What is tank 4km away from the plane locked in fight with another tank supposed to do against AGM launched without his knowledge?

This is why I say losing energy is death, at lower brs you can can also turn this around and run people persuing you over your own spaa, its not 4 miles until missile spaa outside of maybe m247, or other pf slingers/stealth belt and probably more like 4-5km at best. You should really avoid being off the deck that close for extended periods, being low and fast keeps you hard to spot for cap since there is no nametags in grb and only ground targets are subject to scouting, at higher brs you have rwr and should not be doing anything but fighting other planes if they are up, and you can check airspawn like a schizo every so often as well to keep tabs. Being low keeps you relatively safe from radar missiles too.
If you are slinging guided stuff stay on your side of the map, cap is going to have to slip past your spaa, not ping your rwr, and not be noticed by you coming from airspawn to surprise you.
Im sure theres situations where your plane is in an awful matchup combined with unlucky/bad situational awareness gets you killed but theres a lot you can do avoid it
He already said don’t be in the open xd
of course, how silly of me. Simply not drive over terrain with tank, such easy counterplay against threat you cant know its there!

You have a problem with dying to something You can’t do anything about? Skill issue

This is why I first spawn my Gazelle with Mistral and go park behind their airplane spawn.
What if SPAA up bum ?
Just shoot them down with your mg dummy )))) god put dshka and browning on your tank for a reason.
Doing lords work.
Gotta dust off those quickscoping skills from the MW2 on xbox360 glory days.
I once had a typhoon fire 18 brimstones at me and i shoot them all down with my dshka, and poped smoke to intercept them between reloads.
Coward came in for a gun kill and I blasted him from 3km away with the main gun and he left the match from shame.
People that say tanks are helpless just have a massive skill issue problem.

Just act like it’s always there. This couldn’t be more obvious.
Are you doing one on one duels out in open fields or smthn? I am always by cover unless I’m advancing because leaving cover doesn’t only expose you to enemy CAS, but also to enemy tanks.
That’s only an option if your team has SPAA but enemy team doesn’t, and you can’t know if enemy team does until you’re within launch range.
Actually, I was playing A-7D the other day and was missile jousting Ocelots and Gepard 1A2s. I killed like two or three by flying to 4 mi distance, launching my AGM-65A, then start checking for enemy missile trails and turning around. I evaded prolly half a dozen stingers, but every I time I’d lose tons of speed, and cuz A-7D’s engine is doo doo, it takes alot of time to regain enough energy and altitude for another run.
Every single SPAA death was their own fault. 4 mi is far too far for AGM-65A to lock onto tanks, so if they simply moved once they saw my missile’s massive white puff trail, they wouldn’t have died. It was Aral Sea too, so they weren’t limited by space.
They kept respawning. Every SPAA killed was replaced by two more, and there were already atleast 3 to begin with. It may sound like the SPAA failed at their job, but they stopped me from killing any proper tanks outside of spawn campers cuz I was unable to get close enough to lock any proper tanks.
Honestly, if I learned anything from that encounter, CAS takes significantly more skill and effort to use than SPAA, whilst not being any more rewarding, but it’s also far more fun than SPAA.
Imagine thinking CAS needs to be any easier. Go fly planes in Air Realistic.
Meaningless video.
-
You are in a highly maneuverable fighter. This isn’t CAS; 12.7mms do nothing against most tanks.
-
You have no secondary armament equipped and therefore great energy retention. Again, this is a special case, not even representative of CAS as a whole.
-
The Ozelot either just spawned or completely ignored you, letting you get in a favourable position.
-
The Ozelot is right in the middle of the spawn and advertising his position to you. The advantage of this SPAA is hiding and ambushing planes; this is obviously an unskilled player which failed to do this.
-
You happened to face the single SPAA without guns in your BR range. Any other SPAA would have easily blasted you out of the air before you even landed a hit.
In summary, the only reason someone might think this video might prove anything, is if they were controlled entirely by their personal biased and lacked critical thought. Multiple missile launches dodged might make your point seem correct. But only to ignorant players without understanding of anti-air work.

For your average matches, half the things on the battlefield can’t survive plane mg, you never played light tanks or ATGM carriers and then dies to CAP repeatedly? there are a lot of very maneuverable fighters with bigger mg like 20 or 30mm, even roof of the so-called Stalinium tanks doesn’t have enough armor to stop them AP bullets. I don’t even know what this response is all about lol
What am I going to see next time, biplane popping up on pantsir? bt5 killing leopard?
I heard CAP
Is there even a single CAP spawning at the BR?
And no, I barely die to any planes at the br. Not when on the ground, nor when in the air myself.
Anyways
CAP Lives Matters
Because you often died to enemy tanks, duh lol
Tank RB played in the Tank way Hurry =D
