Why do CAS players so vocally oppose any suggestions

Radar lead is generally just useless, the lead indicator is only a rough guideline and you still don’t hit shit with it, and any plane low to the ground you’re just fighting the controls because it wasnt to aim below the ground.

Yeah, I’d be game for proper SEAD mechanics.

You gave 2 scenarios in one line. Don’t be dishonest and shifty.

You spawn it to even be a deterent, and to prevent them even getting close. If you don’t, then they will very much likely get closer and be more precise.

This is the role of a deterent, one which many cannot fathom.

I do feel that that buddy lasing suggestion, and this sort of ‘support’ role in the radar slave/passout, could lead to more dynamic squad-play and such.

Yeah, it could, I suppose minor concerns that it would give squads a notable power advantage. But it would be an epic mechanic to have.

I can just picture something like a Buc S2B lasing targets at high alt and then having a Tornado Gr1 fly in at 300ft and lofting a 2k paveway onto target. It would be epic to see.

Though I think this another example of mechanics not coming for air, due to concerns of how it will be used for Ground modes. Would be be great fun in ASB.

I’m primarily a fighter/spotter while I do bring a 250 kg bomb into GRB when I fly the Zeros. It isn’t my main focus. I’m mainly there to intercept and destroy players who are coming in for revenge bombing they are the ones who purposely come in and ram their plane or fly around to drop bombs on whoever but don’t know how actually to fly the aircraft. So its def annoying to be insulted when we state the gamemode as a tank only doesn’t work, or we put bubbles into the suggestions that are dumb such as the most common one “Remove planes out right” or “make planes stupidly expensive”.

Not worth the ammo cost in my book, sat there looking at the sky for no activity reward

see, there it is again.

a stupid jab at others just because they like something you don’t like. Its just not true or even relevant to the discussion, I may as well start arguing that people only drive tanks and hate CAS because they can’t fly planes. But that doesn’t help the discussion either.

why should I take anyone seriously whos argument is “they do it because they suck”? How is that going to help your point?

That’s exactly what I meant when I called them a “self-proclaimed elite”.

I could also join a CoD match, run around using my melee weapon only, call myself a “knifer”, describe CoD as a “knife game” and call anyone who uses an assault rifle a “blackpowder abuser”

I have noticed that they like to spam stat shaming. However, they havent done it to me. I guess my stats are too good for them to use it as a counter lol.

Very true. I dont recall a single match where I havent had to change my playstyle to better fit how the match is going.

CoD has a knife only mode and also has a zombie mode

I’ll be waiting. In nearly 10 years of having ground forces in this game I have never had an issue defending myself against aircraft regardless of rank and nation.
