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

You should play the Type 74 (any of them) attempt #3.

[@Volpeusz]

10:34 you did him dirty. so much. i bet myself would be so confused that even seeing this instanly i wouldnt do anything out of confusion

[@battlef1nder968]

My favorite way to play is the floor is lava. Heli rush (or use ballistic computer from range), get enough points for an attacker, then get enough points for a fighter. Ground vehicle is either AA or a light vehicle.

[@PzGsephy]

Normally I get miffed at how good you are at ground, but I don't think anyone can say you're bad at CAS nailing those canon shots. Those can be fucking hard sometimes. 👍

[@damaan1243]

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

[@IsNoJoke]

Had to stop the video and remember reach after 7:38

[@MrAcuta73]

Honestly....if you hate CAS, I have a few things for you! 1. Fly CAP (Combat Air Patrol)...yeah, take out a fighter, they are pretty cheap in GRB! 2. Provide AAA, AAA are ground vehicles. For those of you that 'IR pley tonks!!1!" 3. Don't camp obvious ridgelines and hills constantly. Hide in shadows/tree cover/smoke in lower tiers, use buildings/tree cover/smoke to your advantage in higher tiers. 4. GRB is a bad name (Gaijin's fault), it's a combined arms mode....or at least as far as WT provides combined arms. Would actually be interesting if they could include ships for bombardment. MIGHT even make me want to grind some naval? Nah... CAS really is "easy" as long as no one is countering it.....hard as F$%K if people are actively countering it....assuming they actually leave their spawn with AAA where everyone knows they will be.

[@goalieboyjoe]

You have shown more emotion getting kills In the grizzly then all your other videos combined.

[@bobbyG763]

I hate being destroyed by CAS even though half my set up is CAS

[@Ballistics_Computer]

Who compelled you to stock up on cas in the first place if not cas players themselves

[@sethkappaccilli9509]

Best way to fight Cas is with your own cas. Having dog fights is super fun tho in ground rb

[@Ballistics_Computer]

@sethkappaccilli9509 that'd be something, but I've had dogfights before but mostly they end with me getting nuked by cas before the fun even begins. It has to be all or nothing, and I'd prefer nothing in this case.

[@sethkappaccilli9509]

@Ballistics_Computer plains need to be balanced, they are important to the flow of the match but they shouldn't be getting most of the kills. Bombs need to be way more limited or have a lower skill floor somehow.

[@Ballistics_Computer]

@sethkappaccilli9509 I honestly don't think they're important to the match at all, most often they feel more like a stage hazard than a well integrated gameplay element.

[@The_Gabinator]

look how fair and balanced it is. incredibly enjoyable to fight against

[@darugdawg2453]

spawn a fighter

[@The_Gabinator]

@@darugdawg2453 If I wanted to play planes, I would play air RB. I play ground for the ground vehicles.

[@Fyreworx]

It makes me so happy to hear Spanian being added into more things. Hitting them with the old bush maneuver.

[@SilentButDudley]

I do like the depth CAS gives the game, but my lord they need to cost more to spawn, and remove scouting bonus. Vehicles with ground belts or bombs need to cost way more than regular fighters. CAS should be treated like a killstreak, not just another vehicle.

[@jrtrains7255]

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!

[@ricktherobot7014]

Since you hate CAS why don't you do a video on AA you can choose the type and br.

[@dawsonhorn5290]

The Reach Carter audio clip was perfect, thank you.

[@chasejohnson6453]

Aye man, thank you for getting me back into WT Your videos actually make me laugh and you got me some strategy going

Day 111 of asking spookston to play the american M60A3 TTS

[@robertkelly3167]

I would love to see him playing anti cas. So either in a fighter or aa stopping cas

[@Eminentharp]

at this point I'm waiting for him to just do a match of a lineup of only AA

[@gn0me420]

5:03 man that's straight up bullying, grandpa didn't stand a chance lmao

[@dphalanx7465]

Regarding VFW Overpressure---there is NO enclosure! It's a completely open vehicle. There's nothing to contain the potential Overpressure. On the other hand, the Flak Bus has an enclosed cockpit & engine space. *Or...a Gaijin Premium Conspiracy Theory; that works too.* 🤨🙄

[@ratel832]

Not even the abusive economy made me quit the game, it was CAS. Being killed by a player that you can't counter in any way is by far the most frustrating part of the game

[@bickboose9364]

But bro did you know you become invincible to CAS if you just spawn in SPAA? 🤓

[@SwindlerJeff]

WHAAAT!!?!?!!? YOU WANT TO PLAY TANKS IN A TANK GAME!?! SKILL ISSUE!!!1! SHOULD HAVE SIDECLIMBED!!11

war thunder is a plane game with tanks, nice try

Very balanced gameplay guys. Such riveting plays. Mains spacebar, absolutely astounding

[@ProbablyAEuropean]

CAS is so common, that I have found it more profitable to just pretend I'm playing Air RB and simply fly counter CAS

That KV- 1 that you 1 tapped was me Hellhoind1408. 😂😂😂 Nice shot and and you can pen a KV-1 through the upper vertical plate.
