    This reminds me how much slower and less plane-filled early tank realistic battles were. If you died in your first tank without scoring any points, you were done for the game. Capping a point gave you enough points for spawning just another tank. Then getting to spawn a plane took more work.

    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

    I once noticed an enemy concept 3 without any kills or assists spawn a plane coz of the scout ability I guess, and managed to get 3-5 kills with planes, truly a great experience

    • @foxboy64
      @foxboy64 Před 10 měsíci +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.

    How to stop CAS: Make fighters w/ no bombs/rockets cheaper to spawn in, this makes it easier to achieve some sort of air supremacy without hurting tank gameplay so much.

      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.

    I remember back in 2019 when at top tier the best CAS was the f100 which was up against tunguskas. Nobody would ever spawn in CAS at that time. It was a fever dream

    spookston is the type of guy to play a light tank with aircraft up, drive in an open field and then complain when he gets strafed

    I agree cas can be very annoying and needs to be balanced, but I wouldn’t want to play a warthunder that didn’t have planes flying around. I think a game mode that somehow combined both air and ground battles with the larger sim maps would be awesome. It could focus fighters around the tanks allowing the fighter to get kills on incoming cas, giving a incentive to protect the tanks. While making cas more difficult. It could maybe encourage friendly cas to fly together and fighters to cover said cas. Idk maybe I’m crazy, great video!
