i get them a lot, i Just don’t share them till now lol most are from DM.
I am a long time Air RB player. My CAS RB (that’s how this mode should be called) gameplay is basically “do anything, jump into a plane, kill enemy planes and lightly armored ground vehicles for the rest of the game”.
It’s extremely easy gameplay that requires no tank driving skill at all.
I find SPAAG annoying, but I don’t hate them. They are just grasping at their dream of this mode being “Ground RB”. The dream that is kinda beautiful, but absolutely false, as this mode is all about bombing tanks with nearly absolute impunity (excluding facing Pantsir, but I usually limit myself to WW2) or about killing enemy CAS with your own fighter. Tankers are there just to suffer and provide targets for the planes.

I’m not grasping it lol i make it happen and work 👀
EDIT: But yea, for the most part, too many have no idea how to play with SPAA thus become easy targets for CAS too.

I think if you were facing pilots with similar time invested in learning to aim at ground targets, you’d be a toast anyway.
Which means this mode is still CAS RB.
I’ve recently played 2 matches in Mosquito in Air RB. Ended the 2nd one with 5 kills. Is Mosquito any good for Air RB?
HELL NO.
But yeah, on your own, personal scale, this is kinda ground RB, only you’re busy shooting at planes anyway.
And not every nation has SPAA that is actually any good vs tonks.
i mean that is the Job of a SPAA…to mainly focus on air targets which there is a lot in mid tiers. Always something to do.
I guess, if I give myself away too early or if screw up. I ain’t gonna shoot my guns till the right time or until they tunnel vision to 1 target.
But that means you’re essentialy playing CAS RB.
The “fun” part of ground RB is tonk on tonk crime. You are not really participating.
A prime time to ask, why have you got such a negative angle towards this player who actually protects the team compared to being a blind teammate that you also judge…
ehhh Fun part for me is everything, the CAS, the SPAA, the tonk crime…i do all of that. I don’t always stay in SPAA lol But when i get on it, I will do the Job of a SPAA. That’s why a proper line up is necessary.
As of rn im just trying to spade the LAV-AD while only playing that thing and see if I can also get the XM975 SAM. By doing so, yes, im not 100% participating in a match and more of a selfish act. Then again its also because I don’t have a line up unlocked for 10.0 battles.
Getting stomped by 20mm AA in 50mm Me-262 is peak fail, not gonna lie. But it is what it is. Anyway, for me this mode is CAS RB, because when I’m playing aircraft, it feels so much easier. The fact I’m doing good in planes while I absolutely suck in SPAA (no planes, or I get roflstomped by quad Hispanos from insane distance) is a good indicator of how the mode is setup.
If you were facing a decent 50mm Me-262, you’d be getting hit from 1300m away.
Of course enough of skill disparity and almost any lack of balance can be “fixed”, but only for the select few.

Just be good in what You doing.
People flying air in GRB are just a little more special as they hate when things get a little to hard for them.

Pretty much this 🔝 its all there is to it
Even when I become an SPAA or CAP ace in just one spawn, I don’t get fanmail.
its probably because i play a lot of matches lol so im bound to meet a toxic player at some point more often

me262 is a regular target. And I shoot down a plane with a big gun first of all from 2-3 km. Because this plane is too dangerous for my team.
I see them a lot in my 6.7 to 7.3 line up for Japan when I main it and the Type 99 SPH or Type 75 SPH are the best 2 options for anti-air due to their HE(PF) rounds while also dealing with tanks. Same with all variants of the M109A1 SPH ever since they got their shell velocity fixed (buffed) which became easier to down aircrafts, I just dislike their long reload.
The rewards could really do with a boost I feel.
4 plane kills with SPAA (bosvark) gave me way less than 4 tank kills would’ve been in my centurion
? nope you become alot more money for a plane or copter kill than from a tank ! my little old gepard has somthing around 1200 ? airunits shot down. an earnt a lot of silverlions.
I like SPAA, personally. However, they usually can’t do much against tanks and are only useful when planes are up. They often can’t defend themselves against tanks either, if one shows up while you’re trying to avoid them. Also on top of that, somehow planes, the very thing they’re meant to destroy, can still outclass them and obliterate them with secondary ordinance or even kill them head-on. That doesn’t always happen, but it’s certainly an annoyance when it does.
