By that logic fighters are imbalanced when compared to attackers as well, because they are faster, more maneuverable and can dictate the engagement.
So I guess, we need an attacker-only air mode, too, huh?

Well the answer is simple really, you don’t.
If you’re in a tank you hope they bomb someone else or that they’re exceptionally stupid even by CASoid standards and flub their bomb drop, assuming they don’t just suicide into you to ensure the kill.
The only thing that can reasonably fight back and win is something with a top mounted gun of reasonable calibre and firing angle and even then there is a significant chance that if you do kill them they will just crash into and blow you up anyway.
But yes please carry on pretending that a tank on tank engagement and a plane on tank engagement are basically the same and both equally as fair.
It’s funny to read.
Well you see, my incredibly stunted friend.
Both of those are planes.
And play by the same basic ruleset.
And a mode exists for planes, it’s called ARB.
Do try and keep up.
Dead is dead in WT and that is frustrating.It’s why so many don’t get on with the game.Boom you are gone.If it happens twice that is it.You are out .No score ,no CAS option nothing.Thanks for coming ,Goodbye.What do you do? Turn the PC off in disgust? Go again and hope you have a better game?
My point is at least if you fly you give yourself the option of sharing the pain just like acquiring the ground vehicle that is bugging you or simply watching a replay to see how someone got ten kills and killed you three times in a game.You learn the hard way in WT and you can cry about it or toughen up.
It took me along time to become as average as I am :)
Many players get high scores at the highest tier with all the CAS around .Good luck to them.
Anywhere between 1.0-11.0

My favorite OP plane. Planes was part of the game from very start, nobody will cut out base of the game. Main objective is capture points, can plane do it? No. Except Harrier. So tanks still bring victory in GRB. I don’t see any problem.
When I die in a tank to a tank that is because I put myself in a position where it could happen. When I die in a tank to a plane, it is mostly because I couldn’t do anything about it.
But You can still fight back, tanks can’t.
Ok, tell me how You are able to fight against a plane coming at You with 500kg bomb at the angle where You can’t use Your gun or mounted mg?

So your argument against CAS is a big list of everything that can and does go wrong when using CAS?
Wow.That’s clever.(Sorry no sarcastic meme)
The amount of times I have had a great start in a tank ,jumped into my PE8 or P47 and royally f***d myself right up is many.Gone from hero to zero when I should have stuck to armour.Ruined a good a lead and contributed nothing to my team(except laughter at my flying skills)
Because I know how easy it is to shit out in a plane is why I know CAS is not OP and there is a place for it.Same tactical choice as using a fast scout or a long range glass cannon.May work spectacularly may not.

Do you know that aircraft engines are loud? You can hear it from kilometer away. Enough time to react.

So your reasoning for CAS not being unbalanced is that you personally can’t do anything but fly into the ground?
Incredible.
Truly CAS is the weakest.
Needs buffed, SP cost to the zero.
How? You simply dont get spotted in first place. If you see plane is coming, stop moving, hug a building,pretend you dont exist, hide under trees. Then when its flying away just MG it or gun it down. .50cals shred planes and put em on fire even easier than any SPAA does.

We are not going to go with the situation when air user doesn’t know how to drop bombs. Still waiting.
Tanks reder faster than builidings/obstacles. Then, You are in a fight so You don’t always have a chance to hide, another thing is that there are maps where You just simply can’t hide.
Again, he is coming at You at the angle where You are unable to use MG/Gun, what do You do?
If i didn’t noticed in in right time i am trying to drive out. But it is my fault in first place.
hug a building
You know that planes get a top down view right?
hide under trees
You know foliage despawns before tanks do right?
just fiddybro
No comment required.
Also as a side note I find it funny that the solution proposed by CAS aplogists that claim CAS is required to deal with camping is…drum roll…to camp!
Truly breathtaking levels of self awareness.

You can run from the bomb, wait till the drop,then run, many are unable to process that lol. Or when you go,suddenly stop,the bomb will fall far infront of you. Idk where tanks render faster than buildings,cause when i spawn i see buildings and no tanks lol. So what kind of cheating config you use, i bet you are one of these using transparent leaves so they can shoot through bushes. And again, in entire week now, i died to plane about three or four times, all in top tier sim yday with F-16s lobbing mavs by flying low so Pantsirs couldnt detect it. If you keep dying to plane,you do something wrong.

You know we are reaching peak comedy when CAS apologists are unironically quoting the “Don’t stand near the bomb!” joke line in loading screens.

Drive out? Again, we are not talking about the situation that person using the air doesn’t know how to bomb.
Especially from 500kg bomb dropped right at Your tank with 1.5s fuse? Because this is how I drop bombs lol.
lmao, if a person bombing doesn’t take that into consideration then it is his fault.

You know that there are moments in the game where You are fighting other ground units?
1 vs 2(enemy tank + plane) and you lose. Nothing abnormal
