SPAA J'ing out before you can kill them

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

Exactly.

The same “jUsT sPaWn SpAa” folks then proceed to spend the whole match bombing the spawns pre-emotively to spawn-camp even the SPAAs, then get mad when someone decides not to hand them their 12th free C*S kill on a silver plate lmao

Almost every time I “just spawn SPAA” there are bombs and missiles opening crates beneath me while my spawn protection lasts (and some people on this thread want to remove it lmao), and most of the times a single bomb of theirs kill ALL of the SPAAs on the spawn via overpressure as soon as the spawn protection is gone, so yeah, excuse me if I’ve grown tired of being nothing but food for OP C*S that don’t allow me to play ground vehicles in ground battles.

You ended up 3km away from them, nobody even attempted to fire at you was my point. It just seems so odd when I compare the video to my games.

And where do you get these so called AA figthers??? Ah, thats right at the end of the aviation thechtree! So if you havent grinded it, you don’t have any! Not everyone likes air gameplay and not everyone has time to grind two tech trees.

Yeah before the clip the only SPAA they had was a Type-93 so i just killed him first from 10km away since he wasnt moving also the quality of players depends on what server you’re playing on the moment i stopped playing on EU and instead NA i noticed the average NA player is worse at the game

Yeah, when I am having tough games at EU, I switch to NA as well lol.

^ This. I agree.

Even the Pantsir/Ito90M can be made basically useless by a barely competent CAS player in a top tier CAS aircraft.

Imagine an OTOMATIC or a TOR (one which is using nothing but proxy at 11.3 - basically 11.7 since it’s your top tier SPAA, and an SPAA with only 8km of range where it’s facing missiles with double that) fighting a CAS player with an IQ of a Gorilla (70 IQ) rather than the IQ of inanimate objects (top tier CAS players that actually complain about SPAA)?

They’re basically morally obligated to J out in order to deny kills to the animal that got to spawn a vehicle which is basically immune to being shot down just because they rushed a cap and got an assist or clicked the scout button. And God forbid if they got a single kill before they died because they’d have enough SP to spawn nuclear bombs if you could put those on regular aircraft in-game and spawn them regularly.

The simple fix to CAS is making all long range guided munitions that outrange SPAA cost 100%-200% more SP. While making pure fighter loadouts with missiles actually decrease the SP required to spawn. Incentivize fighters, de-emphasize long range guided munitions unless you’ve earned it.

They’re still welcome to use shorter range bombs/rockets with CCRP/CCIP even if they’ve died after barely doing anything, but at least SPAA will actually have a chance to take them down if they do. And there’ll be more fighters in the air.

I thought kills are not so important to You.

Vechicle is dead so you what is a problem?

This seems to be a sign for me to go shoot down some planes in grb.

Everytime i see people complain about cas, it makes me want to go play spaa and/or fighters.

Could use the harrier gr7 and get the best of both worlds.

Would be a shame if i just throw a MICA at you just after i drop three PGMs on the enemy

It’s exploiting, and it’s a literal punk move… Punk is interchangable. More than what people think bad about those who do CAS.

And the true commonality in these scenes I have seen, is they all jump into planes themselves after being the cheap noob.

This sort of attitude is the production of egging this whinge on for so long.

They aren’t bad guys for getting you, and there’s no reason to be so upset about things that much that you are just abusing people on the regular because you got got, or you got outplayed, or you just straight up lost.

No reason whatsoever to be all caught up this much.

Leaving your vehicle isnt an exploit its a literal ingame feature cry about it
