So now the Improved Chaparral has been nerfed so that sometimes not even salvoes of missiles will bring down a helicopter, and that’s if they hit at all, the whole while streams of laser-guided ATGMs are taking out players, along with all the SPAA. As if CAS wasn’t already disruptive enough for a game that’s supposed to be about ground vehicles. I have played the Improved Chaparral enough times to know that something significant has changed. It’s not just that it’s changed, but it’s silently changed, you won’t see it in the hundreds of announced game updates and changes, but there it is. The CAS has become a monstrosity. It took me longer than most to reach a level of frustration, but it gets tiresome getting nailed by CAS nearly every match, and sometimes two or three times in one match. Some of the other screwy things I get the motivation behind it (), like ERA only for a specific country, fantasy BMPTs, or nerfing Spike missiles, again (), but where is the financial opportunity in overpowered CAS. It’s disappointing, a game with so much capacity but so self-destructive in execution.
Speak as you want but provide numbers. I’ve just checked datamines from 6th of September, 2023 and 17th of June, 2026 with “chaparral” in the search terms no noticeable changes to the vehicle’s weapons was made except in 2023:
