I am a fan of free vehicles, such as tanks (if they had a couple modifications pre-set obviously.), but not spaa.
Pros to free spaa:
CAS haters are happy
Indirect nerf to CAS
Cons to free spaa:
Players who grinded the line have just been screwed over because somebody who never did it just gets it for free now, and its not like modifications matter too much on spaa.
70% of your team is sitting in spawn doing nothing (basically 1dl but with extra steps)
When you do spawn in a spaa, there is already 4 different players in spawn sitting, making it a geniune hunger games for who gets the plane kill.
What could be better:
Lower research/SL cost on SPAA, hopefully giving players the idea of; “Oh, this isnt too expensive, why not research it/buy it.” (Non premium players, such as me at a point in time, struggle/struggled with SL greatly, sometimes even to the point of having 3+ vehicles researched but not enough SL to buy 1.)
Lower modification research cost (3rd tier upgrades cost 22-39 thousand RP for 1 modification for 10.0+ SPAA, this is absurd as you get around 1-2 air kills a match)
I hope Im not the only one that feels this way, as this just removes the point of researching anti-air.
You still gotta grind the spaa line, if you want anything good for top tier. I just reached 12.7 and it’s a scray world out there even for my free Otomatic. My biggest praise for the system, that the SPAA does not take up a slot from my line-up. If it would take up a crew-slot it probably would be less popular.
I think you get the better missiles an,way. I spawned the free roland in once (9.3 lineup uptiered to 10.3) and it had the roland 3 missiles while it comes with roland 1 stock.
Because players dont need to research tanks to the BR where they start getting them for free?
There is a difference, tanks benefit from modifications, whereas SPAA dont need them.
People research the main tank lines, as you literally have to if you want to progress from tier to tier.
That is even worse in a way since people can just buy a lremium and have kind of a lineup now. And if you have only a few slots it might not make sense to take SPAA anyway.
Who wanna grind them anyway, do you know how many matches to reach essential parts like engine upgrade lol only people who against the free SPAA are someone who already spaded thier SPAAs and feel resentment (like I oredi suffers bro you should also suffers like the rest of us hehe)
the point is not whether grinding spaa is painful or not issue is that giving a free spaa to everyone removes the incentive to research and progress through the tech tree making something free because it is hard to grind is not a long term solution it just undermines the purpose of researching vehicles i hope you understood what i mean ‘‘hehe’’ kid
I find this statement extremely weird bro, first people complain about the grinding and now the same people start complaining about not having to grind lol you can continue to grind for the SPAA and treat the random vehicles as a test drive because the same vehicle isn’t always available, do you understand kid you makes no sense?
i half agree … but i don’t think they should be removed, i think they should have a significant down-tier. so players who are at 11.3+ should get the Osa-AKM/FlaRakPz 1/XM975 and players under that teir should get the ZSU-23-4M4/Ozelot/Gepard/M247. the SPAAs should not be random, but fixed for BR. this keeps the players who grinded SPAA still getting the kills they deserve and players who don’t have SPAA wanting to grind. anyone with me?
Lmao bro, now Gaijin allows players to drive something they didn’t already own, how is this not a good thing? You can play it a few times, if you don’t like it then you can decide not to waste time and lions researching for something you are not going to play, how is this a problem? some of you people are just weird man this is literally a QOL update, though its still an early state so they could further improve it. Have you also notice that pretty much half the game ends with nukes? because there are more foods now bro
