Day 71 of asking Spookston to play the Sturer Emil

[@Gentlemannus]

Hey @Spookston, Could you try playing on EU servers? As someone from Hungary, after watching your videos and seeing all the dumb sh!t that happens I'vve thought I give the US servers a try, and I have been having a blast, with a lot better K/D than I had on EU servers, and I'm curious if you can also notice any difference!

Spookston slowly being forced to play air to cope with CAS is truly diabolical

[@zchris13]

he's really good at it too

[@lpflore]

​@@zchris13 that's because of the sheer amounts of spite he has towards CAS

[@evoluxman9935]

@@freddy67h A few days ago someone suggested on the forums to remove at least just the type of aircraft from ARB, just show a dot, and the ARB players were FUMING "bbbbbut I cant predict my engage in advance" yeah bruh thats how fights work lol. It was voted down 3 to 1 Meanwhile in GRB we don't even have a dot and its fun as hell (CAS is busted and far too OP, but CAP is super fun and should be kept as is, just make bombs and AP belts waaaaaaaaaaaay more expensive)

[@WiltingGardenOfHeathen]

​@@evoluxman9935without a doubt air rb without indicators would be far superior to current RB. It'd just be sim lite edition

[@xuruiyu]

The problem is that ARB sucks os hard, due to having the indicators showing like in AAB, and not having respawns, that 90% of people wanting to play ARB play ARB in GRB xD It's not helping that if you get a singie assist as a light tank you can keep spawning CAS for the rest of the game xd

[@freddy67h]

@evoluxman9935 nah CAS in GRB is fine up to 8.3, all of the complaining I've seen has just been skill issue/deciding to hate something because it they died to it. 70% of my enjoyment of GRB comes from either running CAP, spaa or flying CAS. Your changes would reduce all of that. Seriously, lmb to kill tank gets old after a while. Its nice to be able to mix it up.

[@lordhickory3322]

Another great anti-cas device is the VEAK 40. It got moved down to 7.7, and even without the proxy-rounds it previously had it is still very effective, seeing as it is a Radar SPAA at a BR where it will commonly face prop planes. It is very satisfying to use, and just folding planes in half with 40mm is as fun and enjoyable as few things in this game. You should definitely play it!

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

I'm still waiting for Gaijin to add the XP-54 Swoose Goose & it's cousin the XP-68 Tornado into the game.

[@benoitballs1436]

I want America to have more vehicles that are actual mass produced service vehicles and not prototypes that repeatedly failed 10+ years of trials. Rank IV is where it starts, there is literally one vehicle in USA rank IV ground that is a service vehicle that fights its contemporaries. Everything else is either prototypes or from a completely different era. Honestly amazing how many matches USA loses even though they have the most baby-proofed tech tree with these vehicles peppered in to "fill gaps" yet they still can't kill a T series tank from the 50s. They will sooner go whine-post about how the game has russian bias than learn their tanks. It's made even worse by all the idiots that consume US propaganda and think their vehicles should just win be default.
