Spawn in an SPAA for a few matches, and found the lowww amount of planes here. Spawned a CAP, no one’s up. A4E throws walleyes and die to stinger energy drain, not many f58s who knows why, and not much of other planes, which basically all dies to proxy york and stinger rains, or wandering alone over air spawn

20 Strike dedicated aircrafts from 9.3 and 9.7, and we shall count in the 11 others from 8.7 and 9.0 which completes every nations and those still have abilities to strike hard.
Of these, only really A-4E fits. AV-8 can definitely do CAS but you’re limited to doing CCIP/CCRP bomb drops or Zuni CCIP runs, both of which get you way too close to the battle. This kind of CAS was stronger earlier in the BRs when it first appeared.
Same problem as above
Same problem as above, none of these are really “CAS aircraft” but more just air RB bombers. CAS already graduated to using guided weapons at 8.7 and these aircraft are using outdated methods.
Pretty sure this has same issue
Same issue
This one does fine in GRB so idk why its listed
Pretty sure same issue
Pretty sure same issue
Same issue, though this one is at 9.0 so avoids most issues described in this thread with spaa in downtiers or 9.3 games
Same issue
Everything you listed are more “Air RB bombers” rather than CAS planes in GRB
For the Germans it’s just the Ozelot and Gepard 1A2. You basically run the risk of fighting 2A4’s, T-80B’s and M1’s just for better SPAA.
A few other nations get one or two vehicles. China doesn’t have any iirc. It’s a weird BR, but the lack of vehicles is most likely why 10.7 is 99% uptiers these days.
