I love how powerful AA is at the top tier when CAS can barely keep up. People complain a lot about how bad AA is, but I would differ, as especially with this newest update, AA is OP. Tell me how any of the systems, IRST, Tan-SAM, etc., can lock me when I just spawn in on the runway and there is a mountain in the way. Or I stay in cover for over a minute maneuvering, and somehow the missile still locks, and I understand people will say things like “IOG” or whatever. There is no reason for how easy they are to spawn and spam off everything, killing everything no matter if there is a building in their face, and then dying. Rinse and repeat; either make CAS more powerful or something, which I am not sure would be the best thing, but they do need to be nerfed or made more “realistic.”
Or maybe… play a ground vehicle in a ground game. 😱. CAS is still definitely usable at high tiers, and absolutely deadly at lower tiers so there’s no problem. CAS just requires more skill than the aa spammers, but as long as ur good it should be fine.
So yeah, this is a horrible idea
The only answer I have to any of your points is “git gud lul” because CAS is 100% still really strong at top tier
You just suck at it
It’s probably a by-product of how they bodged ground radars to detect helis. What probably needs to happen is fix Heli radar signatures and then they can stop bodging the ground radars which would reduce the issue regarding SAM radars detecting you when they shouldn’t be able to.
Also maps are too small, have been for a while. I recall being killed by a pantsir whilst about to land more than 2 years ago. But now it’s the default for everyone. AFs need to be moved 20+ km further away
I agree I dont understand why they shrunk them recently
I agree with this one
Ground maps are way too small at top tier
Besides maintaining locks through trees and even this bs(https://youtube.com/shorts/Avb1cmjrKNc?si=37vJxyTVpr9bF-y0) spaa (as well as other ground units) can see aircraft through clouds (with eyes and not radar). Aircraft does not have this cloudhack or whatever is this.
Im not even surprised because War Thunder is the largest free-to-play multiplayer online game featuring military vehicles from the early 20th century until present time. Aviation, ground vehicles, and naval forces fight together in one game and even in one battle, just as the real-life battles were fought. The appearance and characteristics of the vehicles in War Thunder are historically accurate, and their damage models are physically based.
