    The fact is : SPAA around this BR range is just next to useless, like yeah sometimes you down 3/4 planes with your 4x.50 cal truck, but most of the times, you're swarmed and gun runned before even managing a plane kill.

    One possible fix for that crit at the end is that the moment someone gets into a plane, some AI aircraft spawn as well and head to the battle space. This has a few effects:
    1. It gives CAS players something to think about when making an attack run
    2. It gives those who haven't gotten AG ordinance for their planes yet something they can kill and earn exp towards the AG weapons
    and 3. Gives food for the AAA players
    Speaking of AAA, a fix for them could come in the form of giving them lead calculations even in realistic. Planes are hard enough to hit as is, making life just a little easier for the AAA guys would go a ways. But I do agree that something should be done to make CAS both more challenging and more rewarding to earn

    • @foxboy64
      @foxboy64 9 місяців тому +4

      any enemy you scout, that gets killed, gives you an assist as if you had damaged them. AND lowers the spawn cost of all your planes by like 50sp each time. most tanks with scouting, already cost basically nothing, especially in an uptier. so you can reasonably get a plane by scouting like two-three enemies so long as they both are killed while the scout is active, without you ever firing a shot.

      They actually already are cheaper to spawn in. If you go in clean winged you could cut a few hundred SP of the total spawn cost vs taking a loud-out. And the more powerful load-outs cost more SP. Sometimes if you don't have enough SP for a full loud-out you just remove the extra ordnance or choose a weaker load-out and boom, you're in with a grin.

    The ppl saying he should "try" CAS and hope to make fun of his average air skills are missing the point, CAS is braindead easy. As long as you can hit space and pull up, you will be able to kill someone with minimal counterplay available to the tanker.

      _Nah._ As long as you play tanks with top mounted MGs you are equipped well enough to deal, and be on equal terms, with CAS _(according to some comments here)._

    I think calling it CAS is lending it too much dignity. It's not support. It's farming ground kills against players, often to the detriment of your own team (especially when some doofus in a Pe-8 decides he's going to Do The Funny).

    I love it when spookston is always like "oh yeah two kills is enough to spawn X" when literally i had games where a guy would just rush into cap after spawning, get like 20-30% of the capture pts, press J and spawn a plane after literally 3 min. Even had one game where a guy J'd out immedietly after spawning a tank to jump into a plane not even a minute after the game started. And i have that constantly almost every game theres already 4-6 planes up by the time the round reaches 5 min playtime. They really need to crank up the cas spawn cost man

      literally had a game where i was on the receiving end of one of those players. i was in a KV-1 or T-34 i don’t really remember, but i barely got to the middle of the map and right before i was gonna shoot at a Concept 3 i got killed by a Wyvern with a red angel rocket. i was so disappointed
