Hello, id like to bring up that IRIS-T etc, are just super op, they fly all the way to my airfield, wich is 30km away from the battlefield, just to kill me.
like we asked to nerf cas not add a vehicle that makes it impossible
SLM is hard countered by tanks, hope that helps :-)

Still good against drones
We went from “just spawn SPAA” to “just spawn tank”
it’s truly beautiful

Im looking forward to when people start complaining about camping tanks or unkillable MBTs and the answer is “just spawn planes” :P
Already been happening for years, it’s a war thunder standard by now and any attempt to change it will probably make it worse

Imp the SLM is actually’ pretty balanced. However airfield are just wayyyy to close to the battlefield. They already sit inside pantsuit range in most maps, let alone the IRIS-T
the whole “CAS helps counter camping tanks or just heavily armored tanks” argument was pretty stupid anyway.
No MBT is powerful enough that it needs CAS to be countered and most camping spots can be dealt with by tanks themselfs.

I still remember the lame argument saying that CAS players spawn planes on the detriment of their own team because they can’t engage on ground level. We can now turn that upside down and say that people spawn SLM on the detriment of their own team because SLM can’t really engage any ground unit, it’s just cannon fodder for the most spawned vehicle type in the game.
It’s honestly amazing when you reach the times where you can use their own arguments against them.

From my experience on the forums, that “CAS is needed to fight this and that” narrative is being pushed by mostly sub-par players that actually need some kind of a crutch to engage better enemy players.
Obviously that doesn’t really represent the true state of the game, which is why in other games where competitive rankings actually exist the opinions of the lower skilled players are automatically being discarded.
Oh no, this tank with 50 pixels of armor in front managed to kill me which is unfair. The game better let me spawn a plane that can fire off missiles basically with impunity from like 10km+ just so I can kill that pesky tank.

Iris is defenseless on the ground and the high up antenna sticks out from behind most terrain features. So spawn a tank and try to take it out. I quite often lose Iris to ground units.
Thats been a problem for tall SPAA for years though, Ito was one of the first to have that problem, it really means we needs new maps to account for these types of problems are a rework of overpressure on radars. If we remove the area where the radar peak out your just going to blind them from a larger area, then you’ve also just alienated the smaller SPAA’s that have short radars and now they cant see without moving into wven more dangerous spots.

Don’t forget, they also told you to grind up another tech tree or two just to fight them, “just spawn a plane bro” whenever we said that SPAAs at the current moment we’re not powerful enough to fight CAS (OTOMATIC, Imp, Tor, ADATS, etc.)
