Game suffers from the same crippling problem as war thunder

CAS
And there is very little you can do about it
A good CAS player can shut down your entire team for good

overall spam of bombs and arty is annoying. tanks too but much more rare due to dumb HE ricochets and easy ways to wipe them

Have you tried building an anti-aircraft gun? They’re quite good, especially since the latest buff

Not true at all. Cas does not win battles in this game. Also AA guns are really good now and can destroy any aircraft in just a few shots

I am good AA engineer… and CASes are either afraid of me or become my ez points :smiley:
P.S. one squad with 4-5 engineers controlled by a good player could wipe every plane for the entire game.

I am a decent pilot, but mostly fly a Stuka dive bomber. I get shot down about half or 2/3 the time after just one pass, but usually do to enemy fighter planes, not AA guns. I have been shot down by AA, but the vast majority of the time I will only take a few AA hits and continue on. Of course, I fly at tree top level and hug the ground and rivers on my way back to the ammo refill point, so I don’t know how much it helps. It helps some against a fighter plane, but not if the fighter pilot has any skills :rofl:.

Damn, same here, bro! I’m a decent fighter pilot too, and I’ve noticed that when you fly low at tree top level, it’s hard for enemies to spot you from a distance.

One tip though—try not to fire your guns while diving or strafing because the enemy can easily spot your tracers and figure out where you are. , if an enemy is right on your tail, don’t try to turn too much—you’ll make yourself an easier target.

CAS annihilates tanks without any chance to fight back - which is sad because those top mounted tank MGs actually did their job in the past.

AA guns are very good at the moment - heck I feel like I one hit kill planes too often, however the real issue isnt even damage - rather its range, because plane rockets can wipe a AA gun before AA can effectively shoot at a plane.

I dont know, AA vs Plane balance never feels good, well at least AA guns can do infantry support now.

I still believe AA tanks need to become a thing.

CAS is strong only against noob team without rally points. And those who are just too lazy to do anything but run around with assaulter squads. (It’s very easy to recognize them, they often think that KD ratio is the most important thing, lmao)
Otherwise CAS does not have much impact to the game in match against competent team with their own air support.

The vast majority of players who complain about so called “he spam” simply are not very good in Enlisted. And they’re trying to play enlisted like it is BF or CoD game.

Which makes it all the more strange to me. Why they’d rather not go play a those games in the first place?
No, they rather prefer to keep complaining here with intention to ruin the fun for people who on the other hand do know how to play Enlisted properly.

doesnt make sense because if the enemy team doesn’t have rally points, they spawn far from the objective. Most pilots aim their bombs near the objectives, so the impact of CAS would be limited against a team without proper spawn points

They’re actually the ones playing the objectives, unlike those who just camp in tanks. At least they’re pushing forward instead of sitting back.

agree

strongly disagree. If you’re referring to HVAR spam, it’s definitely not okay. Both US BR 4-5 planes have multiple HVAR rockets, which can target multiple locations simultaneously, resulting in multiple kills in one go. It’s an unbalanced mechanic that needs addressing.

Both Bf and CoD are fps games, just like Enlisted. The core gameplay is shooting, so what’s the big difference?

you already said they r trying to play like bf or cod, so they must have played bf or cod first :slightly_smiling_face:

where should we complain if things are unbalanced, for eg- difference btw japan and us planes

i dont get it how complaining will ruin fun of others?

how?

countermeasures:

  1. map parts that limit the effectiveness of planes (around 50% of enlisted maps)
  2. moving through save parts of the map as infantry making enemy planes obsolete
  3. letting enemy pilots overcommit by not giving them easy targets as tanks/bombers etc
  4. AA guns

point 4 is the only thing weak players think of, points 3&4 is what the few really good players use and what wins you the game 95% of the time if the enemies have 2 pilots in the air doing nothing.
2 ineffective pilots means they have only 8 infantry max, if you rush with 10 infantry you have a 25% manpower advantage.

the problem with planes in enlisted is very rarely imbalance, its imbecile players who only bum rush and dont think for a single second how to behave in war.
