XD F-84B-26 works better than F-84F. Imo F-84F should be moved to 7.7 and buffed. Regardless, this doesn’t address the issue of Gepard and ZSU being OP. Giving non-radar SPAAs aim assist only makes SPAA even more braindead to play, and worsens the problem.
M247 is at a BR where it faces basically no CAS, and the little it does face has guided weapons. It’s actual SPAA capabilities are pretty on-par with Gepard and ZSU, the only difference is it has quite literally 0 anti-tank capabilities.
Lead indicator, aim assist, what’s the difference? both a crutch for bad players.
Got that reversed. The issue is noob SPAA players who sit exactly where they spawned whole game, shoot at enemies outside they’re range, miss every shot, then complain that CAS is OP.
The M247 is 9.0, AKA right below the 9.3 bracket in the OP. It fights plenty of vehicles with and without guided weaponry.
It’s SPAA capability are far beyond the Gepard and Shilka (and arguably beyond early missile based SPAAs too) due to tracerless proxy rounds. It’s able to easily and consisently engage even manuevering aircraft, something that’s entirely beyond the Gepard (and analogues), let alone the Shilka.
The only part you got right is the lack of AT weaponry.
M247 on par with gepard? Lmao, m247 is a freaking no flight zone enforce by 40mm, its such a strong aa. And tbh theres alot of cas in my matches with it
2 kills at most and if you’re lucky. If the SPAA player isn’t braindead, and actually moves or stays behind cover until a plane is within range, then Walleyes are useless.
The only reason Walleyes get kills is bc most SPAA mains suck.
Where’s this “plenty of vehicles”? I’m seeing 2-3 enemy planes a game at 9.0.
All this means is it’s effective range is a lil further, not to mention its anti-tank capability is non-existent which is a massive downside.
Rank 1-4 planes have FnF missiles and CCIP? why’d no1 tell me?
Unfortunately there is no other ways to play it, either you let them know you exist to bait them into flying into your weapon effective range, or you sit still for the entire match with no action, or drive around and becoming a free meal for enemy mbts to become a cannon fodder and drain your team’s ticket lol but its stupid either way if the CAS is out of your weapon range, you just cannot do anything useful.
Bullshit, a4e is perfectly capable of dodging manpads and jinking guns, walleyes work very well against moving targets and they go unnoticed 90% of times, 100% if we exclude spaas
