CAS itself is not the root of the issue.
Learn to fly like people learn to walk and you won’t have to stay in bed all day.
There it is.
The famous “everybody who complains about CAS never uses planes” argument.
A textbook example.
It really is.
I didn’t say that.I said why cripple yourself? All I hear on this forum is players complaining about how OP something is when all they have to do is obtain the item that so outrageously OP and utilize it themselves.
If CAS so utterly devastating they why are you not out there devastating? Do you hate winning ? do you feel overwhelming remorse when you get a kill?
There is unbalance in CAS that is why people fly in the first place.No tank can do 400mph can it? There is unbalance between an Glass cannon and a Heavy Tank. Just look at how many planes hit the deck in any game,one pass and they are f***ed.Hardly game changing.
I will agree that War Thunder had overburdened the game with units of all kinds in pursuit of money and in terms of realism in game has lost sight in many respects.We all have issues in the game.
Don’t ask for something to be balanced, just use the broken thing yourself and there is no problem.
Go then .Explain your little picture.
Nah I love to see Russian team burn and feed my F-16C
But I’m. I’m using CAS in Ground Battles and that is how I know that they are unbalanced.
Yet both of them can hit each other and kill. While on the ground You can’t do nothing about the plane really.
“Nah I love to see Russian team burn and feed my F-16C”
Exactly.Bring the bomb fodder because until I get the SP I am that bomb fodder.Give and take.
If you are bomb fodder, you won’t get SP, will you now?
Especially when someone bombs you in first 3 minutes of battle
“If you are bomb fodder, you won’t get SP, will you now?
Especially when someone bombs you in first 3 minutes of battle”
Sometimes I don’t get the SP that is my point.A plane is not always a right ,it is a privilege earned.
And then people wonder why one-and-done players are a thing
People are just as likely to ODL in rage when facing an ultra fast vehicle like the M18 or Puma.Especially if its Post war vs WW2.How much of the game do you want to alter?
It’s not. CAS is fine at a lot of BRs. It’s just unbalanced at some BRs where gaijin have made really bad decisions regarding balance and BRs.
“It’s not. CAS is fine at a lot of BRs. It’s just unbalanced at some BRs where gaijin have made really bad decisions regarding balance and BRs”
The OP didn’t state what BR they were referring to.The game does indeed alter as you progress.
The game would need to make adjustments at high tier while leaving WW2 era alone possibly.
So tell me at which B.R. You have a chance against an air unit while driving a tank?
When you are one shotted from halfway across the map what chance did you have? When it happens a second time and you are out the game what chance then? That is the game sadly.Then the next game you do the same to someone else and the bad luck is theirs.Its the only way of making online gaming work.You kick ass you get your ass kicked.
With the new spawn protection there is a good chance that a bomber will squander their only chance on targets that are invulnerable or you just plain miss,then you have to waste half the game returning to rearm and you watch yourself drop right down the rankings.You can team kill big time as well.CAS is a gamble.There are no certainties in the game.
Why not just have a red team and a blue team with the same single vehicle like something from the 80s? Perfect balance ,little fun and skill.
OK maybe top tier is an unplayable hell.The reason I dont go there.Modern warfare leaves no hiding place so WT got that right.
When you are one shotted from halfway across the map what chance did you have?
An equal chance to strike them back or out-manoeuvre them as you are both bound by the same basic ruleset on the ground.
Do you think I don’t sit under a tree not firing my canon when a plane is above me? How do I survive in a game of GRB when it has CAS? How does anybody?
