I do wish we could have our dynamic spawn mode back. Sadly, players yelled for it to be removed.

If only. A mode like that would be a breath of fresh air in this so-stale-it’s-mummified game.

Well the problem of Tank Only focuses more on balance issues.
The GRB keeps the balance from breaking by combining bad tanks with good SPAA/Jets/Heli etc, making every nation worth trying.
However, this method no longer works in TO, because now players can only rely on their ground units, and some nations are not really good at it: you can’t expect a Challenger 2 to win over a 122/A7 if both are experiecned players. Although some nations might have pretty good support vehicles( LT/TD/IFV ), but in the end they still need MBT to do the face off job.
Therefore, in TO players will tend to choose nations with good MBT and above-average support vehicles, and the whole battle mode would quickly become a Leopards Vs Leopards mode.

Not very different than how it is now, where the entire team is just nothing but one of three nations, and then one or two people from minor nations.

Not to mention how garbage the maps are and would only further exacerbate those issues.
To add to the fact that Minor nations have less tanks to field through much of the BR spectrum, ontop of them being bad due to terrible modeling, overtiering or general lackluster performance.

Hell, the new SPAAs and SPAAs as a whole suffer from how absolutely garbage the maps are. They have basically ZERO room to actually maneuver and position to deal with CAS threats, and it’s even worse for the new top tier SPAA because so many of them are so damn large.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m thinking of going competitive just for something new. As of right now I just screw around in Customs with friends while we do various games like Hide and Seek, Prop Hunt (with the new SPAAs), and our personal favourite: 9/11.
What is 9/11? Well, it’s a fun game where we spawn into a city map on Ground maps (Alaska, Sun City, etc.) and one person has to try and fly his plane into the largest building. The other team can use whatever they want to try and prevent them from crashing (minus “Fox 3” missiles, because that’s too easy). Honestly, the only reason I got good at avoiding SPAAs is because of that game.

We need larger maps for the new spaa to work effectively. On the few maps where you can kind of hide them, they can work really well.

Unhealthy is right
If I had them, I would try. Strela shoots, otomatic shoots, pants1r shoots. Zsu shoots.
What kind of team members do you get that you don’t have a single player on your team who can shoot down recon drones…
if someone was reading this thread without context, they would never know the gamemode is called “ground RB”
aircraft would probably continue to sell. but they should add it regardless

God I love playing on Sweden and Advance to Rhine with all the buildings blocking your view
Valley maps also are very enjoyable as someone that likes to play anti air. Gotta love being unable to spot and intercept planes right up until they drop their A2G load

Strelas don’t have guns
Planes would still sell for sure, but the point is that from a business PoV Gaijin would want to maximise the incentive for ground players to buy helis and planes.
Strela have PKM mounted.
Oh it’s a dream for CAS players. Especially in the A spawn area on Rhine. Literally drop a single 1,000 pounder, and you get four elims and a bunch of assists. I’d know, because I’ve done it.

Good luck shooting down drones with those lol
Yeah, let me know when you can cross map a drone with a 7.62×54R

Come on, it have PKM, so it DO have a gun.
The fact that you will probably never shoot down a drone is a different story.
