CAS Is Fair And Balanced

CAS planes in War Thunder are already incredibly strong and easy to spawn, but with the new update, the WT devs just added APHE to Soviet planes with 45mm cannons. This makes them even more broken, to an absurd degree.

5:48 that's because WT makes it so playing SPAAs is a punishment. No one plays is at the start of the match, only when it's the last thing they have in the line up

[@ADD1-zv1nt]

Because most of the SPAAs in the low tiers can't do absolutely nothing against tanks(except the ones with high caliber, maybe with a lucky side shot) and also most of low BR players do not spawn CAS until mid to late game when there are most likely swarm of planes in the air and SPAAs are basically overwhelmed Got a match at 5.0-5.3 BR where half(I counted at least 6-7 planes) of the enemy team had planes up, maybe more, you could not hear anything over the bombs exploding and plane engine sounds, SPAA were absolutely useless, you were lucky if you managed to destroy 1 plane, match was over in like 10min max

[@jiggythibs]

I always spawn SPAA as my second tank to destroy CAS before they ruin my team. As soon as I spawn, I rush near the biggest group from my team and hit the planes before or after their dive. They usually don't expect an SPAA in the middle of the map. Although, I only shot when the plane is nearby to remain stealthy.

[@swissfreek]

@@jiggythibs This is the way. Hanging back at spawn is not useful for the team unless you're getting curb stomped and the only targets the enemy CAS can find is at your spawn.

[@LtAlguien]

This is why I argue they should add spy and liaison aircraft to low tiers as equivalent of scout drones, it gives an extra incentive to SPAA

Watching some of your older vids and today's I was reminded of something. Back when I had friends to play WT we had 4 rules. 1) Never trust your teammates, they will always find a way to let you down, even friends in your squad 2) Never ask "how am I still alive", the snail will retaliate. 3) Don't question gaijin, questioning the snail gives bad luck. 4) Being mad about uptiers only brings more uptiers. Just try new (or really dumb) things when uptiered because it'll be more fun.

Uptiers aren't even bad. You get to spawn vehicles with less spawn points than usual. Positioning is king. As a WT player you must learn to hold that fire and not expose yourself when you know you have no chance to deal damage to the enemy, or exposing yourself might get you in trouble. I can't even count the times when I didn't instantly use a juicy sideshot because I knew that the person had one or two more tanks behind him that could pulverize me in retalliation if I had taken hose shots.

Not only does the 45 mm NS-45 now have APHE... But Gaijin has also subtly been buffing the its accuracy over time. 1 year ago you couldn't fire a 2 round burst because your second shot would aim for the moon even though you're looking at the ground. Now you can fire a 7 round burst and have almost all the rounds hit your target, even in something like the Yak-9K Together with the new APHE rounds, this makes the NS-45 a stupidly powerful for CAS.

0:30 yyyyyup This is medically referred to as "cycle of abuse" and is the reason why being a shitty parent often seems hereditary

[@nikolaylysenko8837]

Cycle of abuse does jot describe behaviour that some one who gets abuses starts abusing someone else. It describes the stages in abusive relationships that trap people in them -tension, incident, reconciliation, and calm-repeat themselves over and over again in abusive relationships that follow this pattern.

@@nikolaylysenko8837 Ah, you're right I'm sure there is also a term for what I described, but I don't know the name in English, I'm afraid

[@nikolaylysenko8837]

@@xuruiyu no worries, just wanted to nitpick sorry, it’s usually referred to as displaced aggression. You displace the act of aggression on you, by doing an act of aggression on someone else.

@@nikolaylysenko8837 Thank you again for helping me further educate myself, mate ^^ I'm currently a teacher and trust me, nitpicks can be incredibly helpful when presented in a calm and friendly way like you just have xD

The clip of the mosquito is hilarious to me since that was my dad playing, he said he was looking around on the free camera and by the time he noticed he was heading for the ground, it was beyond too late 😂😂

You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy the CAS not join them!

[@codenamewolf4224]

oh joy. gaijin back at it again with making a plane game with tanks to shoot at (make the pain stop.)

[@bryceaxford4377]

without fail I get a war thunder ad somewhere throughout spookston's videos and hardly ever get them on other videos

[@kaiotie1]

this just shows how much skill issue CAS users really have. so bad on the ground that they get one kill or a cap, then just refuse to play on the ground anymore because they know how bad they are. the true skill issue. its like going to a hotdog eating contest and bringing cocktail sausages cause they cant win any other way lol

[@ThatTrafficCone]

35th time asking Spookston to bring the Char 25T into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.

[@Willinator]

you either die a hero or live long enough to see your self become the CAS player

[@ColtonKizziah]

Speaking of which Idk how to use or get cas in ground realistic. Im br 3.3 and i hate not being able to use cas is it something that i need to unlock in the next br or am i just dumb

[@sponkbruh]

@@ColtonKizziahno u gotta bring ur own plane

Wow, really balanced Gaijin. Day 4 of asking spookston to play more South African tanks (specifically the ZA-35 and the Yestervark)

[@NX-aerospace-16]

14:32 imagine getting this at 3 am

[@icecoldcoal4084]

I'm happy spookston becoming a menace in warthunder

[@GoldRaven-oe4by]

You would think a game mode called "ground battles" we be dominated by tanks But no.

[@steelstallion75]

Finally, a Spookston plus wings video!

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Day Thirty nine of asking Spookston to play the Semovente da 105/25.

[@liladoodle]

You'll get there one day.

[@cybernetic_crocodile8462]

I second this, that SPG is great. Although its round should ahve more penetration, since according to account from Italian tests its AP shell could easly penetrate upper front plate of T-34.

[@Luna-hb4bi]

Spookston has infected me to the point where I say “interesting” to everything he days right as he says it, or similar things on my own, I love this mans content.
