Im leaning towards NATO getting aim120 sams
I hope so, but I won’t hold my breath. It would be on brand to screw it up.
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.
Yup, its easier. Atleast in prop tiers planes have to get near the spaa to kill them. Now they can kill them from 3-8km out of their range!
And pantsirs can still hit jets at their spawn. When you spawn in a jet if you dont immediately turn hard 90 degrees and leave you will probably die.
Being an avid CAS user, the ability to use CAS decently is limited to having:
-
Lots of friendly planes for SPAA to target first
-
No SPAA at all
The issue isn’t CAS, it’s a lack of people playing SPAA.

Or dive & hit low flanking strikes.
Pantsir is what all top tier spaa should be ATLEAST. F-15e and Rafale both dog on the pantsir if played right.

Wow I’ve never had issues as CAS because ir missiles are a joke and manual missiles are a joke so I just stay low and print free money.
‘IR missiles are a joke’?
Maybe I’m just bad, but I die to Type-81C’s and FIM-92K’s pretty often unless reflaring.
Stingers are a joke though. Type-81s not as much but they get outranged like all other spaa.
Thats odd I literally never get killed by any ir missiles. Once I’m in the air unless they have enemy air up I’m practically impossible to kill.
Except for the fact aircraft are perfectly balanced from 1.0 - 11.0.
I was talking IR SAM systems, not planes, planes are indeed not difficult to deal with.
Yep … thats EXACTLY what I am talking about sam systems are a joke the only real issue are other jets shooting you down.
I have no idea if you are being sarcastic but If you truly believe this you’ve never played top tier.
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.
LMAO AHAHHAHAHHA 10/10 rage bait

Thanks for coming in to tell us you’ve never played top BR.
After all, everyone that has played top BR knows it’s 12.0 not 11.0.
@PompousMagnus
Yeah, it’s sad your post is ragebaiting.
Next you’ll say SPAA is OP and you can’t get frags in your CAS.
The issue is spawning in CAS to quickly. You shouldnt be able to spawn in planes and helicopters 30 seconds into a game. Gaijin needs to remove scouting reduction plane spawn costs and reduce SP gains from capping the FIRST point of the game.
