Spaa - long grind for minimal reward

There generally isn’t much that I need to add… Spaa doesn’t give enough rewards to be so damn expensive, why would I spend more time grinding the russian spaa line then just focusing on the heavy/medium tank ones? Spaa doesn’t give much of a reward and I only use it when I’m bored and just want to chill and be silly.

My solution is to make them cheaper (in terms of rp mainly) giving higer tiers (rank 4/5 and above) half or something of the current rp required.
I don’t see making spaa better at grinding as a solution the cost will always outweigh the gain when it comes to spaa IMO

Spaa is require to protect your team from CAS and some spaa work perfect as td like the BTRZ-D, ZSU-27-2 in GRB.

You are assuming WT is a “team-based” game. LOLOLOL…

I agree their relative RP/SL costs are probably too high, but the bigger issue imo is the stock grind and general “every day” use of them and their rewards being too low.

Recently finished the stock grind for the Rapier and there were many matches where I sat AFK because there was no CAS to shoot down and when I did the rewads were. A little low.

So a notable increase in the rewards for actually using an SPAA I think would do a lot to increasing the player base’s interest in using them and farming them far more.

If they improve rewards for killing enemy aircrafts (even scouts) and intercepting munition, that’ll be quite ideal.

SPAA is a support class and should be treated that way when it comes to researching them. As you said why spend your time researching them when I will have more fun and success playing tanks.

It makes no sense

Just your sheer presence should be rewarded. After all you cant kill tanks (with obvious exceptions) nor cap properly.

I like to hear that

Using 90-110 SP to exchange over 600 SP CAS plane, pretty fair…

THE consequence of mid cold war SPAAs being too strong lol

That would be terrible. SPAA is the second most easy and braindead role to play in Warthunder (second to CAP).

There is no assumption. It is a team game. If someone chooses to act like some Call of Duty kid who only cares about themselves, that is on them. You’re in control of how you play. I play for my team. I play support vehicles to support the team.

Munition intercept rewards are still way too low, you save your teammate from certain death and all you get is 500 sl and 150 rp

Not sure making them cheaper is the right idea.

I do agree though the SPAA rewards need a massive buff, you get so little for shooting down planes it makes them not really worth the time

Hope gaijin considers creating SPAA PvE event using the ground battle maps, there are some SPAAs that are exhausting to grind like those that use SACLOS, Osa, Strela or are IR guided. (I want to spade everything)

They should flip the munition destruction rewards and the scout drones destruction rewards.

The issue is that IR guided SAMs like the stinger are ridiculously overpowered, to the point that spawning plane at that BR is almost never worth it.

Stinger SAM are by far the easiest ones to avoid

Yes in a Harrier/ Hunter/ with good retention, No in a speed bleeder mig21f, not in a brick su22

And No on SPAA side when brain is used before firing.

It was mostly a joke but still partially true.

A LOT of players in War Thunder completely ignore the battle objectives and are just in it for themselves. You can not count on support from your team.

And that’s aside from the already mentioned poor rewards, high cost of research and repair, and high vulnerability to both ground and air attacks.
