A true GRB is what the OP is talking about . NO CAS, No planes just land vehicles. It’s a solution in itself.
The whole debate/argument of CAS in GRB goes out of the window. No more Airborne frustration and no more nerfing of peoples precious CAS.
The question is ,how and why do War Thunder players find the ultimate solution offensive?
If combined arms works well and you love the game as it is then fine but please dont spend the next twenty minutes typing an essay about how it needs " Balancing " or nerfing. Just get on with it and enjoy it.
If planes are ruing a potentially brilliant game then taking the planes out is the obvious answer.The game runs fine without them already so its no issue.
So the OP is saying that if TO does not effect those who like CAS so why complain about TO? Basically its just forum pettiness. Rival forum regulars who feel their ego isn’t being massaged enough by their opposition.
You can see that by the early answers. " Somebody was a bit rude to me so I say no to a TO game " etc etc .Some times this forum exits for its own benefit and I’m sure some people spend more time on here talking crap than playing the game
I got good at CAS playing almost extensively Japanese " CAS " and having to learn precision with the sub-250kg bombs. Got pretty good at dropping them right onto people’s foreheads. I’ve gotten kind of rusty in the last few years, but I’m still accurate 7/10 times.
They can be nice but you have to both get way too close and spend too much time right above the battlefield. I prefer to carry one or two larger ones, drop them quickly, and get going to intercept enemy aircraft.
This is extremely true, shooting down aircraft is a thankless endeavour.
To be truthful, it’s not CAS players being so vocal in thier opposition, but those who are advocates of this mode, shouting down anyone who dares to say no, so much so it just becomes a tyrade of abuse and 'how dare you’s until it becomes a mere statcheck fest, with dumb throwouts about skill and situationalism ignoring the points that SPAA isn’t that costly to spawn, backups are there, and that you can actually play indirectly compared to just having to take shots you aren’t going to make.
After all, this was dead for a period of 2 months, and it’s been spammed to all buggery because people aren’t happy with the game they want to play, which includes planes.
The real CAS problem is the SP cost. 1 cap or 1 assist is enough for a 2x1000pds fighter bomber. thats nonsense.
most games up to 7.7 is 8 vs 8 cas after 5min. you cannon counter this. when a team spawn 2-3 spaa, all dead after 10sec at spawn. and the averege fighter with bombs cost 540 sp maybe, becoz have 1000pd or 500/250 kg bombs. but with gun kills all spaas. bombers are 710 sp, but most are useless in ground RB. ok PE8 and Lancaster worth it.
i think attacker and fighter SP cost must have raise to 700+ sp.
after 7.7 until 9.7 is a cas is not a real problem. gepards, shilkas rule the air, but the most popular BR 4.0-7.7 the number of planes ruin the game. and gaijin promote this playstyle. kill 1 in ground, and bring a plane.
i dont play high tier, but after a new update, think will be more very strong plane
Eh, ive always been against stuff like this since it heavily penalizes stuff that simply cannot do AA work. I’d rather just fix the SPAA SP issue (via variable SPAA costs based on ammo taken) then do something like this.
Cas player upset because he doesn’t get one of his 4 free kills?
How often doas it happen that you consider it a big problem
Monty python fruit attacks are more fair than the current cas balance so I don’t know what you mean by unsportsmanlike it seams to imply a fair sport
Not to mention the cas balance After the dev Server goas Live
It takes a septic tank player to know that exploit and use it in such a manner to deny them their ‘free kills’ when you were sitting ducks anyway and were dead to rights.
I dunno, it was pretty babyish behaviour for a literal WW2 relic to kamikaze into my Chieftain with a bomb the size of a rather well fed toddler. I might have gotten my first nuke the way that game was going, and it’s only fair to give up and let the dominant guy win. _(^,^)_/
the difference is the SPAA have a way higher ROF and not to mention they cost less then half of what a light tank does, some of the most OP tanks in the game for their BRs are the ZA35 and the finish leo2 Marksmen
