Why would you play SPAA knowing they’re so useless?
Because it’s all you have to fight back a lot of the time? Man I forgot how much you don’t even play this game yet yap about it.
All tech trees have access to planes.
it gonna be 10.0 now
I always use SPAAG on all Br ranges. Will always take care of CAS whenever no one wants to. Someone has to do it.
The efficacy is irrelevant to whether you play it or not.
what are spawn costs/minor nations
Yes minor nations have access to planes.
MFW the closest fighter I have is a full 1.7 br below my ground BR! woo!
You’re a moron.
Why are you stating this like this like it’s the game’s fault you didn’t keep pace?

Most SPAA isn’t useless. They have a separate spawn pool from everything else, so it’s essentially a free spawn too. A lot of them are effective at taking out ground targets. Most of them I find are able to do a good job of taking down the air targets at their BR. The people moaning just want someone else to spawn SPAA whilst they stay in their MBT spawn camping flanking.
The only SPAA in the game capable of preventing CAS from dropping their ordinance is top tier SPAA even then it’s by very small margins.
SPAA in its current state is reactive towards CAS, not preventative.
I said you’re a moron, what I meant to say is you’re extremely stupid to the point where it hurts for me to converse with you…
This is literally the best Italy can do for air at these BRs you simple shit, and even then the next actual fighter is 8.0.
Only if people refuse to spawn SPAA first…
SPAA in real life isn’t meant to completely nullify enemy air power. There is a reason militaries with the capability invest to have total air superiority. It’s that important. In my opinion it’s too expensive to get into a fighter to counter enemy CAS. The SP cost of fighters should be reduced and the SP of their potential ground ordnance increased. Even fighters with powerful cannons for their BR normally have one belt that lacks AP capability.
Yes this is an often stated excuse which is completely separated from the reality of the game and its mechanics.
AGM-65D outranges any SPAA at 9.7
Bomber CCIP / CCRP begins at 8.3 where SPAA’s effective range is <3KM
You’re not preventing the drop of ordinance, you’re killing planes in range. Planes in range have either already dropped their ordinance or are using suboptimal CAS loadouts.
I love this video because you caught a plane doing a loop to go after another plane after it had fully circled the map correctly proving my point the only thing SPAA can do is kill planes that have already dropped ordinance.
Perfect demonstration, thank you.
What has 65Ds at 9.7?
The lowest BR I know of them being at is 10.3, and that’s without a targeting pod. You aren’t locking anything past 5km without a pod.
If you can actually spot and lock an enemy at 5km with a 65D you deserve the kill because that is impressive.
