucks (which I think is an intentional gaijin nerf)
Starstreaks can sometimes be absolutely awesome and other times god-aweful. Though i think the launcher needs the buffs more than the missiles (after they’ve been fixed) Though wouldnt say no to make them actually able to hit recon drones
Wasnt there something on a roadmap somewhere for this?
If not, you can do it already.

Not the same to be honest…
It’s like you’re making out that a scope, with a spiderweb is the same as open sights with the spiderweb…
Very different.
Not really my area of expertise. figured it would be essentially the same. Then sure. Im all down for a proper sight
