Would you play a tank only mode? How do you feel about CAS in ground battles? [(POLL)]

Are you seriously comparing me being tired of getting endlessly bombed, with “sKiLl isSuE”? Lmao…

Dude i’ve been maining spaa for the last few months… Pretty sure i help my team more than most.

Also i do use cas too. Doesn’t change the fact i would much rather play a mode in which i could actually shoot at other tanks and not look at the sky 95% of the match.

12966 matches of a game you don’t think works… lmfao.

I get it though, I almost hit 40k and there is so much wrong with it I pretty much “play” PvE air only now to kill the WT urge.

Dude could you actually read my comments first?

I’M NOT TRYING TO SELL TANK ONLY TO GAIJIN.

You seriously aren’t worth the effort lmfao…

Have a good day bud.

You berated “air players”. Air can be used to kill air (more SL too which is wrong, should be better for ground). So yes, people avoiding air (and SPAA) are a detriment to their team, doesn’t have to be you bit you were the one name calling (general). A Tanker never uses air, as per TO advocacy rules.

And exactly, disliking current GFRB is a terrible bullet point to request a TO. TO is good for its own merits, not because players dislike air.

And yet you are 12k in and on the forums. So something doesn’t add up.

So now you do not want a TO… erm, that turned around quick! Between berating players ising air and now not wanting a TO your stance is crystal clear 🤣

Aka: you “lost” with your attempts to justify your position, fair enough.

Best of luck too o7

He is not the one scared of easy targets going away.

Quote me then.

There are more modes than just ground RB…

Never said that.

It didn’t.

Again quote me.

And again, i never said that.

Just because i don’t care anymore to sell mode to gaijin, when they clearly won’t even consider it, doesn’t mean i don’t want it myself.

No. It’s just ridiculous to “argue” with people who only know strawmen arguments.

You keep taking parts of my arguments and twisting them your own way, because that’s the only way you actually have a response for them.

Like i said. Not worth the effort.
Talking to trees on my yard would make a bigger difference…

Beautiful and friendly tone there 👍

Yes, you play quite a few matches of it however.

So you are just antagonising instead, gotcha.

My point still stands, comparing the two current modes in such a way as expressed originally is flawed. And since you now aren’t actually interested in the discussion of TO I do wonder why you got involved in such a discussion… you replied to me.

It is almost like that is exactly how you responded to me! Shocking. And all because you clearly did not understand what I was discussing.

Straight after the standard “CAS mains” “Your Precious mode” sensible posts too.

Again, lovelly tone but now to insults. Because of course the personal attack comments are flowing 👍

I won’t be trolled into a flame war, thanks.

So it went from “berating air players” to “your comments had a bad tone”… Just lol.

Not nearly as much as air RB for the past few years.

No. I’m having an conversation in a forum based on the game i play.

Again. Just because i’m not constantly trying to persuade gaijin to add a mode they’ve multiple times rejected, doesn’t mean i can’t talk about it.

That’s your opinion.

Many people don’t think so, because counting AI as “ground elements in AIR mode” doesn’t make sense. In my opinion obviously.

It is not. You are trying to say that air RB isn’t purely AIR vs AIR, because there is “ground aspects” AKA targets you need to shoot on the ground. I said i disagree with that.

That is not an strawman argument.

Would TO have “air aspects” if there was those weather balloons on the sky that spaa got points from by shooting them?

Clearly i understood what you tried to say.

You just didn’t like that i agreed, so you started to move the goalposts…
Why should GRB get broken OP AI, when ARB AI is just free kills with the rare gepard onetaps?
They are super simple to evade too, as you can just fly around the AI spaa clearly marked on the map.

Bruh…

Is a fact.

Also…

I can do this too.

Well i’m sorry if my “tone” hurt you, but i never insulted you.

Again, a CAS-enabled mode would exist along side a Tank Battles mode. We’re not removing CAS…

People leaving a mode they find less fun for a mode they find more fun means they pay MORE not less. Because… they’re having more fun, that’s what you pay video game studios for… Not rocket science.

Well giving by the Title,… you’re sure that your poll is going to agree with you,…

I just wanna remember all of you, that:

  • Game without CAS system exists outside of WT, or into custom battles
  • CAS always have been nerfed severly since the beginning of ground force in 2015 (and i play since 2013)
  • CAS would be less efficient if people stopped leaving and used their SPAAG/SPAAM instead

And finally:

  • CAS is a Game specificity making it different from other games on the market, therefore Gaijin will never stop having CAS in their game

You can cry, you can play or leave, you can say it is a bit imbalanced “maybe”,… but you all never will have it deleted from the gamemode, nor you’ll recieve a gamemode without it.

This subject came back 50 times in Q&A sessions, 2537 times been answered negatively by both Forum and DEV staff,…

if it’s not clear yet for you all → you’ll have more chance to win the lottery than having it removed/having new gamemode without it

With recent additions like Strike drones and dedicated CAS aircraft like the Su-39 coming into the game. This is all but confirmed to be the case by the devs by these actions.

There are adjustments that could be made. but I agree completely though that CAS shouldnt go anywhere

There’s some pros and cons that need to be considered, with the cons often being ignored.

Ground Only

Pros - No need to worry about aircraft, revenge bombing eliminated, tanks move freely in exposed areas.

Cons - Most SPAA lose all purpose, Strike Aircraft and equivalents lose relevancy, hard to kill/strong tanks will become harder to eliminate.

Two Ground Modes

Pros: Players can choose what gameplay style they desire.

Cons: A further split of players will occur, increased wait times, smaller lobbies.

Aircraft have been constantly hammered by SP increases. I feel like what makes aircraft much more powerful are mouse aim and great visibility below them. It is quite apparent how vulnerable aircraft are in Sim in comparison to AB/RB, so if a new mechanic is not implemented that overhauls the current system, an easier to implement change would be something like forced cockpit view. If we continue raising SP it will get to the point that players will fly significantly less and SPAAs won’t have much use outside of the occasional plane. It is quite a give and take with no easy solution.

Im of the opinion that there is nothing wrong with planes, other than needing some SP adjustments for CAP aircraft (Pure A2A with no A2G)

The only major change needed with CAS, is to put helis on par with jets withwise to SP cost. After that, they just need to get their asses in gear and add better SPAA for all nations, at the moment the only nations with viable top tier SPAA is Soviets and China. Everyone else is a little weak at the moment.

I think you forgot the last option on your poll, as did five other people apparently 🤔😉

And do not forget planes kill planes, not just SPAA. And you seem to get rewarded for it a lot more than if a ground vehicle took out the enemy aircraft.

Trolls are not in this discussion.
At most, people are just sharing passionate perspectives.

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.

Grow up…

You dismissed anothers post because you forgot this is a wider ranging poll. I am sorry you are unable to see this error and try to see that as a troll.

If you want to talk ONLY about the TO option then go to the other thread. You made this about multiple options and JUMP on people for mentioning “removing planes” when it us one of YOUR options.

For all the stupid trolling against me on this thread you have the nerve to again falsely accuse me of trolling because I pointed out what you overlooked.

Come back after you remove that chip on your shoulder. After our last exchange I thought you could be reasonable, so it is up to you.

Stop false flagging when you cannot argue your silly opinions.-

He has an issue for some reason is all.

Check the comments related to the attack of “troll”.

-Stop false flagging when you cannot argue your silly opinions.-

About what? You just jumped on me for nothing you bigot.

Take a step back, read the comments, see that my reply is not some “gotcha” but just realising a mistake was made (light hearted emojis anyone?). That is all, not everything is an argument?
