The Ultimate CAS Destroyer

If you hate CAS you're a real one Should have a challenge video coming out Friday or Sunday

[@danielfield2570]

I too hate CAS , this video is therapeutic.

[@FatherGrigori]

Play ground rb Look inside Planes

[@B.a.k.e.d.b.e.a.n.s.]

I have one thing to add to this if you are playing a fighter and are flying over the ground and are just doing fly byes it is a lot of fun

HI SPOOKSTON 😎

[@-Hari-03]

i hate CAS but i also love to CAS. i also feel like i need a shower after tho so maybe im redeemable

[@GuardsmanGary_Ch]

I want to live in the Spookston universe where "planes tend to avoid SPAA". I think getting CAS'd makes up 90% of all my deaths in SPAA, not getting shot by other tanks.

[@lemanael8199]

Yeah the same happened to me but i learned that you need to play sneaky as spaa against planes you shoot less planes but you kill more of them

[@luthfihar3211]

@@lemanael8199 the theory is to hide whenever you can't shoot at them like you shouldn't search for planes in plain open grounds and instead stay near other objects like sheds, hills, or houses so planes either don't go for you first or have to do a fly by to search for you, either way enough time to spot and line up shots that would actually kill planes rather than just pepper them

[@madensmith7014]

Shooting something and not hitting paints a huge target on you, especially with 2 or 3 planes in the air where the others can come from the other direction and strafe you. Not shooting gives roaming CAS that doubt that you might be looking at them and are just waiting for them to come for an easy hit. Different story for missile AA.

[@theghostinthemachine]

I am an SPAA main, and sadly it is true. Thus I am a carrot-top with bushes only on-top.

[@parmesan6133]

@@luthfihar3211 exactly this. i like to play fighters in GRB and hunt CAS, but as soon as there's no more enemies in the sky i'll start to look down in open fields near the enemy spawn. almost a garuanteed 2-3 kills on spaa that are just sitting there that i would definitely not get if they hid somewhere since im as blind as a german main

[@ZeroKey92]

I liked the Type 75 but I absolutely adore the Type 99. I've had so many absolutely insane carries with that thing. Especially since it gets L15A2 with nearly 15Kg of TNT equivalent. Not that puny OE F3 of the VIDAR with only 9Kg. The suspension dampening is really good and in combination with the fast gun elevation the gun feels like it has a stabilizer. Combined with it's decent mobility it's probably the best artillery vehicle in the game.

although it isn't a CAS killer, the venerable M3 GMC surely does pack a punch and allows you to delete things from existence. It behooves you to play such a great gremlin-esque vehicle (please sir pleeeease play the M3 GMC)

When a self-propelled artillery vehicle performs better than every SPAA player in my team

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

I mean Gajin does give all the AA proximity rounds. You know, the vehicles that are meant to fire shells at ground targets from long range. Which for gameplay purposes isn't a bad thing as most AA sucks between these tiers. (Except for Russia and Germany's. Imagine that)

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

@robertharris6092 I think you mean Wirbel. Though even before the Skink (Which would also be nice in the American tree.) But Skink aside, alot of the British AA is really good. There countries like France and the US that have no mid tier AA. For France they have no early tier AA now that is effective.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

@robertharris6092 The French tractor actually gets 14.5s a slightly larger round. Though a severely reduced ammo and turret speed. The Gepard is better as a TD apparently. Considering how most people use it. Japan you'd think would have more Anti-Air being an island nation and kind of needing something to be located around the island. Or at least something lend lease in the cold War. Then a lot of countries just have mid tier gaps. Except for one, Russia. Pretty much all of its Br gaps are full in some way. Even if they aren't good.

[@jintsuubest9331]

@@aiedenoldstien9751 About Japan not having large amount of spaa, it is about money. Back then it is because the pacifist political climate. Now days, it is how you pay for everything. Anyways, they still maintain at about 400 counts of shorad missile launcher of various kind, half and half split between sp and towed. Retired all of their towed gun system, and maintain roughtly 50 count of sp gun system. Then they have roughly 30 count of domestic long range aa system, roughly 12 count of patriot, 30 plus count of serviceable destroyer (8 count of agies capable vessel), and 2 counts of "helicopter destroyer". Oh, lastly, 250 counts of combat aircraft. Not to mention the 2 US carrier group thats more or less permanently there. And protection net provided by South Korea, which has some truely insanely level of equipment. While it does not look like the front line of Ukraine, it is not exactly an easy target.

I don't play warthunder, I'm not even really a *tank* person per say, but between the memes the commentary and the gameplay I cannot stop watching these.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

There was an F9F Panther that in 1950 was fitted with the experimental Emerson turret, which housed four .50 cal. machine guns replacing the forward nose. I wish that would be in the game.

[@liladoodle]

Something Gaijin would add as part of the battle pass, or just a straight-up premium.

[@Fulcrum205]

The regular Panther had 4x20mm. I'm not really seeing the utility of replacing those with 4x.50. As an aside the Soviets built 23mm gun pods (SPU series) that could depress for strafing ground targets.

[@liladoodle]

​@@Fulcrum205The gimmick with the Emmerson Turret was that it had notches made so that it could make those four .50 cals. elevate to 90 degrees up or down. Plus, the turret itself could also rotate. So it could theoretically shoot at an aircraft that was off to either it's left or right.

[@kicks880]

I play WT sometimes while listening to your videos and I killed a T-34 zooming across the other end of the map right when the sound effect and 10:43 played.

"Best AA properties" G6 - Am I a joke to you?

It's so frustrating especially when you get into a head-on in planes and do stupid amount of damage to the other guy but they barely scratched your wings - then they crashed into you.... so Gaijin just says "well the other guy kills you, but you didn't kill him. He just... crashed" smh.

[@AJ.Arciniega]

I started playing as an air main and recently got into tanks. I usually play my own little game of air rb playing CAP and the CAS players get super mad because “just let me get the easy ground kills” or something. I enjoy watching the panic set in on a cas player who thinks they’re pretty decent at planes once I reverse then from a merge before they have time to think or drag them into a rolling scissor, and even when I reverse energy trap them and they compress into the ground.

[@DiamondBaron]

This was immensely satisfying, and very enjoyable.

[@logicalhazarda]

The proxy sometimes triggers at the edge of the explosive range. I have no idea what causes it but basically it means the plane is only clipped by the explosion Also at 10:00 yes it would have, American heavies go down super easy with the type 99. In fact I don't know if you're making the cupola shots just for fun but turret face shots kill everything but the IS series

M26e5 isnt easy to kill by the cuppola, is easier aiming to the cheeks. I've done the 292 event playing with type 16 and type 99, had bad moments trying to kill it by the cuppola

[@M5YUILL]

One of my first attempts at using the SPG as AA was in Poland in the Russian Howitzer. 5km hit on a F8F from the southern spawn hill. If they at 1000m you lead about a 6in ahead an about 3500m mark

[@Indirectlyfiring]

Grinding japan just for this. also cool video

[@simethigsomethingidfk]

The issue with using artillery as bootleg AA is well you dont have full elevation. So if the cas player has a functional brain they will just dive on you from directly above and then you instantly die unable to do anything. I also have literally never been shot down by people using artillery like this, maybe because if you have anything beyond a surface level knowledge of how to stay alive you wont fly in straight lines directly towards the battle field, and that is the only time the slow fire rate and slow velocity of artillery will actually work.
