“tank meta is the same in tournaments except for the all the things that prevent it from being the same and make it different which is everything” -you
CAS will always be firing a shotgun in a fishbowl, the game maps are totally unbalanced for CAS especially long range F&F
tank meta in tournaments is the same in grb for the same reasons. (reload, firepower, mobility over “muh big armour”)
The spotting system only means that bad optics aren’t an issue and that people can’t camp in a hole the entire match
Tell me, put good players (of equal skill) against each other with two different vehicles, would the players using the better vehicle win more often than not?
would that not result in people then using the better vehicle more often to equalize the playing field?
True, maps absolutely need a change but since BVVD confirmed that’s not planned, there’s nothing we can do about it unless every player riots. (not happening)
It would just come down to whichever one plays better unless you’re giving one person a massively better tank. But once again whats meta in ground rb tournaments isnt meta in actually ground rb. Because the meta right now in ground rb is to spawn a bmpt hold w then get in a cas aircraft of your choosing and wipe the enemy team in under seven minutes. In fact arguably the Bmpt is the best vehicle in the game right now.
Its already enormous amount, what more do you want?
S1 is literally worse than properly implemented IRIST-SLM
You’re forgetting helis.
Mi-28NM can be spawned with like two kills?
scouting is also too strong.
properly implemented IRIS-T would be impossible to avoid.
Helicopters are entirely different problem due to their overperforming LDIRCM and nonexisting RCS.
Planes on the other hand are already demands really high sp cost to spawn.
That didn’t stop Gaijin to give Pantsir SM-SV fantasy level hypersonic missile tho.
Rules for thee but not for us looks like.
CAS mains:

Specific CAS vehicles*
Nerfing CAS entirely will make things even worse for a10c and other forgotten vehicles which are just not worth spawning currently.
helicopters are still CAS.
Pantsir can be avoided, true IIR can be avoided just as well as you can avoid a KH-38 or maverick using just flares.
True, some vehicles are definitely underpowered and should either stay as they are or get a buff.
A-10C is a good example.
Those that do need changes are the monsters of grb.
LDIRCM helis, most if not all top tier planes (it’s so compressed) and sp cost increases need to be done in lower tiers too.
nuh. Room A can be anywhere, doesn’t matter, Sweden, USA, I’ll go in there.
That is simply BS claim and shows you have no idea what you’re talking about.
If you want to do CAS you have to get into Pantsir SM-SV’s playground, its hypersonic missile has effective range of up to 35km.
Avoiding Kh-38/maverick using flares in what, tanks?
Lmao.
reasonable people are talking in here, not some person who only cares if Russia has the strongest CAS/SPAA system.
aircraft. Name a single plane that can flare either of those.
AGM IR guidance is very close to what true IIR guidance would be, specifically in terms of flarability
Just more, the less CAS in ground RB the better.
We have seen how stuff like that impacts ground RB, so that is a good thing.
Would like to see at least one example. Pretty sure it’s impossible.
sorry, that was a typo. I meant “can’t”
edit: of you mf, you quoted me in a way that made me think I said that it is possible to avoid them using flares
At this point the next vehicle should be the Israeli truck mounted SEAD carrier so we can shoot enemy SAM across the map, then add the Pereh with NLOS so you can sit at spawn and snipe everyone across the map without them shooting back and finally let’s add the same SPIKE NLOS to the helicopters so they dont even need to takeoff to start firing onto the map.
