Update 2.57.0.30

• The Spawn Point cost for guided bombs and missiles with man-in-the-loop capabilities has been increased. For bombs with TV seekers, the cost has risen by 9%, and by 7.7% for those with thermal imaging seekers. For missiles with TV seekers, the cost has increased by 8.4%, and by 5.6% for those with thermal imaging seekers.
• The Spawn Point cost for anti-radiation missiles with wide-band seekers has been increased by 10%.
• The Spawn Point cost for anti-radiation missiles on helicopters has been decreased by 5.6%.

ARM’s cost should not be increase, as an munition targeting only SAMs, it has no threat to tanks and SAMs are already cheapest unit in GRB.
Instead, the SAM’s spawn cost should be significantly increase to match the cost of ARM, and for better balancing between air and ground, especially between SAMs and air.
There are no points using 700sp to counter 100sp, the 7times cost gap. And the free SAM is already requiring NO skill, NO money, NO grinding time. For top tier SAM systems, i would say bind half key on keyboard to switch target and another half for firing, kick it away and a kill is scored.
Playing top tier SAMs actually requires no BRAIN.

• All rewards in Silver Lions have been increased by 40%.
• The rewards in Silver Lions for the destruction of ground vehicles have been further increased by 40%.

This is very good news. It’s a shame that the event extension is only until 6th of July.

Blindly adding CAS spawn points in Ground RB will not improve the gameplay experience at all. Instead, encouraging all types of players to participate in air combat is the only way to balance CAS. (In other words, you should only be eligible for CAS if you win the air superiority battle.) This would also help boost the sales of various premium packs.
Some might ask, ‘Why not just play Air RB?’ My answer is: CAS in Air RB is basically just PvE; there is absolutely no real air-to-ground interaction. If I get destroyed by an aircraft, I want to find a way to get revenge in the air, not just grind in the mud playing some so-called ‘tank FPS’.

I have some good news for you incase you missed it :)

@BVV_d

After this event ends, we plan to launch the next one in approximately one and a half to two weeks.

The ESM functionality has been temporarily limited to ground targets only. We plan to revise and return the ability to detect and attack air targets in the future.

Whas is that? ESM?

Electronic support measures, here is a direct link to the relevant section of this official post about it: Anti-Radiation Missiles and Electronic Support Measures!

Any news about GBU 53 and Spice 250 fix?

[Thodin]

I’m working to ace my IRIS T, but I also noticed since quite a while that there aren’t alot air spawns. If so, its mostly just Mi-28 or Suchois. Most other nations don’t do any air spawns. I guess one reason are the absurd spawn point costs, so pleople really just spawn very op stuff with LMUR/KH-38. No one invests that much for some guided bombs or Mavericks.

Gaijin nerfs all cas based off soviet cas performance and ignoring the reason why soviet cas is so dominant

No, Air battle mode exists which is exclusively for this, there is no need to make ground battles air focused

Why dont you get your “revenge” in Air mode then ?

[Thodin]

Ok thanks, maybe you should just have writen that ARMs don’t work vs. jets and choppers anymore. Was especially nice in GRB to get intel (no marker mode) and get some unexpected kills.

[冰_鲜_柠_檬_水]

Sadly the game is kidnaped by such things, WarThunder is killing its unique by endlessly succumbing to those tankers. Though most of which neither have ability to suppress enemy to have no points to get a CAS nor can even fly a aircraft.

[Make_a_wish_kid]

GBU-53 StormBreaker (+majority of the bombs) fix when

[Thodin]

Yes. I would definetly invest alot spawn points to get a Mi-28 or Suchoi with KH-38. Cause it usually pays off anyways. But why should I ever spawn a Phantom with two TV guided Mavericks or and Eurofighter/Tornado with four F&F bombs or something similar. It costs the same as an Suchoi with 6x KH-38 or an Mi-28 with indefinite LMURs (insta reload at helipads).

@F-16D Barak II

Stop making CAS more expensive to spawn. You disincentivize experienced SPAA players from playing which results in teams getting wiped by CAS since SPAA is only spawned after a CAS aircraft has performed its strike. Not to mention how now if someone has spawned CAS they are more likely to try harder not to die in it since it was much harder to get.

How is that an issue? back when CAS was dirt cheap to spawn, a fully loaded CAS aircraft can spawn in just 1-2 minutes after the match began. SP increase is always nice.

@Stona_WT

The precision and smoothness of the vehicle’s motion in the Bomb/Missile Camera View have been improved.

this significantly reduced the sensitivity of the camera in MITL to the point i’d consider it unusable, why make such a big change to sensitivity without letting us have a setting for it ourselves?
A distance I can pan with just the size of my mousepad in a targeting pod, requires me to swipe my mouse across my entire mousepad several times now.
