They could, as long as that doesnt then massively impact its performance and thus result in its BR moving
The only reasonable place to spawn AA at would be the Airfield and you’d be totally useless at protecting other players over there
What about a cleared area between map and forward helicopter spawn
Or they can operate at frontlines since unless CAS gets weapons specifically to beat AA then the option to kill with ground vehicles should remain
CAS already got weapons specifically to beat AA
Putting AA in an area where they are untouchable by other ground players is stupid imo it would be easier for CAS to annihilate the Ground players if AA was placed elsewhere

That’s because they just copy and paste the seeker form aim120a/b which is just completely BS and took away its improved HOBS which it has IRL.

like what? no AGM-45, 78, no ALARM, no HARM, no AARGM

Glide bombs and anything with GNSS if I have to guess
that isnt specifically to beat AA though
to get around it sure, but glide bombs and JDAMs are pretty versatile
True, but that else stays in same general area through the match? You wouldn’t use them against MBTs, thats for sure
They don’t even need specific weaponry. Hammers, Kh38 and even mavs will likely still do more than fine against these new spaa.
EDIT: at least on the good cas platforms like the F-15E/I, Su-30SM and Rafale. Worse platforms might have more dificulties.

well outside of GRB there are many targets to hit with GPS guided stuff. in GRB, it just happens that only one thing that GPS stuff can effectively deal with appears in that mode
I don’t really see the need for them when 38’s, Hammers and heck even Mav’s currently clown AA as hard as they do.
All these new AA’s are worse than Pantsir so it ain’t even like CAS is under any real need to ‘level up’ as it were.

The issue is aircraft that dont have 38s, Hammers or Mavs.
Also would be fun gameplay for other gamemodes to just ground. Like ASB.

there shouldnt be a problem with dedicated SEAD weaponry and aircraft like the F-105G, EA-6B, F-4G, with AGM-78’s since they dont pose a real threat to anything besides big SPAA
if MIM-23 and Soviet SAM’s start appearing at cold war BR’s they become completely necessary, even now i dont think they would be op at all
I don’t think weaponry should be added to the general game that will make a gamemode near unplayable again. I would be fine with those weapons if they were excluded from ground.
Imagine if Gaijin added the Patriot or S-400 as a playable SPAA in ground and at the same time also replaced all current airfield aa with patriots in air. You wouldn’t hear the end of the air players complaints.
The problem is that those AA are already on life support lol.
There’s just no real need for yet another counter to them, when they’re already being countered hard enough.
you can turn your radar off and AGM-78’s will enter another zip code
And then you die to the Mav/Hammer/38/Brim you don’t see coming.

you dont have to leave it turned off for too long with the earlier ARM’s
