God I’m jealous.
I bring out my cent mk3 and the skies turn into F84 and sabres and me262s on the regular.
Oh and Sk60bs. Sk60 has been the only jet I managed to shoot down with consistency so far, f84s need ambushing while they make a low pass. SAABs have been pure death.
Me 262s are about all I ever seen above 6.7, and ~8.7+ there’s basically nothing aside from rocket rushing helis and Su 25s
For me its at 9.3/9.7 where very little CAS spawn. Each game was like 0 kills to 2 kills or 1 kill when I used the SANTAL…literally had to go to 10.3 to start seeing more CAS to use these SAMs more often XD Currently have a 4.8 K/D with the SANTAL, wasn’t even that hard to use. People just fire the missile just because they have a lock instead of waiting for the right time to fire and call it a bad SAM. Like nah…just use it right…
Every other Br I will find a good amount of CAS spawning to shoot down.
A simple sentence to which there is a rather complex answer…
The problem is that after the end of WWII, everyone was convinced that the next conflict would be at a strategic level using nuclear bombs…
The Korean War, however, showed the smarter ones that it won’t be like that…
So the CAS aircraft in Korea were these:
North Korea
_ ilyushin-10, Tupolev-2, Yak-18, Po-2 …
United Nations
_Corsair F4U-4B, -4P, -5N, -5NL
_Hawker Sea Fury
The greatest fame was taken away by the MiG-15 vs. F-86 and B-29 bombers,
behind them in the role of fighter-bombers were the F-80, F-84, F9F, Meteor F-8,
A-26 light bombers,
night fighters F-82, F-7F, F3D-2
reconnaissance and F2H-2 escort etc…
The Americans first tried to make an aircraft for direct CAS targeting, it was the AD-2/4 series aircraft, but it quickly became obsolete, so the next attempt was the A-4B and its next version, but it still wasn’t the same… Only the A-10 succeeded , but it is very busy even after years of quality service, in general there is a group of people in the USAF who promote the F-35 as an all-purpose aircraft, that it will be an absolute game charger in the field of any air combat, but there is also a strong group of those who they claim that the A-10 is irreplaceable and the F-35 is for CAS, too expensive a toy and definitely not a recipe for everything…
As for the Soviets/Russians, they tried different jet-bis variants for CAS, then tried to do CAS with SU-7/17/22 variants until they got to the Su-25/39…
What will be the future of CAS aircraft is uncertain, helicopters are probably over in this role, it looks like drones, either controlled from ground bases, or a flying control center of Airbus A-400M drone operators…
This thread is literally just CAStards trying to explain how they don’t have a massive edge with massive insta-kill rockets, mini nukes, F&F ATGM, and now in the upcoming update a whole dozens of gliding bombs with 90km of range with which they can literally bomb the entire map while out of range of even the god damn pantsir lmao.
But “muh SPAA costs only 70sp :'(((((((”
Yeah, it’s just coping to justify an unbalanced mechanic.
I’ve yet to see a convincing argument that justifies the existence of CAS in GRB other than “Gaijin wont make TO because CAS premium” and “people already bought CAS premiums specifically for GRB and they’d be mad”
you mean the ones that have 26kg of tnt and that can only hit a certain spot so the way to defeat it is it uhm slightly move to the right lol, im gonna be real if you actually die to a GBU-39 thats a massive skill issue lmaooooo everything else is a valid complaint tho lol
Isn’t the sturmorser the only ground vehicle with more explosive mass than that?
You can’t throw “skill issues” around when you defend CAS buddy
maybe? not sure, the point still stands if you die to a GBU-39 from 20kms away then you were either camping or AFK so idk lol
alright lol, idk what else I would call dying to a 26kg bomb from 20km away is, it cant be updated after launch meaning A. you were AFK B. were camping or C. it was dropped on someone else and you ended up where they were which would be just bad timing.
Spawn a tank, die to a dozen glide bombs dropped from the stratosphere. Somehow you played wrong.
Drop a dozen glide bomb every 3 minutes from the airfield, get a few lucky kills from the sheer volume of ordinance you can send while protected by your airfield AAA. Somehow you are a very good player.
this is literally the same as just sitting in your spawn firing off a sturmtiger at the enemy spawn every now and then, like its completely up to chance if you kill someone and with how little explosive mass it has, you need almost a direct hit.
you strike me as one of the people that got really mad at that one clip of a guy tossing a GBU8 from 20km out randomly at the map and it kills someone, like bomb tossing or glide bombs from that far out are complete rng and if they kill their intended target thats means you were sitting still for ages
Evading the point and calling people mad doesn’t do any good to your side.
how is that evading the point lmao, my guy you are literally ignoring the argument I give also I guess you missed this part where I agreed with you, I was making fun of you complaining about a 26kg glide bomb that is more of a gimmick
Ive also been advocating to keep balance in line for gaijin to remove the Mavs and the KH38MT from the F15E and Su34 and give the F15E Mav Es instead since they are laser guided
no, I mean that’s all that ever gets spawned
There it is … expecting people to be psycic.
And how would said target know when it is coming . The only warning is when it lands on your head and instantely goes off.
CAS is massively OP.
And CAS users who complain are massively privileged because gajin is MASSIVELY neglecting AA.
Half asses the aiming computers and sights of most. and right out sabotaging radars and lock on features.
meanwhile CAS gets fire and forget 0 effort missiles and mostly clear skies.
You need too stop whining and go back too Air rb/ab/sim or get dcs or something.

its a crazy idea called not sitting still, glide bombs from out side of SPAAs ranges take over a minute to land, if you have sat still that long then thats your own fault, I have yet to die to any kind of GPS guided bomb in ground RB even when ive been playing spaa. It really isnt hard to avoid them.
Ikd how im the one whining lol, from where I’m sitting your the one complaining about how CAS is so op and you cant do anything about it lol
Tanks dont always have the luxury of moving… cause sometimes theres repairs. or your holding a lane too keep enemys from flanking your teammates.
All CAS is disrupt the fun by beeing OP , and ground was better without them.
Not you in particular , but CAS heads in general. theres is nothing in ground you cant do in air RB . except annyo and ruin good fun for ground only players, basicly your unwanted. stay in air RB and leave ground to groundplayers
Basolfse
if only rewards were better for kill ground targets and the ground targets werent in the middle of the map where there are going a massive furball then maybe people who like playing CAS would play ARB but right now you wont even get to the ground targets and if you do its not worth the time you wasted.
and no offense a bit rude to sit there say people are whining (when you yourself are) and then when people give a valid argument tell them to stop playing because they arent wanted, the mode is meant to be combined arms thats the whole point, it always has been and always will be
