LMAO, that is absolutely hilarious coming from a CAS hater.
Que dozens of 8.3 and 9.0 matches in SPAA back-to-back without a single enemy plane spawn, which pretty much everyone else can attest to.
Save your words and don’t try to argue with pangolin. It will not do good things to your sanity.
That person could have a boatload of facts fropped straight on them and still deny them. Better not waste your energy on them.

In GRB these planes are a menace. Other cannon birds just have solid pen ammo. But this Aphe thing is just too good at killing tanks. Yak9 also has a flight model which allows clean 90 deg shots from above into the turret. Other cannon planes can’t do that without crashing into the ground.

I also like that he proclaims skill issue but ignores offers to duel people with planes.

“boatload of facts”
Also known as “waahh waahh a plane killed me while I was out in the open CAS is so OP!!!”
The time honoured tradition of CAS mains. Just telling ground players to stick to the walls of buildings like spiderman so that their ebemies in the sky cannot see them even though tanks are way to easy to spot from above since they stick out even if next to buildings.

If there were no more hit and scout markers and the maps were of an actually reasonable size then maybe they’d get an argument.
Flying CAS for D-Day re-enactment was hard because you were searching some massive area (combination of the normandy town and the normandy fields map plus extra), only had cockpit view and no markers to notify you of where objectives were or scouting markers or hit markers.
It was still possible tho using teamwork (people shot smoke shell at enemy tanks, you looked for smoke and dive bombed that point) and of course muzzle flash.
A tank in the middle of the field wasn’t something you could notice either with ease until they fired too.
Imagine, given CAS mains proclaim such infinite skill - they’d welcome flying in the above conditions perhaps, wouldn’t they? We can surrender cockpit view I suppose because it takes a few weeks’ learning to adapt camera controls.

Number 3 certainly. It wasn’t much before APHE addition when they stealth buffed NS-45 recoil and accuracy from hell to heaven. In files the gun is split in two for single engine fighters and the rest, but now both have same stats.

Taken as you’re the one who keeps getting bombed, and we’re not, it seems to not be working pretty well.
Also keep in mind the upcomming spawn changes in GRB. You can just spawn one plane with strike ordnance or ground belt, the next spawn like this will be double SP.
YaK-9K however has this APHE nuker shell just in its default-for-free belt and in its ground belt. If they won’t remove the nukes from the default belt, Rus will be the only nation which might spawn 2x strike capable planes without SP doubling.
