Imagine having a ground map that allowed both sides to spawn camp each other with same efficiency. The map would pretty much be awful and not fun to many, but regarding the spawn camping aspect it would be balanced, as weird as it might look at first.
If gameplay is crap and you can’t balance it out, at least let both sides do each other dirty.
I doubt spawn killing is going anywhere as it’s apparently not against the rules, so giving that opportunity to only one side doesn’t feel fair to me.
I don’t think that SLM is the 25km death bubble machine.
You hide, do the jukes and land.
What, vehicles don’t render past 15km ?
Don’t forget SLM basically has three operational vehicles, which makes it a huge target to omnipresent ground vehicles in small, post-stamp sized maps. It definitely has way less room to maneuver and do plays than aircraft and according to some, it still struggles to destroy munitions from time to time.
I would have ground spawn protected with a concrete lid as an air main… Tired of wasting ammo to spawn protection and sometimes get killed for that.
Making both spawn protected is good for both air and ground and Go create another thread for a lid on ground spawn
And most importantly,
Nobody gets paid here for creating conflict between both spawn protections
Good, just spawn a tank bro.

Bro forgot the SLM can hit targets as far as 40km away
It used to be 20km, but I think they upped it to 25/30km in a recent update. I could be wrong about the increase, though.
Not in game. At least not in most cases.
yes in game, it has a flight limit range of 40km
doesn’t mean it can hit a sitting duck at 40km
Many would agree with you, though what will spaa even be for if cas is gone from ground lol?
I’m neutral btw because I don’t play ground so don’t think this question is any kind of argument
Same thing strike aircraft and bombers are for in ARB. Nothing.

Doesn’t acquire=/=not rendering.
Basically munitions can’t lock on to enemy vehicles further than 15km and targeting pod refusing to lock on target, in this case having 30km render doesn’t mean anything.
Guess which SPAA creates 20km death bubble? That’s right it’s SLM.
I hope that pod doesn’t stop you from launching your missile in POINT lock mode from like 20km away which will then switch to TRACK at like 12-13km away. This doesn’t give you a lot of room for shooting/maneuvering your SLM outside of the seeker’s range, especially against 38MTs which are really fast.
Well I see what you mean but I don’t agree 100% here, bombing does help progress to the winning conditions so bombers and attackers are useful (sometimes necessary) to win a game. SPAA would have literally nothing to do without cas, except maybe hunt a few bots but that’s all
This would be the end of spaa which is kinda sad as they’re a whole aspect of ground
38MT’s are broken.
Other munitions suffers from speed and can easily interceptable.

Yeah sure. You would only need like 35 bases or 70 AI ground targets to win the game. Bombing does almost nothing to help the team win. Very rare scenarios where 3 A-10s are left to their own devices to destroy AI while the last enemy rearms could have ended earlier if the 3A-10s were 3 F-8s instead.

MTs were just a quick example of how things can go when the best AGM meets the best AA in the game.
Sounds like a skill issue; there are ways to get around the SLM. Use the terrain and countermeasures, or coordinate with teammates on the ground, and you won’t have an issue with the SLM.
In game ?
Ground battles should be mainly decided on the ground…
IRL ? Let’s just say this statement is wrong on many levels, but explaining why would go wildly off topic.
I’ve made a reddit post about this and video that show this problem but people just busy typing “just spawn tank bro” or “hahaah russian plane problem denied” kinda things so we have to just let them enjoy SLM meta until it lasts and wait for them to cry about new aa systems better than SLM.
No genius here, it’s Gaijin’s work, wait a few months or years until map changes and further spawn for planes to “fix” this current issue. I knew this would happen, before the IRIS-T were a thing was just a matter of time because it’s more than obvious, Gaijin and Mojang are fighting for which do the laziest job.
This is not an dream matter anymore, it’s actively happening. People asked for better anti-air system they got it, unfortunately you can’t please everyone. Speaking of the devil, it’s nice for once that an Soviet vehicle isn’t the center of the discussion for being ‘broken’.
Because CAS is fair apparently
