I hate planes in ground realistic battles. Almost every game 2-5 minutes in the whole sky is nothing but planes. When it’s the enemy with planes, teammates with SPAA just ignore them and go for tanks, while the planes free roam bombing to their hearts content, when there’s friendly planes they don’t seem to do anything and just fly around and occasionally shoot and crash instantly. I don’t understand how, how am I supposed to outplay them? Just today had a really good streak of games, almost got the nuke 3 times but… planes. If I don’t have a .50 cal, is there anything to do against them? Even while using the .50 cal i get nothing but crits. I understand I’m not that good of a player and could aim better with it, but seriously what am I supposed to do if a player just decides to revenge bomb 2 minutes in the match while getting maybe a kill and assist/ scouts a couple tanks? I regret spending money on this game, I was dumb and didn’t fully grasp the flaws of this game. Also been reading on here and seems like Gaijin does not care at all. So yeah, I don’t know if I will keep playing this game in the future.
Just had to get this off my chest.
Not ground battle, it’s CAS rb
Don’t even get me started on the jets. I bought a Leo 2 Pzbtl. Half of the time can’t play it against the CHAD CAS who shoot missles 15km away.
In an ideal world there is a lot more modes:
- AAB(air arcade)
- ARB(air realistic)
- functional ASB(air sim)
- GAB(ground arcade as is)
- GRB(tanks only, SPAA get to roam around and fucking eviscerate tanks, when it ultimately fails gaijin removes it, says “I told u so” and the TO ppl stfu)
- Functional GSB(ground sim, as is)
- IAB(infantry arcade as it is on gaijins agenda idc)
- IRB(infantry realistic)
- CAB(combined arcade battles - spawn in infantry, do well in said infantry, spawn temporary tank/plane/helicopter with the hotbar thing)
- CRB(combined realistic: same thing as CAB but u choose ur tanks/CAS)
tell me what u guys think of it
Play around 9.0-10.7
There is hardly any cas around there.
While most of the time smoke or cover allows you to dodge the missile, high-BR matches require a bit more situational awareness: helicopter or not? Plane or not? If so, what’s the situation?
And for low BR, it’s a bit of a free-for-all, that’s for sure. Not everyone likes it, and this game isn’t for everyone.
CAS is present at every BR it’s just that SPAA at those BR start getting better as they use missiles and have way more range than gun SPAA and as such have an easier time shooting down planes. My Roland 1 at 9.7 can usually get me plane kills at about 7-8km so they rarely have time to do much damage to ground targets.
Just olay sim, i dont think somebody can hit you with a bimb presisley( only in a br range of 1.0 to 9.7)
- Forced lineups make progression impossible.
- Copy paste makes iff impossible (italian shermans)
- Decent pilots can still drop pretty precise bombs. Rarer yes but it can be done. Even as a fighter main i can pull off some precision drops eith f6f and p-51D
Well, my bad. If gajin really did some thinking to sim, maybe these problems woudnt egsits.
Got my hands on kurnass recently and situation at that brs is quite opposite. Few aa but almost 0 planes. So even if I spawn with a2a loadout I just fly around without any point and rarely find one plane or strike uav. Wouldnt mind some bots from ec like spy planes to make it not so boring
Cas is hardly present around that area.
I get so many matches were the whole match has 0-2 enemy aircraft total.
Probably the br area with the least amount of cas.
Yes it’s as I said mostly because SPAA at that BR can actually effectively counter planes many people don’t even bother spawning them in.
I’ve been playing on BR 6.7 lately, and there are matches where the CAS is downright obscene. You can start a match and within three minutes, up to five planes appear, which then proceed to kill all the ground targets, and simply deploying a SPAA isn’t enough to stop such a CAS saturation.
If there are 5 planes within 3 minutes, you must have had some stupid deaths on your team? Or maybe a quick capture with an assist, but in any case, you must have given them points quickly for there to be 5 planes after 3 minutes.
Sometimes allies dying stupidly doesn’t improve the situation.
Even if half the team dies, it’s still a fact that taking out a plane costs too few points and greatly affects the game, which is why in certain Battle Royale games it has reached a point where it seems like a race against time to see who can take out the most planes in the game.
How ? It barely happens to me. 95% of the time I’m getting killed by tanks
just use the damn spaa’s lineup you have… low br cas is easy kill med br cas same thing and even top tier has some good SPAA ;)
In this hardly ideal mode you would wait 20 minutes to match in anything but the like 2 modes.
If you are smart with your positioning and have AA (and preferably although not mandatory) a fighter, CAS below 10.0 is a non issue.
It’s fairly easy to counter and more often than not has very little kill potential for what it costs to spawn.
Top tier territory is a whole different story, but if you have problems with any CAS besides Yak-9K at lower BRs that’s just skill issue.
