ngl i think that would only make russian SPAA more obnoxiously OP compared to everyone else’s stuff across the entire game as the BTRs and m53s are all insane already
Its “Ground” battles, not “Tank” battles. Ground Battles include aircraft and helis. Deal with it.

Just try to queue GRB without a tank in your lineup and tell me how it goes.
It’s obvious who’s that mode is.
I’m fine with this game having a combined arms mode if there’s an escape from that for all parties.

Ground battles take place on teh ground. As long as you stick to the airfield your argument is valid. by your definition people should be allowed to spawn tanks and SPAA in air battles since they are not called plane battles.

new discovery, you need a ground vehicle to play ground battles. Arcade also supplies you with Aircraft and Helis, so I mean clearly they have a place.
that sounds cool asf. i’d be down for SPAA in ARB or ASB

“Ground” indicates the location of the objectives, 95% of matches are won or lost based upon cap points being held and not necessarily from kills like they are in Air. Yes a well played CAS can change the tide of a battle, but if everyone is in air, then I usually find the side with air loses more than they win. I did once “win” a GSB match before by playing the Typhoon and basically carried my team to victory. Though the enemy team only spawned a single SU-34 mid-game to challenge me, so it was basically shooting fish in a barrel and we only won because half the enemy team rage quit.
And quite frankly. (at least for those that play Air Sim) we do have SPAAGs, they are the bane of anyone trying to play a mud mover and have been for the last 2 years. They are obscenely OP with how they model them. Player controlled SPAAG/SAMs would probably be less of a threat in ASB than they AI controlled ones are.

Truly combined aspect would ask you to equip all different types of vehicles to, you know, preserve the combined nature of the mode.
The fact you can have a full game of GRB without any Air spawning tells me the combined aspect was just an afterthought.
Then why Air had objectives on the ground as well lol ?
Try holding the majority of caps without killing your enemies. It’s obvious kills are the most important thing in GRB.
99.99% of ARB matches are won or lost by players in the air killing other players in the air. Rarely are matches actually decided by ground targets.
But there are ground targets because many aircraft are designed to bomb things.
Unless you expect a Lancaster to be dogfighting?
Except its not. You can have someone with 50 kills in CAS on one team and other barely a kill, but if the side with barely any kills holds all the objectives, then they will win.
Most GRB matches are won or lost by holding the points or people quitting (allowing points to be captured more easily). More often than not. CAS heavy teams lose , they dont win.
Also, I find complaining about CAS really funny, because most of the time when I play say 10.3/10.7 that this thread is mostly talking about. I barely ever see any CAS. Most matches are tank vs tank.
That directly goes against your logic that the mode is called Ground because objectives are on the ground.
A team can’t hold anything if all of them are dead, which is the whole point.
Your team holding all the objectives while being spawn camped makes absolutely no sense.
It’s easy to quit when your team gets overrun in the opening engagement and you’re now getting picked off from advantageous positions. Kills allow you to get close to a cap, so if your team is worse at doing kills they’re at the back foot right from the start.
CAS in GRB is just a byproduct of ARB being a terribad mode all around.
Fr. Where tf the naval vessel at in my ground battles? Normandy, Abandoned Factory, Vietnam, Sweden, and many more maps could be spiced up if you could spawn naval vessels.
