Id say yes but thats just always going to be the case at lower BR’s. At 1.0 i can just fly low and quickly hit targets or be a high flyer dropping bombs, nothing we can really do about that. Same for 10.0+ i can just fly to max distance and fight but the majority aren’t they immediately just start looking for targets as soon as they spawn in. Its the ones with a will to survive that are scary. Literal sky rats
I will say this. SPAA being at the disadvantage is not my issue. In fact SPAA SHOULD have the disadvantage as the cost for a CAS plane is almost 5-8x that of an SPAA on average.
But SPAA shouldn’t be helpless. THATS THE ISSUE

i think they should increase reward for aircraft shootdown, implement a reward for shooting down enemy munitions, add more platforms capable of doing that, and now SPAA have something to use all that ammo box stuff for and get more rewards, but wont be a hard counter to CAS so theres still a place for it.

Id like for gaijin to realistically give all nations rn a 6.x spaa, imo germany and russia are the only ones not needing of spaa in the bracket. And since almost all nations have a 6.x lineup i feel it would be a nice start if gaijin started adding just more spaa in general.
Side note a lot of people skip spaa for 2 reasons, they cant play spaa and dont want to grind it, or the minimal rewards turn players away from playing a vital role in the game mode.

well, I guess I’ll have to dedicate myself to aerial trees from now
a totally change of playstyle due I’m a main ground player haha
I mean I wouldn’t mind getting a low tier wheeled vehicle, it’s definitely not that bad imo)
Something weird like AB 611 or just another autocannone would be cool.
there’s a 3rd reason my friend. A jet is truly just more effective.

Imo theres a lot of SPAA that gaijin adds that just dont work as spaa, and perform better as TD’s (ahem sweden from 1.7-11.7) literally if we had actual vehicles that focused on spaa more than TD it would be a much appreciated addition imo to all nations.

I wasn’t talking jet tier, more so newer players but yes that is true
though there should never be a GRB where SPAA is better than aircraft since it just costs too much to spawn a plane vs SPAA for SPAA to be better
True, maps are also a huge factor, play some tall spaa and die from a cross map shot, ahem like 3 maps come to mind. Honestly if maps had a bit more thought put into them to give spaa a bit more cover at the start it may also help. I know my friend doesn’t even use his radar on his Ito since hes tool tall and has been killed at the start, though now he just uses a mirage to deal with sky rats.
Speaking of spaa/TD’s its the same reason britain cant get a 7.x spaa, they keep using them as TD’s or which is why stuff like the falcon keep going up. Its a psuedo IFV.
Yep, they would never ever do that.
i think they forgot tanks dont have flares, but remembered they can’t notch
I just wish my Sea Harrier FA2 cost 70 sp
And i wish for a Boat x tanks gamemode but alas only in customs.
Serious note that defense game mode they tested was very fun on port novo, id love to see more stuff like that. Though i am guilty of abusing the 5.7 max tanks and playing my KV-220 with my ersatz friends and just clubbing.
I need more gamemodes, maybe stuff like missions could be fun, i still go back and play the mission in warthunder on since its pretty fun sometimes.
Hoods APC rounds wont pen Soviet ERA or a Leopard 2A7 :P
But yeah. We need more game types
HE shell it is then
Only if Hood had HE :D
Why do you think I want KGV so much :D
Idk im a coastal player, blue water scares me like encountering a PG0-2 or SKR-7
Dont worry Encountering an SKR-7 scares me in a Heavy Cruiser (granted HMS London who has less armour than some light cruisers but still)
