Asking for Sp increase for SPAAs while SU30/34 can send KH38 from airfield and rearm in 30 seconds is insane xD
I believe the spawn points you initially get are set up in a way to allow you to die twice and still have enough SP to spawn in SPAA, not sure if that would work if SPAA had a higher spawn cost

Oh, not yours. Pardon.
These types of statements:
but you can get aircraft to cost 200 sp by getting around 6 scouted targets destroyed
i mean at this point youre just moving the goal post lol. On average you can reduce the cost of Su30s, F15s, F18s, F16, Su34s, to half with just few scouts.
The one with the 33SP is infact a personal record and does require you to scout a lot (19 scout assists to be precise) but it was more to illustrate a point.
Planes are simply able to be reduced in SP cost by a massive way, dont forget that each one of those scout assists on top of reducing the cost by 14% also gives you SP, and as such after just few scouts, even better if they are scout assists on targets you damaged (so you get regular kill assist SP) youre able to bring your plane in. On average im able to bring a plane with full loadout within the first 2-3 minutes, when there is no SPAA, no enemy CAP, nothing to stop the incoming missiles.

to this, not really, its obviously easier with better light tanks, what isnt. But as long as you have a scout drone, you can just print the scout assists. Without scout drone its also not too hard, you just have to actually care about positioning.
I really think that your idea of making SPAA cost more SP when shit with IR missiles cant even defend itself is fucking hilarious. Its like you have condensed your vitriol for dying in a plane into a concentrated drop of stupidity.

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.
