How about this? make spawn zone completely immune to attacks. then it would be easier for someone to come in a SPAA, stay there for permanent immunity and ammo refills and could afford to shoot non stop 'till they kill the planes. in my experience, the short invulnerability period isn’t enough for that and most of the time, especially around BR 7-8-9, you need to shoot a lot to even hit ONE jet bomber / fighter with those kugelblitz and such. right now (i currently play BR 8.0), even if i spawn in an AA and there’s ONE jet, i can’t do much: they’re too fast and sent a lot of missiles / bulets my way from far away, while being very maneuvrable.
people generally only come here to complain. most players (millions) never enter thje forums once
I ain’t the most observant player, but I can see people on the ground fairly easily unless they’re near a tree or building. People really do discount the benefits of trees & buildings.
You don’t need to even spot anyone to be a fairly successful CAS main.
-
Go bomb the location of the guy who just killed you, who you don’t have to spot, because a literal wizard that canonically lives in the War Thunder universe cast a scrying spell to reveal the location of the enemy to you in your dreams before you took off from the runway. Because War Thunder is actually a subsidiary of Dungeons and Dragons, little known fact.
-
Then go drop whatever you have left on the enemy spawns of known location (also pretty much a magical spell that your enemies are compelled to move through one choke point that was foretold to you before the battle, without any choice in the mater)
You can do all of this ultra fast since you aren’t even looking for targets, so you also generally don’t get shot back at significantly yet until you’re done already.

We should unironically expand on this lore, because it sounds sick af.
The kill cam stirs and will not let me sleep. I dreamt I saw a BT-7 with a “did you angle today?” decal ammo-racking an AMX 30, aye. I dreamt of a Jagdtiger without an engine deck MG42, waiting on a bridge that swayed and swung. On its hull perched a joyous gnome with a Christmas hat on his head. I dreamt of a roaring river and a P-47 that was a fish. Dead it drifted, with a full HVAP belt unloaded into its airframe, but when its bombs did drop anyway, oh, I woke from terror. All this I dreamt, and more.
I dreamt a Falcon howling in the rain, but no one heard its grief. I dreamt such a clangor I thought my head might burst, Soviet engines and machine guns and arty and smoke grenades, but the saddest sound was WE ARE WOSING. I dreamt of a Maus in full uptier that’s just fired its coax to bait you out of cover. And later I dreamt that Maus again, somehow dying to a FAB 100.
But I see a shadow, one most of all. A tall and twisted snail with one black eye and ten long arms, sailing on a sea of blood.

Most players that kill me tend to be skilled in general, so they rarely actually stay in the same place.

Are you suggesting it’s a good thing that one of the “skills” you need in a video game about WWII tanks is “Being sure to not let the literal magical spells tracking your location from the aether get a good spiritual lock on your soul energy”?

When you approach the airspace above the B cap, you will meet a spectral wolf who will pose to you three riddles. Answer boldly and without hesitation, for the spectral wolf knows only of fear. He will guide you to your quarry once worthy (developer’s update: for balance reasons and player complaints, we have made the answers to all riddles “any randomly mashed 3 or more keyboard characters”)

There will come a time, after a long S.U.M.M.E.R., when the sales bleed, and the cold breath of power creep falls heavy on all BRs.
I hope a change happens fast, because atm it is unplayable with the german faction at 11,7 BR.
F15 lobs a paveway and relaxes an swerves a bit (not even gonna start with KA-52 which chills 15km away) , while your missle bops up and down even if you do only subtle corrections. I have no chance to hit a mach 1 jet flying low (since you only see him for a second)
If a Ka-52 chills at 15km he can’t reach you.
**LISTEN the Userbase of the game:
41% - There should be a “Combined Arms” mode with CAS (similar to Ground Battles now) **
and a “Tank Battles” mode without CAS or other aircraft
So simple and perfect solution for everyone but gaijin…**
Here we go again
If gaijin decide to just trying the Tank Only Game Mode (RGB) for a couple of months then
we ll see how many players participate at each mode… (Combined with Cas or Tank Only without any CAS)
If they add a tank only mode, I will only play this mode forever. I don’t like playing planes and ships at all.

I understand the purpose of the system called CAS, I think it is diversity.
But,
It’s only been 15 seconds since the match started and I still don’t understand how the player could come by plane.
“I guess my understanding capacity is low” (maybe people in the forum will use this to me, no problem)
Trying to hit the helicopter that fired rockets at me from 3km, from a distance of 1km, maybe a little more, with a tank gun or a mechanized gun,
What should I think about the gaijin that passes over me in 1 second at 1 knots and waits for me to shoot it with a machine gun with a rotation speed of 3 seconds?
I cannot write what I think because they explained very well that they are not open to criticism.
Of course, one of the purposes of this game is to make money for the game, I understand this with what I wrote above, let me do it and the rest is the player’s problem.
Then I write again, having CAS in tank mode is nonsense, because when you design it, you don’t give me anything to defend myself with the tank.
These types of games require serious reflexes and skills, and players want to prove themselves.
CAS, on the other hand, undermines this and fills it with players who do not have any skills, and the game turns from a tank war into something I cannot name.

Exageration makes your entire premise and argument entirely dismissable.

Cas was fine when we have WW2/early cold war stuff.
When missiles came and guided bombs + idiotic strike drones - all this is way to overpowered vs ground and never were touched or try balance properly. Just adding new stuff and a bit bomb nerf is not enough.
