Are you really equating BT5 killing top tier tank under very specific conditions to for example, 8.7 CAS plane facing 8.7 SPAA?
Again what in gods earth is this argument?
If vehicle hides of course its harder to detect, thats no different for ground units or air.
If tank hides behind house, turn offs his engine and ambushes someone this way, do you think its like unfair or what?
You think it would be fair to see a target thats purposely hiding from you or what???
Lot of 10.3 CAS planes (since you mention Strela which is 10.3 AA) have standoff ordnance that can be launched outside of Strelas lock-on range AND usually some way to spot ground targets. A-7, A-10s with Mavericks immidiately come to mind, with either B having optical zoom or G having IR (albeit bad one). Hell, the A-7E gets targeting pod.
Strela isnt getting anywhere close to launching at those planes and if it does the CAS plane has all the time in the world to defend by either dodging the missile, hitting the deck, flaring it or all of the above for good measure.
A good CAS player can take out more tanks more easily, not mentioning providing air recon.
I still have zero clue what do you mean by saying that “F8F is the only thing with capability”. Capability for what? Grilling a mean steak?
And would still get walked over in A-4B with Bullups.
The horror of not being able to bomb the enemy without any resistance.
Maybe in learning at least basic english.
