There’s not very many. Camping/spawncamping are far larger reasons people leave Warthunder, and a TO mode would make it worse.
It would quickly fall to irrelevance. It wouldn’t get as many players, and the players it would get are only
going to pay a fraction of what normal players pay. The most popular prem packs are all CAS. TO would also come with its own set of balance issues (especially concerning camping and heavy tanks). It would require loads of money, time, and manpower to fix the maps, BRs, SP costs, and SPAAs. Gajin is already lazy and slow enough to fix the main modes, now their efforts would be split between the main modes and TO.
TL:DR TO would quickly fall to sh-t because it would require more effort to balance and make playable whilst making far less money.
the TO vote on the forums is very skewed. People who are fine with CAS would just continue playing, but people who want it changed come to the forums to complain. The poll included a “do you use CAS” poll, and the vast majority voted no. For every user complaining about CAS on the forums, there’s 5 more bombing them every match. The only way to get a proper vote would be an ingame vote that everyone sees.
APDS is trash in Warthunder. The M551 (76) is probably the worst example you coulda picked. Besides, I don’t want to be limited to playing FV4005 24/7 just do deal with soviet/german tanks. CAS is only a few planes per game and I just ignore it without issue 90% of the time. soviet/german heavy tanks plague every match and It makes many vehicles unplayable.
You’re obviously not bored enough to stop replying and leave the thing alone. You care as much as anyone else or you’d just … leave. Which is what most people do when they’re tired of something.
It’s truly been amusing to watch you so often claim how “bored and tired” of all this and everyone that you are and yet you just can’t stay away xD.
He can’t fathom that a tank with good speed and the ability to pen 300 mm of armour is a threat to a slow armoured sloth that has nothing going for it other than 200mm of amour which wasn’t any use after 1945.Seems like a clever guy lol
Tank only would suck because no one would play it, and because CAS has strategic value.
I want CAS to be rebalanced. It should cost more, or be more difficult to use. SPAA also needs to be buffed by increasing the rewards, and moving it down in BR. All nations also need more SPAA.
Have you never used APDS in your life? A heavy tank with nuke APHE is a far bigger threat than a slow light tank that reliably nonpens a Tiger 1 at 45 degree angle. Even if it does pen, its damage is pityful asf.
That’s what we call a skill issue bud. It was nice of you to outline it for us lol. If you can’t make a 300mm APDS pen, that’s a you problem. It’s not APCR, it has way better penetration angles. Not that’s it’s hard to make APCR pen either, just aim for the right stuff.
I will note I don’t play those low BR’s anymore but it really wasn’t a big deal when I did once I learned the game.
I watched it sail right through the front of my Jagdtiger from a considerable distance.Made the 200 mm of armour redundant that is for sure and in WW2 nearly nothing should do that. IS came in at 203mm pen or something at that time so tell me again about those impenetrable WW2 tanks that only CAS can kill in this game.
We are, you’re complaining about TO people, and then outlining why you have problems with a round that’s the best in class armor penetrator at its BR. I’m not really sure what to tell you. Hit the turret, hit the breech, ammo rack it. Idk how to have anymore of a serious conversation other than to say “shoot the right stuff” the round is certainly not the problem.
