Spawn cost for CAS is currently balanced for how powerful CAS is. The idea that CAS should not only be nerfed to the point that it’s near unusable, but also have spawn cost increased at the same time is insane.
i understand that you want the aircraft to be at least slightly realistic, but we are talking about the players targeted by CAS, not whether the aircraft have a perfect realistic loadout.
just because some aircraft should be performing better than how it is now, doesnt make it balanced, let alone underpowered.
functionally they would be different, because there wouldnt be aircraft that kill you almost every game.
in ARB, CAS bombs. in GRB, CAS bombs.
in ARB, there are aircraft. in GRB, there are aircraft and tanks.
how different are they? conceptually not much, and yet they obviously play completely differently.
this doesnt argument the creation of a tank-only gamemode nor does it argument the nerfing of CAS.
i know why you criticize it, but i have yet to see a single argument that makes sense against adding a tank-only gamemode.
the most sensible thing ive ever read is practically “i would have less defenseless players to harass”.
Then clearly you have never tried to fight a Pantsir in most high tier strike aircraft then, because most cant
ive fought CAS in a pantsir and sometimes i get an easy kill, but when the enemy is licking the ground and then suddenly peeks and launches 10 missiles, there is nothing even the pantsir can do, not mentioning any weaker CAS.
CAS vs SPAA is fundamentally not balanced and it doesnt help all the other ground players who have nothing to do with this exchange, yet get killed because the CAS is invulnerable to the SPAA in a certain situation
You’re right. SPAA is many times easier and cheaper to play, having an extremely low skill floor and ceiling, and providing no real penalty for dying

A huge help would be if they removed the kh38 and replaced it with the ir guided KH29 there was no reason for them to skip all the way to kh38.
which is so different with CAS right
(it isnt in any way and SPAA has a multitude of disadvantages compared to CAS)
plus your argument doesnt even address the problem with CAS in the first place
The problem with CAS is that some certain vehicles at top tier are too powerful when there’s no Pantsirs on the enemy team. This one specific scenario does not warrant nerfing every CAS vehicle at every BR to the point of unusability.
Even looking at 1.0 - 10.7. Its seems to be the same handful of aircraft everyone complains about but then apply those aircraft performance to everything else as if they were all equal.
i.e the Lancaster/PE-8 dropped a super massive bomb and killed everyone therefore nerf all heavy bombers

nerf those specific planes and also add tank-only ground
Then advocate for specific nerfs, not universal nerfs.
Also, the idea that TO mode would be good, or that Gajin would add it is dumb.
youre scared that this would take away your free defenseless kills?
because there isnt another reason to say something as wrong as that

That argument is the same as me saying:
“TO only players just want to be able to spawn camp without risk of being bombed”
Its a stupid argument that shows you have no interest in any kind of meaningful discussion on rebalancing CAS
There is no way to balance CAS in this game.
No matter how You look at it, TO is the best solution for everyone, otherwise just accept constant nerfs/buffs
