SPAA Radar screen needs to be removed/changed

The radar screen is stupidly easy to use, there comes a point to where once you get the toptier spaa all skill is removed from it and you are just playing a point and click game like an atari game. not only that, but makes 0 sense of having some of the features in it.

First of all, why the hell is there a filter in the first place? being able to completely remove any allied vehicles from the radar screen makes absolutely no sense and isn’t even a thing irl, with that feature you can completely get rid of the clutter in the radar screen with your allied vehicles and munitions. Along with that, why is there a filter for munitions? and why does it even have to say it? Now any player thats above level 50 will know if I fired a AGM or GBU and can completely shoot it down easily. Instead, it shouldn’t even be mentioned on the screen as “enemy missle” and they should figure out whether or not I fired a missle at them.

Second, the terrain view on the screen? Why does that even exist, no point in it being there

Third, being able to lock on and fire without even touching your keyboard is ridiculous. at least remove the button hints

Finally, the free spaa. It doesn’t bother me too much that there is free stock spaa in the lineup now, but I don’t understand the point of it if its stock and that it completely removes the purpose of any sort of grind in the spaa line for it, now that you essentially don’t have to grind for it anymore since its given to you on your hand for free because premium players bought their way to toptier and leave after one death and tried to fix it

How dare the ppl on the ground can fight back when Iam trying to get my free kills with CAS

aw looks like someone died to cas a few times and got angry

Most of my kills are from my gun lol, i hate bringing the gbu’s or agms on the a-10. also thanks for taking the time out of ur day to do some research on my stats <3

“I died once to this thing and i’m very upset. make it harder for them to play instead so i can be happy”

maybe you should try learning how to play GRB ))

you’re trying to bring one thing up with something completely different. for a game that aims to be “realistic” in terms of combat and functionality of said vehicles, a radar screen and third person are two different things, also, someone forgot sim battles exist :O

thanks for proving my point ?

you know if the radar screens were modeled correctly, you would be complaining even more since they would be able to do so much more from only the radar screen

its almost like those vehicles are only controlled from those IRL

i wonder what this could be

i do know actually, as a pilot irl, ive been up to control towers before, ive seen how a radar screen works and its interesting, but its funny how in the pic you send i see only about 3 things similar to how it actually is in war thunder.

ah yes the atc is totally the same as what a SAM does

Meanwhile the IFF on your aircraft’s radar

NCTR is also a thing on aircraft radars. Id anything I’d wish they’d give them the ability to sort by them too, as some modern stuff should more then definitely be able to do, given things like the EF2K or F-2 are capable of munitions interception irl.
