there is tanks with no MGS or ways to kill planes so why not a game mode with no planes ?

Because this is a team game. You don’t need to be able to counter everything in your vehicle. That is just how combat works. You work with and rely on those who can deal with the plane, be it in an SPAA, be it an IFV, or just a tank with a roof mounted MG. And god forbid that plane takes you out - you’re now given the opportunity and right to spawn SPAA to get your damn revenge.

but the problem with team games is most the time you cant rely on your team

I always play solo in this game and I know this all to well, so I’m the guy often jumping in the support vehicle to help when and where possible. It’s still a team game no matter if that team makes you want to uninstall the game most of the time.

I would rather have Gaijin try and balance CAS/SPAA better, than just making many vehicles obsolete, and making camping worse.

we need more like you it stinks getting bombed when you have 2 fighters in the air strafing ground targets rather than attacking the bombers

Yeah, well top-tier is a whole other story. I never said you should be bothering with that mess. Balance of power is very much in CAS’s favour at top-tier and I’m not sure why so many people even bother playing at that BR. Give me 8.3-9.3 over it any day of the week and Sunday.
well im playing int 8.3 to 9.7 Rn with my Strv 103 and my CV 903 and still i cant deal with planes and i really dont care about “team play” cuz no one at this BR use AAs agains planes and helis cuz thew are better tank killers

That BR range is where plenty of people are in SPAA (Gepard, Falcon, ZA-35, etc). SPG with HE-VT. IFV with autocannons (such as BMP2). Heck, one of the best vehicles for Sweden is the ltPsV Leopard. Sweden has very little to worry about from CAS at those BR. At that BR, people play SPAA as first spawn because they double as tank killers, so there is never a shortage of SPAA if people just used their heads.
yet still cheap die to a plane and be force to reseach and buy an bad AA…
So you’ve neglected the AA/support side of the tree? That’s on you, buddy. Sweden has the advantage that plenty of its SPAA make good tank killers at their BR. No excuse not to be fielding it.

go play 9.3-10.3 and enjoy op SPAA, and find your team giving 11kills to a su22 for no reason

Game doesn’t guarantee your teammates will have the means to deal with air threats, as basically everything is optional. This defeats the idea of team game in my opinion.
Same people wanting a tank only mode, will be the same ones complaining when the enemy team with a squad with 4x Maus stomps their team.
Maus’ appeal is long gone.
Nowadays they can be OHK’d by 6.3 SPHs while also getting bullied by all the HEAT at around 7.7.
It’s clear that game gives us more than enough ground options to deal with such an armored vehicle, there’s literally no need for CAS.

I disagree about CAS.
At least in ground RB, bombers can actually have some value and impact, dogfights can occur with no markers, and it’s the only thing that keeps me playing War Thunder. Again I don’t play beyond 9.3 as I find SPAAs vs CAS still have a decent chance below that BR.
Air RB is just lame, so to get my flying fix, it’s ground RB for me.
True. Ground rb lets the aim9m be a huge threat that is cant be in air rb due to markers.
