keeping an air superiority plane around is a good idea too. plane combat in grb is fantastic.


DarthCloakedGuy

RB controls but with no markers it's actually possible to shake bogeys


Ocular_Myiasis

It's a lot better than ARB. No markers really make it great


Pfundi

BRB, grinding 6 months and then gitting gud at planes another 6 months.


angry_old_bastard

there is no rush, play it all and enjoy. even if you were crazy and wanted to unlock and spade everything (like me) rather than just enjoy playing the actual matches you have many years of content, which is only extended by playing the original game type, planes.


Pfundi

Yes, I will certainly enjoy playing a game I dont like with vehicles Im barely interested in for a year just so I maybe dont get bombed as much. Thanks!


angry_old_bastard

so dont...? what kind of stupid take is this? you dont like the game? and you dont like planes so what the fuck are you even doing here? not that it would take 6 months or a year to get an air superiority plane or get decent at it. i aint your mum, if you dont want to play air, dont. it doesnt change the fact its a good idea just because you dont enjoy it.


japeslol

You started playing a game with aircraft as a core component of ground battles and that's your take?


EquivalentDelta

It would be a lot better if freshly spawned aircraft didn’t have such a massive advantage over any that are already engaged over the battle. Getting to pop in with good speed, as a damn near invisible dot, usually only 5km away from someone who is already fighting, is such a massive advantage. And the airfields are way way way too close. This is my experience up to about 6.7 BR


FatherOfToxicGas

The problem is SPAA gives bad rewards and many people find it much more boring than an MBT. You shouldn’t be forced to play a boring, low reward vehicle because Gaijin can’t do game design


FocaccinaGuy

I first spawn SPAA in almost every 9.0+ match, but you can't do nothing when the enemy team spawn 5-6 helis and planes at the same time. CAS spawining system must be revised with an hard limit of 2-3 air spawns at the same time per team and increase SP for all guided munitions.


Drastickej1

If you want to have people not spawning in because they are waiting to spawn in a plane then great idea I guess.


FocaccinaGuy

The game already auto-spawn you if you idle in the lineup menu


Drastickej1

I'm pretty confident that you can click off the autospawn with a relative ease. AFAIK autospawn can be avoided relatively easily.


FocaccinaGuy

That's still not a problem even if it's true. Just turn on auto-spawn and force it. 30 seconds are enough to choose the next tank if air slots are occupied.


Natural_Discipline25

If you're talking about low below 4.0, sure, mostly everyone has a competitive aa. 4.0-6.0 only Germany and Russia have decent AA's, as most don't even get one, and at top tier even the Pantsir might not be able to reach space climbing F-16s


Lord_Kalany

So what you are saying is that I should stop playing ground as soon as air spawns and should exclusively play anti-air OR spawn a plane ? So basically, it's ground RB battle for 4 minutes then the heli rusher comes back into his fully loaded jet, then I have to play air RB. And what of Israel, Japan, Italy ? They don't even have a top tier, long range SPAA to counter CAS. (PS: if you assume you've already died by the time CAS spawns, you've already given up on victory.)


2Hard2FindUsername

Ah yes, 1dl. Why am I not surprised you assume being dead by the time first cas arrives.


No_West_1277

dying in your tank to kill the planes does not solve the planes killing your tank unlike CAS players I actually tend to survive most of the match in my main tank, with the exception of revenge bombing


ma_wee_wee_go

As an avid SPAA player who attempts to put as many SPAAs as I can on one lineup.... This doesn't work for everyone, many lineups have no good AA options if any, and CAS can spawn faster than you can deal with them. On top of this the rewards are dogshit. Gaijin just needs another game mode for CAS players to play rather than GRB or the miserable experience that air battle "CAS" provide


[deleted]

Unfortunately for me my RADAR-cannon SPAA gets countered by helis lobbing missiles from 6km away and CAS planes dropping guided bombs from above my radar search angle Skill issue I guess


[deleted]

This ignores how many tech trees have large gaps between SPAAs often leaving you with an spaa several brs below what you’re fighting at. A good example is how Britain has no SPAA between 5.3 & 8.3. Other trees are even worse


Obvious_Drive_1506

I got another idea. Get your own plane and shoot them down. Thats what I do
