SPAA J'ing out before you can kill them

But then not every nation gets top tier spaa, which is unbalanced and unfair. PvP games supposed to be fair in their pvp aspect.

You mean the ones that are at the B.R. range where SPAA can’t hit You at that distance?

Aren’t yall talking about all spaa? Like top tier Spaa

for russian helicopters, I still can only lock the below 2 km in the type 81, sot that part not really changed.
the photocontrast is good against planes tho, that is a nice thing (like 50% of the time, when you get a nice and flat map)

Test flight (never trusted those) and you are indeed magical Alvis what can i say

Top tier SPAA has a lot of problems in hitting targets that are above 10km range (not talking about russian one or that a plane is flying in straight line).

Photocontrast sometimes failes to work due to helicopters or planes simply being “disguised” or too hard to notice for photocontrast to begin with.
Thats probably what you’re encountering.
I had a similar case with YAH-64 in a Strela-10M, when his effective range of 8KM with Hellfires was practically untouched by me as he was 6 KM away and had a mountain as his background.

Do this in an actual game where they move behind cover and could be killed by a team mate at any point in the 5 year flight time

Ah hah I don’t mind it still count as i lost one AGM and they lost one life

Aha, russian heli sitting 6 km away, before a completly clear background (sky) and the missles still cant lock it in any mode, but the sight can. Happend just in this match I played a minute ago

Again, even weather as clouds in the sky, nuclear sun, slight fog can interfiere.
Also IRST is not photocontrast!

I tried bot IRST and photocontrast, no difference in that case. Also the sky was clear, no coulds

@MrKrabsPattys Cause I’m not loading up a custom battle that’ll prove the same exact thing in a Harrier.

You can send it to me via this or DM, the scenario. If i wont find the matter myself I can send it to game masters to help find what was wrong.
If you can, send the replay.

Yeah, C*S begins being a real problem when it gets extremely long range guided and smart munitions.

I am not the kind of player who would claim that the existence of CAS is bad altogether; I think it’s far more balanced and even fun at lower tiers. But in Top Tier… it’s just unbearable.

This much is objectively incorrect, but I will say it doesn’t happen as often as it should.

When playing Japan and I’m fighting Russia I absolutely first spawn my Type 81C to smack down the first spawn Kamov scum.

This is actually hilarious…

Anti CAS people want a game mode without aircraft. Everyone here shits on them and says, “just get in SPAA and deal with it”.

Those same people saying to “deal with it” are here bitching because they can’t get free kills on the SPAA…

Have some consistency community. There’s a reason I quit ground a long time ago 😂.

Y’all really want to find an irritating one? Try playing Sim and the Russian players just “J” when you get on their six.
