Man I’m having so much fun getting an ATGM thrown into my face by a coward in a heli 4km away that, not even AA can do anything against… That’s like having a Elden Ring boss that oneshots you all the time without any way to kill it. It’s stupid. A game mechanic you cannot do anything against is just bad game design but Gaijin know all about bad game design, isn’t it?
Give us Ground Only already… CAS sucks and is toxic AF.

My Lvrbv 701 usualy can nail any of them, same with the Asrad, they dont need a lock that warns the heli lol

Wow I’m talking about 9.3+ at 8.3 you cannot kill them except they are dumb and just stand still.
And on winter maps stuff like the Santal can’t even lock Helis correctly because Gaijin fucked that up too

To my defence you said nothing about what br, just that they are a pain.
But then i agree, to a extent. they are cancer as long as there isnt a Bkan or anything lol
Gaijin should just give us Ground Only and stop being scared that no one will play normal anymore… There are over 100k+ people online all the time…

10.3 isn’t much better, there you have Tiger helis that just hover above helipad and launch Pars3 at everything they can spot

Legit the only way I’ve dealt with them when I was at 8.0 was taking my OF-40 with the laser rangefinder and shooting at it while guessing where I’d need to aim. I’ve gotten one heli kill so far, I can’t remember what the range was though.
Do you mean Tiger HAP? That only has HOT-3 with only like 4km range.
Know your own gun can shoot at 10km,… look-up and fire upon.
yup shoot a heli at 4km away even with rangefinder is impossible if they are not hovering on the same position… stop talking shit

indeed, CAS is ruining ground battles more and more. It’s just stupid how easy you can grind kills and be score board leader. And even with SPAAs you not always can do something against it.
For example: The Gepard bullets travel around at 1100 m/s. So shooting at target 4km away will take the bullets around 3,6 seconds to get there. 3,6 seconds every CAS player has time to dodge them.
And usally after you revealed your position, because everyone can see your tracer rounds, another helicopter or plane kills you instandly.
On average I don’t survive longer than 30 seconds with SPAAs because of this.
Thats why I prefer the term “Air-Battle easy mode” instead of “Ground Battle”
RIP VEAK 40, was once great now the worst at its tier lol
It’s cool that specific AA can maybe do something against them but if I’m not in an AA it’s just bad gameplay. Especially when the guy in the plane/heli had only a cap before dying.
Erm, its the same with Aircraft, if you are in a tank. Its supposed to deal with Tanks, fortifications, Infantry etc. Not Aircraft, Thats why SPAA platforms exist and why to be universal in a game you need atleast one SPAA platform to work as a team player.
I usually bring two SPAAs, since i main sweden and Swedish SPAA at 4.0-7.0 is very much a bad experience untill the U-sh 204gk was added, that helps abit along the way. but not compedetive at 6.0 up to 8.3 where u get the Leopard 2 marksman.
It’s funny as you go higher brs 10.3 and above the stocl starting missiles for the Helis are TOW 2 which have a range of 4km…Well within the range of every IFV with proxy shells and IRST or the plethora of SAMS.
So I assume by 4km your suggesting to the Falanga AT missile?
I get that people want to play a specific vehicle, but if you dont go allround you will be pretty useless. i know its hard and annoying to have to grind SPAA if one doesent enjoy using them but its a sacrifice that has to be made,
Yeah, the LITERALLY most important part of any TT grind is having a viable SPAA and lineup before wasting your free repairs and other materials.
