and here I thought Tankie meant something different
And they are not even bad!
Neither can I.
Unfortunately I missed that event, but from what I saw it looked fun and it seemed to be popular.

Why drive when you can fly?
A fighter costs less than half of CAS… just shoot them down.
I literally can’t, because I’m in a tank, and you can’t spawn a fighter at the start of a match. Unless I already died, which means CAS succeeded already in accomplishing their goal (bombing me). So I failed to stop them even if I shoot them down somewhat later on in revenge. Revenge =/= neutralization. Revenge =/= counterplay. Revenge does not COUNTER the PLAY. The play was already successful and went un-countered.
Unless maybe you’re talking about arcade, then sure, you can take out a fighter plane as a minigame and go back to your tank. Are you talking about arcade? Because you’re in the wrong forum if so. Yet that’s the only way your comment would make sense.

How so? I don’t focus on that when i play
To put it another way, the whole point of CAS is kills, since they can’t cap points anyway. If CAS killed me, then even if I INSTANTLY spawn in and take it out, it still has a 1:1 KD which is average, not ineffective. And then I’m now in a useless fighter plane if nobody else chooses to spawn, so I have to J out if I want to help my team again, so it actually got effectively 2:1 KD. Even if I kill 3 CAS before having to J out, they each still got 1.3 KD minimum, basically.
And that’s nearly the best case scenario. More likely, it will kill 2 or 3 of us on the ground before any of us spawn in and stop it, not just the one. Even people who are half blind and only got me because of kill cam (literally magical mind reading bullshit), they can just bomb the known spawn location after that and almost always get someone else.
Removing kill cam (or postponing it until after battle) so that CAS has a much more reasonable chance of getting 0 kills if not good at spotting, instead of 1 guaranteed kill, is more important than SP costs. I don’t know what to do about their usually-guaranteed kills in spawn.

If you stay still in the same place, it is easy to spot you, but if you move you will make your discovery more difficult. In most cases, a stationary tank is a dead tank. The kill cam is essential, especially for those who shoot on the spawn, otherwise you will never spot them.
What if the spawn location was more fortified, for example underground, or in a bunker? You could exit spawn through a number of tunnels or gates.

And you cant spawn cas first. Plus you have to die to use it too.
Revenge bombing is cringe though
I agree on that
So what? We are talking about the matchup of tank vs CAS. So that already happened by the point of where the discussion begins.
What if the spawn location was more fortified, for example underground, or in a bunker? You could exit spawn through a number of tunnels or gates.
Yeah that would do it, but there’s very few maps you can reasonably adjust to be like that. If you want it to work for the game in general, I think you need a rules/mechanics change of some sort, not an actual physical map change.

I’ve said multiple times that GRB needs FOBs for ground vehicles, whereby vehicle’s get fully rearmed and repaired, just like how airports work for CAS.
The FOBs would have walls all around (like real a FOB) and could even come with AT and AA defence for AI or players to use.
Imagine, one team dominates the caps, but instead of just camping an open field to kill respawning players, you have to assault a base. Maybe players controlling defences could earn their way to a respawn through earning points as a defender even? Giving chance for a counter attack through fresh respawns.

Maps could generally give better cover to any vehicle.The playerbase screamed for all cover to be removed so CAS must sit in the open screaming its position to air snd land enemies alike.
they should sit around 1.5k so people actually earn them, yknow cause theyre literally equivelant to a nuke
This game might not be for you then. There is another popular game that offers only tank based combat that is for you. Bye bye!
It already costs upward of 800 SP to spawn any remotely useful CAS at top tier, compared 80 SP for something like a Pantsir-1.
No, CAS is fine as it is.

Hm yes a moving tank is difficult to kill sound pretty answer. Let see a moving tank leave engine smoke behind or in desert/snow maps a trail of smoke that anybody in CAS can see it. In rank 6 the CAS have CCIP Constantly Computed Impact Point rockets and bombs assist destroying stationary or moving target without flying low in spaa range.
A moving target works against inexperience players flying CAS but it don’t work against experience players.
You necro’d a thread to say that?
Yeah I know of the ‘other’ tank game, I used to play it competitively, however that and WT play drastically different.
No one should be expected to pour thousands of hours into something completely unrelated to the primary mode at hand to remain competitive.
