And let's not talk about nations using 40 mm bofors as their main AAA gun, like sweden : it is SO pleasant to hit a plane's wing with 40 mm semi ap incendiary rounds and not doing more than "hit" ...

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.

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

Top tier CAS is great. I had multiple dudes just 1st spawn helicopter with spam rockets. Then they either flew back and re-armed with guided weapons or straight up spawned in a new chopper, with said guided missiles. After they died in this, they spawn in a jet. Playing ground RB without spawning once in a ground vehicle

yeah, the average cas player is too dumb to pick specific targets. yesterday I was farming intelligence awards in a pt-76 and in 3 separate games I got killed by US aircraft dropping 1000lb bombs on me when they could have just as easily killed me with machine gun fire and saved their payload for something useful.

4:20 yep, that's the 30mm MK 108. hard to use, incredibly sparky, but will kill almost anything that isn't a large bomber with 1-2 hits, depending on if those rounds actually do damage and don't spark.

@spookston, the issue with aircraft in ground rb is that with mouse there is zero wobble after making a correction in flight to line up the target. Only mouse gets this advantage and if mouse had the same wobble as all other control peripherals, it would overnight change the skill needed to kill tanks with aircraft guns. Even dive bombing would take more skill to use.

People always like to point out that the population isn’t large enough to support another mode where it is only ground vehicles. However, steamcharts currently says there is 58k players playing right now, and the in game population normally hovers closer to 70-100k players. So I don’t see why we can’t have a ground only mode

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!
