And because it was just auto aim and, it was a bullshit and no skill play. Looks you want noob-like gameplay
Like one where CAS can destroy any SPAA without it being able to fight back?

Of course it can, but you need skill. Dont you have it?
I have a skill of being able to destroy most SPAA without them being able to deal with me ;)
Well done, so you know how to play
And I know that is really a noob-like gameplay, not the tank vs tank combat without air.
@Guilhermefg @ULQ_LOVER You two drop the attitude or take it to PM instead of derailing the topic.
There’s no need to throw provocations or to make it personal, keep it tidy and civil.
No
Again since you can’t seem to understand:
They are different games
Says the guy whose argument has consistently been asking why and then dismissing the reasons presented and asking why again.
If you want tanks without planes, you can go to WOT you don’t have to keep replying…. 🤷🏻♂️ good for the goose and all

I’m unaware of any post I’ve made where I asked for auto aim or “noob like gameplay”
CAS is getting out of hand in ground battles sim. A hard cap on how many air vehicels in a match at once can be must be set. No matter what. Air RB players come and cheat in sim thinking they are safe in dadtion to not even spawn in tanks but just fly and leave. I sat one whole match and shoot all of my 25 roland missles. For 6 hours its utter trash games one after a nother and if not for the event i unistall. infurating is a understament. Dont get me start on how the whole blue team is consient of muppets that REFUSE! to spawn in any kind of SPAA or SAM system in addtion that blue air has the lowest brain function that ever where recorded. F16 starfing ground targets while enemy airpalnes atgm there own forces.
This is circus of the highest degree and has nothing to do with ground forces at all. Playing ground is impossible right now.

In fairness of bluefor spawning aircraft instead of SPAA.
US and UKs ADATS can barely take out anything
Israel doesn’t have a top tier SPAA
Italy only has a weak SPAAG.
Spawning in something like an F-16 instead is probably the better decision. Though not taking out enemy aircraft yeah that’s an issue

Eddie,
I’m not arguing for the removal of CAS by a longshot, anymore than I agree with those who argue for the removal of arty (as you know from that thread).
But let’s perform CAS with CAS aircraft, not “strategic” bombers, or if we’re going to have B-29 CAS (as one example) than let’s up the risk level for all concerned, as was the case if you decided to have that kind of danger close bombing:
For the U.S. 8th Air Force, the average CEP in 1943 was 370 meters (1,200 ft), meaning that only 16% of the bombs fell within 300 meters (1,000 ft) of the aiming point. A 230-kilogram (500 lb) bomb, standard for precision missions after 1943, had a lethal radius of only 18 to 27 meters (60 to 90 ft). By 1945, the 8th was putting up to 60% of its bombs within 300 meters (1,000 ft), a CEP of about 270 meters (900 ft).
It’s telling that air leaders requested U.S. troops pull back 3000 meters (pretty much larger than any ground map in WarThunder) from the bombing line for Operation Cobra in 1944 and that the heavy bombers dropped from between 11000 and 15000 feet.
We should be seeing “Jabos” and not heavies.
And we need a hard-deck for the heavies or an improved (deadlier) anti-air environment for the heavies in particular. The whole SPAAG/SAM/interceptor set-up probably needs a relook, but I’ll stop there for the moment.
How’s this for an idea: Increase SP for aircraft depending on how many players are already flying. That way, the number of players flying is kept a bit lower, without keeping it from happening. (This way, it could be difficult for a team to get as many players flying as currently can happen.)
hush!!!
It’s so easy to kill those them when you got a daily to kill spaas.
All jokes aside, you are 100% correct.
The MIGHT hit, but 99% of the time they are just warning the plane.

Aside from that idea infringing on player’s freedom of choice and being outright biased against aircraft, it would only encourage people to get into aircraft quicker through whatever means necessary. While cap-and-fly is generally a myth nowadays, your idea would encourage similar efforts strictly on the basis of time.
A more sensible idea is to open up players’ freedom of choice with despawn points, SP rebates and Fighters First. Stop trying to restrict players’ freedom and start expanding it–then everyone will be able to do as they wish, as guided by matches’ progression and what yields success.
We had the Battle of the Bulge where famously air support was not available and think of a No CAS GRB variant as that. A GRB Game with no planes seems like a natural move to me in 2024,Tanks/Land based vehicles on their own have become such a big deal and so many people want War Thunder to be ground based only for the Tank aspect.
Its not anything petty or childish as some kind of "Plane hate " or other bizarre concept.
As for heavy bombing of German Armoured Divisions you can read many accounts of that happening and heavy Bombers took out more German tanks than localized CAS ever did. Try using a heavy bomber in the GRB game, its a lucky dip in many ways and getting X5 kills is no certainty even in a Pe 8 etc.
You have to guess and guess good and getting it wrong with such a big bomb is messy and embarrassing.
The issue there is haw many games you have to play as Russia to even get and grind the Pe8 (same with any big bomb for any nation) so many wont know about the issues of using one,they will just be on the receiving end of something extremely unfair until they too get such a plane like the Pe 8 ,He 111 or Lancaster etc
My take is that if you advocate ,support enjoy CAS/Combines arms then you except all that is wrong with it and that is fine.You give and you take in equal measure but don’t keep asking about how you can dial it back when it was made to do in the game what it does in reality.
We have big SP cost already ,we have SPAA already ,CAS is a finished article and if its not making you happy then leave the game .If we want a positive ,stay in the game solution’s then let us all jump out and enjoy the No CAS GRB version of the game which we need.
Dont be looking for Balance when talking CAS because CAS is using a hammer to crack a walnut, its playing the aerial advantage and that is more pronounced in the more modern era.Tank busting helicopters or the A10 etc are made to devastate tanks but how hard did the player base beg for them in the game.They are begging for submarines as we speak in Naval ,demanding a huge rod for their own back in a ship based game.
I’ll laugh so hard when the "How do we balance subs " thread finally arrives.
If you want a break form CAS or want to enjoy a game without being hit by a bomber or A10 you wont even see then why not allow players to have that option?
I feel like a stuck record but that is because nobody seems to take a thing form what is being written on here either by myself or anybody else asking for a TO Version of GRB
Sorry for the long winded diatribe brother : )

I belive people are just arguing for the sake of it most of the time.
People who like combined gameplay won’t be affected by TO and need to balance things out between ground and air while people who just want to play ground, will also be happy.
It is just a win-win for everybody.
