I never cared about CAS imbalance too much but the Kh-38 is beyond dumb, don’t introduce A/KD-88s on the JH-7 because it would outrange SPAA, okay, don’t introduce Longbow Hellfires because they’d be too good, eh fine, pre-nerf Brimstones because they’d be too good by arbitrarily limiting them to one guidance selection, what about Vikhrs destroying 3 gamemodes for the longest time then and acting as dual purpose missiles when the function had to be selected by the pilot pre-launch? The Su-25SM3/Su-34 outranging SPAA almost twice over with F+F munitions? Is of balance comrade)))
yeah I don’t play anything above 11.3 anymore. Worst part of all of this is that ppl defend the Kh-38
It’s it’s not ARH missiles it’ll be a failure. Anything short of ARH is a failure. We shouldn’t be manually guiding missiles when they can pop, fire and go back under cover and lock the position of the map from the vehicles selection place.
Anything less then ARH SPAA is a failure for top tier.
Honestly its only just the latest few planes that have been able to consistently beat current top tier SPAA.
Everything before that has required a heap of counter play to avoid SPAA, and those aircraft are still 2.0 BRs above said SPAAs. Anything thats actually at the BR of current top tier SPAA is completely outmatched and requires a serious level of defensive flying to even survive, let alone get kills.
I have never believed that top tier is like props. in WW2/prop tiers yes, CAS is super easy and SPAA is super difficult.
At top tier its reversed, Pilots up to around 13.0ish have to do a lot of things very efficiently to get their munitions off without dying, while SPAA players can just sit there with one hand on their mouse, a finger up their nose, and easily knock those aircraft down.
Definitely the latest aicraft are still swinging it back in the other direction again, but its still nowhere near as easy to avoid SPAA as it is in props.
SPAA isnt useless people who think like this are the reason why you die to CAS often. Getting killed by planes is part of the game, its the reason why you have a line up and can respawn. Spawning SPAA is 100% valuable and makes the enemy CAS players have to focus you and if you manage to kill them the SP trade is demonstrably in your favor. All these cope threads are just people playing bad lineups with 0 spaa or think that they shouldnt have to spawn spaa because “its GROUND RB 4HEAD” you are the reason why you are having a bad time. Perhaps go play a lower BR where getting CAS’d is exactly the same but the plane isnt called SU-34.
