I’m just about to quit WT after many years as its becoming more and more frustrating to play.
Jet bombers carpet bombing spawns. It should be a bannable offense.
Its frustrating getting blown up, respawn, travel a few meters only to have a 500kg bomb dropped on you. No warning, no time to react. SPAA’s are ineffective and when the enemy team gets on a roll everyone with a plane jumps into it and makes a beeline for the spawn area.
*AI bot SPAA in spawns, some kind of deterrent
unlimited or at least 1 minute of immunity in spawn as long as you don’t fire your guns, attacking spawns in anything is a weak tactic.
*Planes show up on the map for 10 seconds if they fly over a enemy spawn, they get a god view of the battlefield, give the tanks half a chance.
Yeah I see what you did there but the op has a point. No matter what SPAA you spawn in as it’s not going to make a difference if the bombs are already dropped. I’ve experienced this quite a few times and it is frustrating. Ideally it would be better if enemy aircraft are not allowed to spawn behind you which would seem to be a easy and quick fix for gaijin to implement. Aircraft spawning the front and flanks is fine as it provides a little more time to either attack or evade but when they are directly attacking you from behind it’s almost impossible to do either. This is especially true, as I stated earlier, if the bombs are already on the way.
Another possible mitigating solution would be to ensure every map has a minimum of 2 spawn locations. Increasing the diameter of the spawn location would also be helpful so ground vehicles aren’t so tightly grouped when spawning in. Again, this seems this could be a quick fix for gaijin to implement.
Not an anti-CAS player but allowing enemies to spawn behind the lines as well as having bombs to drop on spawn locations must generate some hate for the dreaded CAS. Gaijin has stated they are aware of the imbalance between ground and air so hopefully they’ll provide some solutions to bring back some semblance of balance.
