You think that, but it’s not, hence why we can spawn SPAA and Air as well.
Choose not to take or field them, and this is the result you get.
You have an option to not spawn air, you aren’t even obliged to bring them in your lineup.
I field them and still end up useless because they get outranged by CAS. Just like you haven’t even taken them.

Then don’t complain when you can’t counter what comes at you…
Cool story.
Indeed, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t there to take, or that their presence doesn’t make the threat think twice…
If they aren’t there at all, then the threat doesn’t need to think or care.
That’s the difference.
And telling people that it’s pointless and to not take them, merely weakens your teams because no-one will bother.
If You can’t understand what context is, that is not my issue. I have already explained it to You:
I’m finding it amusing because after all this time You are going to finally discover why some people want a mode where they can just play tanks, not be told to play something else.

Not a story, but a fact.
Useless vehicles are just that, useless.
Taking them won’t matter.
Threat doesn’t need to care regardless as they’re outranging your AA.

The fact you misinterpret what was said, shows you have no interest for engaement other than to shout me down.
It’s not my fault.
Nope… If you think there’s gaps in the SPAA counters, then suggest additions.
Just your interpretation, which is a jaded one at that.
Not useless at all, much the same as tanks aren’t helpless, but hapless.
If they can’t be left to select a target, or find a lesser target such as you to waste thier ammo on, then you’ve done the team a favor.
I’m not the one who doesn’t understand the context ;).
One day maybe You will understand that some people just want to play tanks not SPAA or Air

You’re the one trying to push the context, where the context doesn’t apply.
Then one day you’ll come to understand that the game isn’t about your demands or wants, and that conversation and discussion doesn’t just go one way.
Please describe based on the quote itself and comments before it why it doesn’t apply.
The game is about what players want, that is just a fact. Recently we have seen what happens to the games that doesn’t listen to players opinions ;)

The comment I made doesn’t have to apply in the context you wish it to be, factually it’s correct.
You don’t HAVE to spawn a tank first, you don’t HAVE to be vulnerable.
Indeed we have, yet they still keep coming back to this one because there are no alternatives.
All those times people were all crazy mad making out the game is dying, that the ‘alternative’ will kill the game, but yet, everyone is still here, and that alternative went to trash.
You point this out a lot, and almost dare Gaijin to try do something for you, but it’s just you…
No, it’s a fact.
Not being able to fire at, let alone kill something you’re supposed to be a counter to makes you literally useless.
They can select whatever target they want, as your SPAA can’t touch them. They’re free to shoot whoever they like.

You also have to die to spawn CAS.
What stupid argument is this.

Please read the discussion next time.
Tank on a battlefield can’t counter CAS and will have to firstly die to spawn SPAA, which is the point of this discussion.
Even the APHE yaks don’t care about SPAA except as potential targets. Only way an APHE yak ever gets shot down is if there’s like 2-3 SPAA shooting at it making it impossible to dodge, an SPAA and a fighter are shooting at it and the APHE yak decided to sit near enemy spawn the entire dogfight or the yak decides for some absurd reason to head-on the SPAA rather than kill all the other easier targets.
Like. I’m decent with planes. Average or below average with tanks. There’s certainly something to be said about the imbalance of CAS vs SPAA where I have successfully used the APHE yak to do last BP’s “Get 12 professional x5” streaks and not a tank.

But the comment that was made by @MotorolaCRO applies to what I have said.
Again, no one said that You can’t spawn SPAA as first vehicle.
Nice to hear Your opinion, facts are different.
Read the discussion before replying.
I read the discussion, doesn’t change the fact.
Obviously you have to die if you decide to not first spawn SPAA, which is on you.
Where is the problem if you die once, you go in with a lineup of multiple tanks, if you decide not to, it’s also on you.

Dying to something you couldn’t counter from the start is the problem.
You are funny dude. Comical. LOLOLOL
Dude, very few players start with spaa - since there are no air attacks right away.
Unless you have one of those “spaa” freaks like the tank-destroyer-in-disguise, the ZSU-57.
And of course the ZSU does NOT excel at shooting down jets.
Face it - CAS is a crutch and a legal cheat in a TANK battle-mode. If you can’t root out the “campers” with artillery or other tanks (like say… M109 with proximity ammo) then you or your team have your own issues.

Cool that there is no such thing, and it’s hardly a cheat… It’s just effective and able to be used so much that people get irrationally upset and hooked up on it being such a problem that they ignore it, and break-down when they get got by it.
