After Gaijin nerfed Big bombs, APHE, the new mechanism for respawning a plane is too harsh. The main issue is due to the CAS respawning too fast, camp one point, got a scount bonus, and then you can respawn a superpower CAS with a bomber to make a mess. But now, after adding so many Cold War SPAAs(yes, Russia got Cold War SPAA at 2.7), and nerfed those CAS which were complained about thousands of times(NS45, Big bombs over 3000 pounds), what else do we have left?
Considering SPAA could respawn over 4 times in the game, and most of the time the CAS could only respawn 1 time, at least allow CAS to carry some less lethal munitions, such as some rockets(RP3 and HVAR), high pen rounds without brust charge(N37, mk103 API,) and small bombs(like 100kg bombs, even not 500lb bombs), this change could make like Britsh, Italy, Sweden, Germany could able to respawn 2 times of CAS to reduce the advantages from Russia or USA
You need to understand, the people who support the change do not think in logic or balance, they simply think in “WAAAH WAAAH CAS OP CAS OP!!!” and thus blindly support any and all ideas that could even slightly nerf CAS, with absolutely 0 regard for any other effects it may have.
I don’t care 500lb or bigger bombs, but Gaijin must do something to improve those “small” nations’ CAS, I’m tired of fighting tons of SPAA and do nothing in the sky, not all the nations have good 20mm guns that can penetrate tanks easily
I‘m okay to nerf toptier CAS, yea that’s crazy, but it doesn’t make sense that Gaijin nerfed them all, even they nerfed like powerful APHE and huge bombs, those normal CAS planes are innocent, respawn 2 times JU87 needs to pay 1500 SP lmao
What are you talking about? Low br CAS can be just as deadly as top tier. At top tier, both CAS and SPAA gameplay is point and click while low br SPAA can have a hard time hitting planes while CAS just needs to drop bombs and dodge AA fire which is easy if you’re not flying 5 meters above them.
Low br spaa are much easier, those planes are so slow as fixed target, especially for those .50cals SPAAs, that’s why T77E1 moved to 4.0, and even don’t to worry about overheating or reloading, same as ZIS94KM, if you want you kill an air target before it is diving
Each of time you want to destory these spaa, you need to go toward them and have a heads on, and just one round can destroy your whole planes, you only have one chance, but if your enemy want, they can respawn 4 times at least.
at least half of the players using CAS is just for Kamikaze, drop the bomb, and then crash or never have the second chance because:
SPAA players could use air alarms
Game station players can lock CAS planes as Naval battles
Most of SPAA’s guns are much better than planes, especially for the Muzzle Velocity
SPAA doesn’t need to move their position if they want, just stay at home and then click the mouse when they get ready
Even SPAA fire and miss, then the planes must take risks to deal with them, with only one chance.
Staying on the ground may only happen when you have good tanks, not all nations have. CAS is a great complement and balance; however, people only know stay at ground.
