I remind you without AP ammo is difficult to shoot CAS down because some CAS are light armored against standard ammo used by spaa.
I’ve changed my mind.
Like what
People are complaining so much.
In the meantime the gepard 1a2 is nerfed so much its missing its main ammunition
Full belt FAPS. Whose whole upgrade purpose specificsly was to use that ammo
Examples of Armored Aircraft in War Thunder: the Soviet IL-2 Sturmovik and German Me 410 Hornisse, which feature armor plating around the engine, fuel tanks, and pilot to absorb damage and extend survivability. While armor adds weight and can affect performance, these aircraft use it to become “flying tanks,” capable of absorbing considerable punishment from ground and aerial threats.
Gepard isn’t that bad, at least it dies when you shoot it. XM246 on the other hand…goddamn they are annoying.
I have never once seen a Gepard or any other spaa leading the charge into battle irl…why is that?

Funny argument, when the gepard specialy has a dedicated compartment to store APDS to use against armored targets quickly without changing main belts.
You dont see IFVs realy charging either.
Thats the job of the mbts. Doesnr mean gepards or ifvs cant kull armored targets
246 took two of my 105mm post-war HEAT rounds straight to the UFP and ‘mantlet’ and lost only its vertical cannon drive and a fuel tank.
Alot of light tanks and SPAA have really messed up damage models at that BR. Gepard and its many clones are always a complete dice roll whether or not a sabot to the turret will kill.
