Low-mid BR GRB suffers from CAS, too many planes

They can bomb you and your team out of your SPAA range. Even if you managed to shoot down the plane, it has most likely already caused significant damage.
And very often you can’t do anything, because there are 3-4 planes flying at the same time, and while you are busy with one of them, the other 2-3 just easily kill you and you can do nothing but rage quitting.

And there is a distinct gameplay loop: start on a tank, die from a CAS, take a SPAA, maybe kill 1 plane and die from boredom again, because there are 2-3 more trying to kill you.

Just one lucky (and boring) game:

7 destroyed, and there were 4-5 more planes. Is this Ground RB or Air RB with free tank kills?

Also, SPAA gameplay is awful.

If you are going to close this topic due to duplication, at least provide links to these “existing topics” that you are referring to.

Yeah its def a problem and then the CAS mains will just say “Skill issue” or “Get better”… Yeah cuz I’m able to defend myself from and A2D1 with a 4000lb bomb and still more bombs in a Jagdtiger when my machine gunner has been long asleep. and they come from everywhere except where I can get my 128 on them.

Seems to prove that SPAA is good enough to defend against these planes, especially when there is only one SPAA existing, using a spaa to exchange one plane is fair enough, , considering the SP cost. Some Cold War SPAAs made CAS hard to play now. The only issue is how to make other players respawn SPAA and play well

It’s not good enough, just а rare 1 out of 50 game when you can do 5+ air kills, required at least 2 spaa in the lineup with boring and frustrating gameplay whole battle staring at the sky, but the number of planes in almost every game is 10+

This issue will likely get solved with the planned CAS SP cost rework.

Let the change come through and see how it effects the current situation with cas. Hopefully only a few more weeks left to deal with them in the current state.

People mostly talking about top tier fire and forget armament, but CAS is way much stronger at low and mid tiers. That’s why i play only 1 spawn, after 2-3 minutes sky is full off planes.

Good “ground” mode, nothing to say…

I just played a game where an enemy bomber destroyed both my spaa and I couldn’t do anything because he was too far away. Second time 250 lb bomb wasn’t even close and still killed me. Fun
