As the title says, spaa’s are most of the time defendless from flankers, only select few have a fighting chance, viehicles like flakrakrad or pantsir are dead 95% of the time when flanked in their own spawn. Spaa’s need a separate spawn thats far from tank spawn

That would likely just buff the aircraft unfortunately. Biggest weakness for most SPAA is range. If they spawned even further away, they would be less effective covering the battlefield and its just easier for aircraft to use weapons like KH-38s beyond max range of the SPAA.
What is needed
- Make CAP signifcantly cheaper
- Increase the size of spawn points (why is it 1-2 small zones and not just the full edge of the map?)
- Massive buffs to all SPAA at top tier

I dont think thats a problem that can really be fixed. Flankers and spawncampers will always be a problem no matter what

To be honest, I can only do something with the SPAA when I run along with the team.
Most CAS players do not know how to proper bomb or guide amunitions, so they just fly straigh to the tanks.
Also, as weird as it sounds, I kill more tanks thank Planes with my SPAA, specially when Im not dricing a big glass truck.
I think the best solution would be to make the CAS payloads cost more spawn points. This would at least stop the CAS Spam.
Most of the time people spawn with a ligh vehicle, cap a flag and J out. Then get a CAS plane and marciless wreck my team.

Following the team is a good strat in lower tiers but in top tier its so common to climb and bomb entire teams with laser guided munitions or mavericks.
No, I don’t think removing CAS is the way to go for War Thunder. Instead, we need tools to counter it better. They could add a radar system for each team that scans the air every 15 seconds or so, making it tougher for CAS to dominate. (this could also be controlled by cap poitns) Also, AA units should have way more range, and maybe even something like CIWS that your team can unlock by capturing specific zones on the map. On top of that, we need more diverse game modes, bigger maps, and newer, more advanced AA systems that force CAS players to be more skilled at dodging. It’d make the game more balanced and interesting.
Thats true, it should be a separate gamemode, just how planes can play witchout tanks, let tanks play witchout planes
Flanking and camping would become an even bigger issue though
As if would will ever nerf CAS or change the gamemodes. Two things they would never do.
They might do it one day. The community has been complaining for a while now that the gamemodes are boring.
Don’t worry, soon enough flanking will be a ban-able offence
