SPAA at 9.3-10.3 is hilariously OP and i see no one talking about it

You’re jealous

Considering you got caught lying about the ASU-57?

Manpads lock range is reduced on cold maps, probably because gaijin associates cold map with “bad weather”

I noticed the lock bug on every type of maps, but yes it appears more on cold ones

I would be fine with removing any app from these AA and moving them down

  1. I’m talking about energy performance
  2. 12 flare su22m3 is the only su17/22 with good engine, for um3k you trade the engine for the flare, for m4 it’s at 11.0, for 17m2 it has none
  3. su22 does not pull and roll good enough for dodging simple memory, while fov gate makes the reaction time available shorter

Do have to wait for 2v1 and hope ,

That even if you sacrificed a teammate, he may still have the chance to trade?

Reminds me of one of my OSA kill here


He stayed out of my radar detection when I was driving, but as he popped up, he died. It may look as if he was high but that should be range effects. He had pushed to close enough for a strafe after all

I love how this thread is still going, CAS mains throwing a tantrum because SPAA is actually threaten at a certain BR and they can’t just wreck everyone and everything with impunity.

The claim that SPAA is rewarding is a ridiculous one too. SPAA tends to be vastly LESS rewarding than playing a tank and simply holding W, or playing any type of plane.

  • Opportunity cost. SPAAs aren’t usually pushing caps, or engaging in ground battles outside of a small number of vehicles. Leading to vastly lower scores and rewards.

  • Planes give the same reward as a tank destruction. While the effort tends to be vastly higher.

SPAA is if anything vastly less rewarding!

Very roundabout way of saying SPAA is overpowered. Also implying CAS is OP at all other BRs, which is extremely stupid.

Ah yes, waiting in spawn and clicking a single button to launch missiles is certainly “effort”.

Man the amount of times ive seen friendly spaas take the worst shots known to man ruining my chances of killing cas is insane. Like they have no patience to wait for a decent solution. They just fire as soon as they can.

Yeah it is at most brs

The helicopters in this BR range are often an effective counter to the AA.

It’s no secret IR SAM’s struggle greatly to lock them (often limited to 2-3km range), whereas the helicopters here tend to have 4-6km ATGM’s.

If you’re finding your fixed wings are difficult, just use rotary instead.

10.7-13.0 is not ‘most BRs’

Ya im spading some now.

20% of planes I engage just crash after trying to dodge and I get nothing
I’ll spawn SPAA then 3 other players on my team do and now im just cucked, especially if its something with longer range.
Half of the games I spawn in the only planes I have to fight for ~5 minutes are the occasional drones which ya… GL killing one past 1km. Or helicopters I can’t even engage at all which is REALLY fun.

And then you have people saying it doesn’t matter if an SPAA is good at the ground game and killing ground vics… well when a good chunk of your matches are like this you are getting absolutely nothing being a dedicated SPAA if you cant go fight too. It sucks major ass.

I mean before i spawn SPAA i look at the minimap and check how many players already spawned one.
If just a bunch of players died to cas at the same time, i wait until they spawned again, so we don’t have 3 SPAA up at suddenly.

If i spawn SPAA first thing i do is move out of our spawn.
If there ate no planes ip anymore, i move up with the team and cap or get kill assists/scouts.

If people would just think a little bit, there is enough to do before you ultimately die and spawn a tank again.

SPAA at 9.3-10.3 is OP

Meanwhile SPAA at 9.3 :


That’s a dual engine Meteor F by the way. Yep, 6km lock all aspect, or so that’s what they say

Flares ? No need when you get rockets, can even kill your target at the same time


Before you ask : yes i gave some lead

10.3/10.7 is the only br in which the scale is tipped in the spaas favour. not an issue

Id personally disagree slightly.

Id say 9.0-10.0 (where nations have an SPAA) is where SPAA hold a notable advantage with limited guided weapons for the CAS and a lot of IR MANPADs vs things without flares.

10.3-11.0 Id say is pretty evenly matched.

11.3-12.0 really depends on what nations are fighting what nations but something like a Tornado IDS vs Pantsir is never going to end well for the CAS.

12.3+ is where CAS truly begins to take the dominance, but to be honest. Just like using a 5.3 SPAA sucks vs 7.0 aircraft. Using a 11.7/12.0 SPAA is of course going to suck against 13.0-14.0 aircraft

10.7+ is the only BR where the scale is in CAS’s favor. At every BR, SPAA has an advantage.

That is why You are not so good in it right?
