You cannot classify them as light tanks and then not give them scouting. They should keep their SPAA designation, they can still get a higher spawn cost while keeping that designation.
Not a single “su30/su34” has managed to fly to the field.
When I am against them.
Issue with SPAA designation is it means other vehicles won’t increase in cost when you spawn.
Which in the last 5 matchs ive had my drone shot down instantly by SLMs so there goes that lmao, also no idea if I just have terrible teammates but from doing more then 20 scouts in one life I had a grand total of 3 assists
Why do you have to defend yourself from tanks? You have 15 tanks in your team that will defend you.
You defend tanks from aviation, tanks defend you from tanks
and again as I have said thats an issue with gaijin buffing the KH38MT, now look at every other plane that has to get well with the launch range of the SLM to even fire, not to mention because its IR you get no RWR ping after the first launch, and again a SLM player with 2 brain cells can also just intercept any CAS launched at them its literally point and click

The SLM first spawn has definitely curbed a lot of the scout cheesing down, which in my opinion is a good thing, it is pretty silly to have your fully loaded F15 cost less than 400SP. Nontheless ive also been able to scout during these matches with the drone so its not like SLM has completely destroyed any and all notions of scouting.
it is somewhat dependent on your teammates having a semi functioning frontal lobe yes, but also depends on map. Large open field maps like tunisia or poland will make getting the scout assists slower since the frequency of engagements is lower than for example maps that force funnels. Rhine or 38th parallel around the C point are extremely fast at getting you those scout assists.
If youre in the scout, rn the best thing you can technically do is scout out where the enemy SLMs are and go pay them a visit or fly lower to the ground. Otherwise most SPAAs are going to be able to smite your drone almost instatly
Well, if you re-classify them as light vehicles they get scouting, all light vehicles at rank 2 and above get scouting. At rank 6 an above they also get the scout drone, so the Gepards and Gepard copy cats would get that as well.
Thats pretty much a rule, just like heavy tanks and tank destroyers cannot call for artillery.
It’s easier to get the kills needed to buy a plane than to scout the cost down.
Then reclassify them to tank destroyers.
So the SPAA should get punished when their team doesn’t catch a rat or a flanker?
yea your asking for teamwork in a game that does not incentivise teamwork
Again, GNSS has no effect on 38MT and Hammers existed before this update as well.
Giving CAS their GNSS missiles to counter current AAs would be a great thing, as those pose little to no threat to tanks that aren’t basically sleeping in one spot.
No SPAA = CAS spam and tanks spawncamping = your team brought it upon themselves by not covering flanks.
This is why I like 10.3. AGM-65A won’t lock vehicles from long range, so it’s great for sniping campers and SPAA.
Mate, I really would like to agree with you, but these things are SPAAs. That’s their role, it’s their entire purpose.
Nothing speaks against raising their individual spawn cost, but these vehicles should keep their designation.
Yes. If you can’t defend AA , be prepared to get a kh38 in the head.
Until you get in a 10.7 match where 65D snipes your tank from 10km+, outside of range of your AAs.
IR weapons can acquire track lock if something in range passes through their FOV, which makes them much more dangerous than GNSS munitions, even more so with the GNSS drift implemented in the latest update.
Yeah 10.7 imo is where balance tends to get really bad for both tanks v.s tanks and tanks v.s planes.
I don’t know what to tell you guys, but there always are rats that slip through. Not to forget the amount of perfectly designed maps featuring plenty of spots from which you can shoot into the enemy spawn.
Also, honorable mention: Vehicles with low velocity shells (BMD-4, BMP-3, etc), IR ATGMs and/or grenade launchers doing NLOS shenanigans
