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
The scope makes your eyes ‘fixed’ compared to open sights being wider and more movable.

I would change the scoring, such that pilots were paid better for gaining air superiority, and pay them less for killing tanks.
Id not say no to increased value to play CAP.
Its one thing to sit in an SPAA/CAP ready to deal with hostile CAS, but ultimately sat twiddling your thumbs waiting for something to happen. Its another when the rewards are kinda meh when you do so.
Though I dont necessarily think you should get paid less for playing CAS. Less SP sure, but not SL/RP
You’re not twiddling your thumbs though, that’s the thing… You don’t NEED to spawn it first, you don’t NEED to be doing nothing other than looking to the skies.
True, Though the induced-errors gaijin adds could be removed with minimal harm. Probably also wouldnt be a totally bad thing to drop their BRs a little where applicable.
Im not going to disagree with that (im a crap shot in many SPAA, though I also dont play those BR much)
but I think a few could go down, like the Skink. Felt a tad Over BRed the last time i played it.

Let me put it this way, when I get the “kill SPAAs of the enemy” task… I pull a plane to do it, usually in the 3.3 to 6.7 range as above that they die to fast to get a kill on them.

Yeah, almost like it’s easier to spawn a plane and HVAR the braindead wirbelwind player who doesn’t even know his tank can move than to spend 5 minutes maticulously sneaking an M18 into enemy spawn just to get 1 kill b4 match ends.
Its just easier to kill pre radar/ stinger SPAAs with planes IMO, they are almost zero threat. also I use bombs or guns, I suck with rockets.
