Why do CAS players so vocally oppose any suggestions

I swear to god you madafakers is not even trying anymore

Sounds like you were lucky people didn’t have HVARs.

HVAR sniping is annoying and somewhat simple after time. It is very hard for 95% of SPAAG at lower tiers to counter. The only ones I can think of currently are the Skink, Kugel, and Coelian. Other than that, I can’t really think of SPAAG that are invulnerable to an HVAR landing near them.

And don’t get me wrong, I like playing as SPAAG, just look at my player card. But that said, it isn’t easy, nor is it always ideal. Like in City maps, where you can’t fire beyond the tops of buildings (think Advance to the Rhine, or Sun City, or Alaska). Think maps like Sands of Sinai, where you either have to follow your teammates and risk getting killed by Tanks, or sit back and hope you can make those 1km+ Anti Air shots (very unlikely in anything without HE-VT).

Basically, on worst map for doing it ever
(take a tool for angle measurement, if you wanna verify,… )

I want you to actually do it in a combat situation, not show us your imagination 😜

I does that with my skink on un even ground, we have all done so but not with very good results

Good effort 😉

what i’ve been told:

And i’m giving solution, while also saying that:

the question was to have actual possibility to kill those guys - and it is possible with basic thinking,…
the guy said, that he just have to wait for his death - so he’s not even trying on doing that to save himself,… he prefer to wait and die,…

i give ideas,… anyway - nothing beats a SPAAG/SPAAM in doing that from the ground.

Again - this is not an easy thing to do,… but that’s still better than waiting to die if you know you’re being targeted,… you can at least try to shoot down incoming bomb with MG fire (using it as a CIWS or Phalanx)

With a skillfully placed artillery strike. Easy for any tank pro. ;)

Just kidding…you don’t

Appreciate the effort you put in, but its just not practical. 1 your MG will reveal your location and believe it or not, not enough to kill planes unless you have 50 cal. 2 very vulnerable showing your belly.And Tbh probably got more chance of survival by trying to find cover

i did that yesterday though :D

If planes cost same SP as tanks but ordinance costs was more realistic, im sure it would be worth while to spawn SPAA, even at start of match. I find SPAA boring unless there are planes to shoot down and tbh mostly happens against USA, even then they are not reliable.

Then only high scoring players could spawn bombers and they would need escorts

Realistic ordinance cost would make air superiority fighters very very expensive. Also SAMs.

No, air superiority fighter would cost the same as tanks. Poor players wont spam bombs and rockets. Then we can have a game with skill

But an IR guided missile is extremely expensive.

So dont spam them, But they are very accurate and there is also gun pods

I have killed many a Heli posting my tanks up in this manner. Always satisfying when a kill is made.

Not only that, but in WT communities outside (like Discord, prime example) it feels like there are people very young on it. I’m not against SOME internet timez and I’m not against them playing Video Games either. But I feel like at times it is a little much.
