Im certain you have misunderstood or misread mode name. Its called ground targets battle

Personally, I dont really care about this addition because kh38 carriers will mostly use mt version because its still efficient even against new spaa unless you are straight flying brick.
At this point (when teams consist of random countries (china and us vs ussr and israel for example)), devs should allow matchmaker to allow ussr play against ussr, germany - vs germany etc. It would be more balanced than what we have rn. Also kh38 enjoyers will have a chance to taste their own medicine.
U can mark the spot where u have ur sight stabilized at. Then deactivate sight stab and viola u have ur ccip. U have to be quick so that marker wont disappear
I ve killed countless pantsirs with that
The core problem is the size of the map. When you insert air defense asset, which is normally operated dozens of km behind the front line, into 1200x1200m battle space few hundreds meters from front line, it can never end well.
10x10km maps with more spawn location options would solve so many issues…

That would also give enemy CAS 5 - 8km more freedom to approach the battlefield.
That an 10x10km maps is 13 minutes just to cross it.
Well… Yes but also cas would have to take some time on spotting to get this 4+ kills. If gaqjackjob really wants realism then they should get rid of these small cramped crap maps on top tier grb

Never occurred to you that spawns can be placed elsewhere then edge of the map?
Some can be placed in rear (for support vehicles) some close to the frontline (for those who wish to knife fight)…
Most forward spawns can be limited to light/scout vehicles…
Possibilities are endless…

This is very interesting gameplay. It turns out that the aircraft can launch a salvo of such missiles directly from the airfield, land, reload for 15-20 seconds and make a new salvo. At the same time, the new SPAA are not able to effectively intercept the KH-38. And the question is why introduce this into the game? The X-38 is the fastest missile in the game, it is faster than the FOX-3.

The Kh-38MT cannot be launched with GPS guidance. It’s not very scary
That is the million dollar question. It ties into why gaijin are refusing to address the KH-38MT’s very existance.
This update isn’t their finest hour and it’s very sad.

Update in theory: great SPAAs to finally combat CAS
Update in reality: nerf SPAAs so they are DOA, nerfed CAP so then you cannot reliably take out CAS with a plane, and buffed CAS even more.

Funny how when it was USA jets farming ground it was “Just pull a plane bro”, now when its Russia farming ground it’s “NO! planes cost to much”
That is, Pantsir existed for 2 years and they did not give anything to the US and other countries to counter it, but then they gave the West new SPAA and Russia suddenly needed to strengthen its weapons.

This is a combat game, not a logistics one.
@Demokrat4
That tactic has been used for years, it isn’t new to the game.
Pantsir is inferior to most of the new SPAA being added.
Pantsir has been countered by CAS since 2022.
@GALWAYLION-live
Nerfing requires them to be in a state on live server then negatively changed, which has not happened.
That and while there will likely be bugs with a number of them, most are indeed better than Pantsir.

Even then, those SPAAs are DOA. “But then planes wouldn’t have a chance” that’s the point. You should be punished for playing planes in a GROUND match.

You should punish planes for playing poorly.
Forcing them low, forcing them to do tactics that are less effective, that’s SPAA-CAS balance.
You can right now do the tactic on live server what they did on dev.
You’ll 100% be safe, and your explosives will be more effective cause 570kg of effective explosive filler on GBU-31.
Of course you’ll be less effective than IR AGM spam, which is the primary thing that the new SPAA is impacting.

Eh, I’m a firm believer in Tanks Only. I was actually excited for the new SPAA since I thought the new stuff would bring balance (AKA making CAS players fear). Nope, instead they destroyed every single missile for them (IRIS-T was nerfed from 60Gs to 40Gs in the first day, not including the effective distance to fire from or to even get an elim). Now top tier is going to be even more hellish.

SLM seems to be decent against CAS which is good news.
First dev server information shouldn’t be laid as fact.
As for what I actually want to respond to.
I 100% love the tank only arguments over people complaining about the fact it takes more spawns to get similar rewards as game modes without multiple lives.
Yea ik driving can be boring but maps need to be bigger anyways. City maps should get removed from top tier imo. Most of the maps were made when t5 was top tier and it was completely fine. But now u can go twice or 3 times faster and having insane range of weapon. Same with ARB
