No.
The airfield should be moved back so after spawning (heavy bombers) or taking off (other aircraft), it takes at least 3 minutes of travel to be over the battlefield. And it should take 3 minutes to RTB and rearm - which makes CAP much more powerful as you’re vulnerable for much longer without magic AAA protecting you right outside the battlefield.
And armaments should have BR scaled spawn point costs so that you cannot take a shitty M19A1, rush capture point and respawn into a plane with multiple 1000 lbs bombs after tracking some vehicle for an assist.
But planes shouldn’t be removed.

Use HE-VT or use plane to shoot plane

Combined arms is the reason to play WT over WoT.
Does CAS need some tweaks, yes, mostly via SP cost adjustments.
Should it be removed. No.
P.S its called ground mode because the objectives are on the ground.

Nope, Now, the US does have, ridiculously OP CAS in mid BR’s (6.7-7.0)
Yea, I see your a new player here.
Designed for both air + ground.

The M19 is better as a TD than just a cap rusher, might as well use reserve tanks.
They should just add a mode without planes and everything should be fine.
As the poll shows, most players want this idea to go thru.

Ground RB should always have cas. If you do enough to get into a planer you can be an equalizer for the entire match, we’re not playing WOT

I agree with this idea a lot. Lower vehicles get greatly reduced rewards, they should also generate greatly reduced spawn points too. So, go ahead and bring ur M22 into the top tier match, and only be able to spawn that one vehicle in and nothing else. That would be totally fair.

CAS needs some balancing but no, it should not be removed. AA vehicles would have no purpose other than try and kill tanks. Imo there should be a limit on how many planes can be up at a time. And the sp cost should be increased except for vehicles like fighters with pure air to air armaments.

The purpose of CAS in Ground RB is to be able to engage enemies in well concealed positions who otherwise would require 3+ tanks to engage effectively.
The issue with CAS in Ground RB is its efficacy goes much beyond this simple purpose allowing a single plane to dictate an entire match.
SPAA needs to still be brought up to match CAS’s efficacy. There are whole BR Ranges without access to effective SPAA.

Well I’m against it, as it’s the only thing that makes this game unique.
Now I don’t play the highest tiers so I can’t comment on the effect of CAS there, but 8.3 and down, I just don’t find CAS a real problem. I’m also probably one of the few who are willing to assist my team by rolling out a SPAA vehicle in the beginning of a game to suppress CAS.
I’ve also come to understand the mindset of players in ground RB, where if I destroy someone who just capped a zone, I can probably guess they are going to fly straight back and try and destroy me from the air if they have the points. It’s so predictable it’s funny.
The game is biased towards air players so this will never happen.
This is the same reason ground players can’t spawn Anti aircraft systems in air games. If we could we’d use missiles and shoot down all their precious jets and they would cry.
SPAA in air battles would be incredibly useless. The map is way too big for ground vehicles to contest.
Even at prop tier, maps are large enough to take at least 3-4 minutes flying at ~300 km/h to make it to the halfway point. What use is an SPAA going to be if at best it can offend in a single square people can just avoid.
CAS has issues in ground RB, but please at least make sensible arguments.

Against adding a new mode?
speaking of, was it ever called mixed battles?? I could have sworn it was called this once.
Then why people paying $70 on planes? You wanna kill the gaijin.
