Same game, same battle, same map, same moment, but not the same visibility

So, the map has terrible weather, BUT where I have to fly above the clouds to survive and avoid hitting a tree, on the ground, you can see planes through clouds SIX KILOMETERS HIGH (19,685 ft for those of you who don’t understand anything).
Seriously, what the hell is this nonsense?



And obviously, I escaped his radar, but given how poorly designed this game is, he was able to manually guide his missile and hit me.

Realism is “poor game design”?
Okay…
The solution is to not fly out in clouds where radars can easily punch through clouds and lock larger radar signatures [planes].

Pretty sure clouds are not equal for everyone.

“Above the clouds” means that I WAS above the clouds (not IN them) and I made sure to get above his radar, into his BLIND SPOT. It’s also a strategy (that I use all the time).

But since this game has variable visibility depending on who’s where, I can’t see anything on the ground, but the guy in AA sees me (with his eyes, NOT ON RADAR), 6 km higher, ABOVE THE CLOUDS, and he MANUALLY shot me down because he could see me THROUGH 6 KM OF CLOUD, even though I was in his radar’s blind spot. Is that clearer?

I totally agree with this. Some monkeys think this is realism™ or balance™, but making everyone uncomfortable is not a balance.

P.S. All you guys who think CAS is still unbalanced after all the efforts to force planes stuck under 1km, addition of most insane missiles, guided my most broken ass tws multi track do-it-for-you radar, unreasonable sp cost (6+ times the cost than spaas), really need to seek doctors.

But first and foremost: I HATE GAIJIN.

CAS vehicles are still incredibly advantageous against any ground vehicle. I hate CAS, which is why I either play interception or, if my team is really bad, I play CAS to avoid trouble. I never do what a lot of jerks do and leave my vehicle JUST to jump into a plane with A2G.

(And proof that CAS is still incredibly unbalanced: YouTubers like Orbix or Hunter (no hate, I watch them) are proof of the complete imbalance in battles that call themselves “realistic GROUND battles.”)

CAS can avoid new SPAAs pretty easily

Yes, it should be advantageous than a ground vehicle. Without any redeeming features, why bother to grind another entirely new tech tree and spend a ridiculous amount of spawn points compared to spaaas?

wt clouds have always been half server rendered half client rendered. ppl don’t see the same clouds./

That’s why, and a long, very long list of other things, I’d like these idiot gaijin to stop making updates with copy-pasted content or new vehicles without any intention of adding new tech, armor, or anything else, and instead focus on finishing fixing their f*cking bugs, cockpit, economy, balancing, realism, performance, new PERMANENT game modes, and hundreds more.
