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

You’re not earning all the SP needed from that, you’re partially using the spawnpoints you got from starting a match.
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.
Why don’t we talk about the people who J out to avoid getting killed by bombs?
Why should we?
Because unlike people who use CAS the people who J out to avoid getting killed are actually a problem since its unsportsmanlike.
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

I only had a single bomb at the time

It shouldnt matter how often unsportsmanlike conduct happens for it to be a problem

Being sportsmanlike has nothing to do with game balance and everything to do with player behavior
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.

It is always funny as most air users in GRB will fly over their airfield when faced with enemy air user.
But it is fair that someone who just cap a point using reserve tank is able to bomb You without You being able to do anything about it.

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. _(^,^)_/

it’s not a sport it’s a competitive war game and it can be an expensive one for some.

One thing I hope we can agree on is that the YAK-9 45 AP belt needs removing, it’s grotesquely unfun

That’s just being pedantic. Sportsmanship is part of all competition.
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

honestly just make it so you dont spawn with any SP and the first 2 lives dont cost SP for tanks, would also help to stop 1 death leavers as well
Nothing would change
