Yes, I would pay money to have that mode even if they decided to make it a premium feature, I just grew tired of getting bombed every game.

Because the pure tanker community in WT is probably as big as the naval community. Pilots simply keep GRB alive. That’s the hard truth.
Majority of players go play GRB because it’s the only meaningful place to play planes with the instructor. ARB is quite a bad mode for some time now. Especially after removing proxy rewards and increasing teams to 16v16.
If you want to fix the aircraft spam in GRB, you have to ask Gaijin to give pilots ARBEC. I tried, they don’t listen to me. Maybe they will listen to you.

Part of this is due to CAS spam.
Playing american teams is painful in the 4.0-6.0 BR ranges as basically your entire team straps themselves full of bombs, takes off, flies straight at less than 1 km altitude, proceeds to ground pound and get smacked out of the sky.
Now you’re alone at altitude and spend most of the match trying to avoid 1vs many situations.
Why does this happen? Because people don’t want to try and actually fight for RP/SL and just play props for grinding.
The other part of it is likely jets (people wanting to speedrun props by groundpounding).
yea but they have mostly 3 1000 pound bombs so max per run one plane cann kill 3 people prob more and the tanks on the ground have 50 cals wich kills the enemy fighters
You just have to play one match to notice the disparity between plane / tank spawns. People stay on the ground only because they don’t have enough SP to spawn one. If planes were as cheap as tanks, I guarantee you that nobody would play tanks.
A CAS plane can RTB in like 45 seconds after dropping those 3 bombs, rearm in 15 seconds with maxed repair (not hard to get) and return in probably a minute after.
The runways need to be placed at like 30 km from the battlefield, not 5.
thats for american cas mostly bc they are the ones whit 3 1000 pound bombs at lower brs
No, people stay on the ground because if they wanted to fly planes - they’d play air RB or air sim.

They don’t want to play 16v16 five minute flustercluck filled with enemy markers and get third partied every game. This is the sole reason behind CAS spam in GRB. Because players are fed up and migrated to GRB where they can have mostly uninterrupted 1v1 without markers.
The rest doesn’t play SIM because of the steep learning curve.
I will unironically bet you 25k GE pack if you convince Gaijin to lower plane SP costs to tank levels in GRB to just 1 day. If +80% first spawns are planes, I win. And I guarantee you that would 100% happen, if not more.
ARB is there literally to only spade your plane fast so you can have fun with it in GRB.
The only real reason they don’t want to reintroduce ARBEC is, that it would straight up kill ARB overnight and pull majority of players away from GRB.
GRB flying is even worse than ARB.
You have 2 airfields within 10 km of each other. You have planes popping into reality within 5 km of each other. Even with markerless sim spotting, you can recognize and with a communicative team - even ID/IFF planes from ~15-26 km away (I can see bombers at D4 on straits of dover from taking off the A2 airfield, and that’s about under 30 kilometers with 12 km width for sectors).
You barely have any room to stretch your legs before you end up either over your airfield that interferes with your opponent, or over the enemy airfield where your plane suddenly turns yellow or even black.
It takes the issue of ARB of “maps are too small even for a 4.0 prop (in terms of airfield placement, there’s room to maneuver at least)” and takes it to its logical absurdity.
So what You have said is only based on Your personal feelings, great
And there’s no such arcade nonsense there that marks the enemy and makes him easy to see!

If a new mode is to be added it should be a truly combined arms mode where you can not only spawn tanks and planes but also ships for shore bombardment/counter shore bombardment.
Instead of Artillery you ping places for your seafaring teammates to bombard.
