Neither did I, did I?
Touché I guess…
It used to be ok until gaijin decided to make realistic battle like arcade.
As long as Mommy and Daddy keep purchasing these younger players premiums things will not get any better. We live in a world where everyone wants it right now and no need to grind and earn anything so yeah. Just have to make it fun as possible and look out for yourself in matches and forget about playing as a team. Every match is one sided anyway.
Before I “snapped” and went Ground AB only
I gave shot at GRB every few months
Call me dumb, unskilled and whatever you wish
But I personally had difficult time focusing on tank-to-tank combat and keeping a lookout for enemy planes which would try to bomb you
Relying on your allies to defend skies always turned out as bad idea and if I went as SPAA, often enough I’d get spawncamed by enemy team which steamrolled our team either by complete ground domination or with CAS.

When was that? And how?
When Ground Battles were introduced, they still had markers, even for the enemy team, which was more arcade than it is now.
Also all aircraft had bomb reticles in 3rd person, which was also more arcade than it is now.
The only arcadish change they made was the removal of friendly fire.

The most amusing thing about using planes in Ground RB is that You are able to spawn in F4U-4B with 2x 1000 lbs bombs after just capping a zone with reserve tank.
What is a point of playing a tank if I can just get into a plane which doesn’t care if it is a downtier/uptier as I can eaisly destroy even the best enemy vechicles without an issue.

One of the best nerfs that would fit realistic battles is to remove teammate markers for both CAS and Fighter planes.
It would add skill aspect towards CAS

They made it easier with less sp to get planes, I remember a time in GFRB even though it had markers not as much CAS as we have now. I do not know what caused the change but the air was not full of CAS like it is now.

And it is mostly revenge bombing I will never stop saying this one.
Aircraft were never as expensive as they are now.
The only difference is that now tanks cost only 25% of what they used to (a heavy in a full downtier used to be 450SP), which leaves a few more SP on the way to the first air spawn.
Revenge bombing is a problem that could be easily fixed and I think, there is nobody who denies that it is problematic.
I like the suggestion @SatsuJ made about removing the markers though.
Many players on here never get the spawn points for multiple CAS in GRB and on the rare occasion they do well enough to spawn a second plane then why shouldn’t they be able to and enjoy themselves? SP for CAS is pretty high so that limits it already.
CAS whiners are people who don’t fly so they only see the negative.I know as I was one.
Kill and be killed that is WT,getting hit by CAS is annoying but also trivial if you fly yourself.

- Say that they should use SPAA
- If that doesn’t work, say they should use Planes
- If that doesn’t work, say that it is their team fault
- If that doesn’t work, repeat.

Doing the TOG event and i havent died to plane for days now. Same for heli, died to plane only when i spawned plane or heli. Simply a skill issue, GRB is combined arms mode, deal with it. I would even prefer if you could take plane as first spawn as you were able to. Still remember spawning 4x 1000kg Do-217 at beggining of matches.

Less not forget claiming that anybody who complains about CAS has never or do not use planes.
Or how quick they are to defecate all over the floor whenever a SPAA or SAM system is added that can actually compete reliably against them.
It’s funny how often SPAA and SAMs get nerfed despite already being the more skill orientated of the two.
Also the “if it doesn’t happen to me it doesn’t happen”.

I know, right! Decided to create a thread in suggestions, but seeing as so far, that I think like 5 out of 6 suggestions I posted got denied, I don’t have high hopes of my post being approved, lol
There is only one thing that I really don’t like about CAS and that are those 12.000lb bombs that has not much to do with “close” air support.
So I thought well if you can’t beat them join them
Stopped reading there, thank you for agreeing that CAS is unbalanced.
End of topic.
