SPAA J'ing out before you can kill them

Had a guy like that in ASB yesterday. He would only take a headon fight with his AIM9L missiles (my plane has only AIM9J). When he was out of missiles and lost the dogfight, he would intentionally crash to deny credit. He did that 5 times in a row, then I told him he is a little B and quit the game.

Removing proxy rewards from ARB and ASB was the biggest mistake Gaijin ever done. I’ve been fighting for half an hour and didn’t get a single SL out of it.

Regarding players J’ing out… this issue has become so common in the past couple of months. Not only with SPAA. These people hear or see a bomb coming at them and they immediately just leave the vehicle. Almost feels like some youtuber is telling people to do this.

Good i will keep J’ing out when CAS tries to kill me, CAS is simply too overpowered currently nobody in their right mind should think mavericks with up to 20km range are balanced

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mav’s don’t even reach the target from 14 km’s or right when they have 1 more km they explode lmao. The problem is for sure the overpowered mavericks

Yeah it is mavs work fine out to 20km since they have LOAL in both of these scenarios these SPAA couldn’t do anything as im outside their effective range

I wouldn’t be surprised, but I highlighted to the GMs, CMs and to Stona even how this was happening, but apparently it’s not exploiting to leave your vehicle…

So yea… It needs highlighting to them more because it definitely is an exploit and they’re really being a problem.

And spaa can’t lock abowe 10 km.(type 81 is the example spaa). In all aspect it only 6 km. Dunno man, at worst mav’s have 4 km longer range, so stop pretending cas is not handheld and OP. And don’t even get started on helicopters, they can only be locked relliabla below 2 km.

I heard one of them ATGM exploded in the air haha, but In all honesty, isn’t that what AA fighters are for??? To protect the Air space and attack CAS , and if CAS gets past AA fighters then SPAA is the next line? So I would say that’s fair, you won the air space and you get to play in it, If a Mig spawned in when you did I’d say you would probably not be having a good day in the A-10,

Honestly, I can’t understand why people are so caught up on dying to someone so much they exploit to avoid giving a kill to someone in a PvP game… They die anyway, but they’re just denying one person the kill they rightly deserve.

Dam if only WT had something to counter CAS planes that sat outside SPAA range, hmmmmmmmm idk maybe Spawn a dam air-to-air plane, AA fighter perhaps??, SPAA is a Close range protection platform it’s not a dam, Medium Range Ground-Based Air Defence system

yes I would love to have at least 3 bot fighters to intercept cas similar to airfields in sim just so I’m able to play the game

None of them pre detonated they all had a clear lock on the targets mavericks only detonate if they fail to hold lock that was 3 kills there plus the 2 fron earlier with zero effort involved you’re just making shit up to pretend CAS isn’t overpowered

whats CAP gonna fo when i have flares and can just ignore them or kill them with a Lima besides the CAP aircraft would need to fly directly over the battlefield to get to me which means he’s within our spaa range
Also SPAA at high tier have comically short range Stingers are only good out to 3km if the target isnt flying directly at you and all of the SACLOS missiles ingame are hard locked to 7-8km even the pantsir because the moment the booster runs out the missile is incapable of hitting moving targets

If a mig spawned in id instantly kill him with a point blank lima, CAP in GRB has no benefits above 8.7 because i can just fire off all my ATGMs before you even get within 6km of me

only in war thunder


IDK, it looks like a “PRE DETONATION” to me

Well i got 3 kills there so clearly not

How are you still alive? I poke my head up above trees for 1 second and I would already have 5 missiles going for me lol. It almost feels like you play in a completely different matchmaker.

Are we looking at the same image here

Didn’t say that Cas is not Op i just said that the mav is not the main problem

Im alive because i actually look at my RWR and kill the SPAA first you can throw mavericks reliably from 10km with a POINT lock and as long as the SPAA doesn’t move considerably at around the 4-5km range the maverick will lock onto the SPAA if its a 2S6 or another SACLOS SPAA you should throw two mavericks just incase they shoot one down

Yeah i got 3 kills so it clearly didn’t detonate
