Fun fact : in top-tier you can immediately spawn in a rocket heli, and from the points you earn get in a plane, wich essentially means you can play ground RB without getting in a tank
this can be done in any helicopter, it is harder to do for nations like Italy and Japan, who get shit helicopters until top tier (of course, thats not saying much, Italy only has 3).
Although rocket helis at that tier is effectively suicide, You have to get up close and personal with the enemy, and even your approach is just a big risk, no matter which side you come from. You're actually better off being a tank than a rocket heli in that regard lol
@@aiedenoldstien9751 idk which aa gun you use, but 99% of the time I use an aa gun (I'm a German/Italian main) I end up with 3 to 4 plane kills with little to no effort (mainly cos US and russian cas players are braindead). The wirbelwind 1 taps most planes (if I'm using the correct belt) and even if I'm using the ap belt, the rate of fire is soo good that the plane just gets vaporised. Same with the r3t20. Most ppl play that as an anti tank but it's sooo good against planes. Its muzzle velocity and rate of fire shreds planes. Going a bit higher in tier, both the weasel and kugel 1 shot planes (if im using the aa belt) If couse you won't 1 shot a plane if you are using the ap belts
There should at least be a cap on the amount of planes spawned in at a time. Too many times i see a team lose because 5 of their remaining 6 are in the air.
He was downed by another aircraft so as much of an point as you think that is it isn’t; the best anti air you can do at lower BR’s is just be in an aircraft yourself which at that point you’re just playing air RB and not ground RB
@@TheBananamonger they really do not have unlimited fuel, it's just that they can land to rearm, repair and refill lol. And also most of CAS planes can stay up in the air WAYY longer than the duration of a ground RB match (fr, Planes can fly for hours in this game)
There legitimately just needs to be a limit on how many planes can be up per team at one time. CAS is only ever a problem when it's spammed. Other than that there are a select few vehicles that are actually problematic and they're believe it or not, Russian. Who would've thought.
@@marsdriver2501the solution isn't lowering the fighter cost. It's increasing the CAS cost. It's ridiculously cheap rn to spawn. My idea would be 600 sp for all fighters and 800 sp for all CAS, and ground belts and ordenance adds an additional cost to the sp value. Specially if it has alot of bombs
Damn, I rarely comment, but I got to do it this time : Thank you for playing CAS at ~3.5-6.0 BR ! Every time the discussion devolves into "but, you can missile them, just spawn SPAA durr durr"... The fact is : SPAA around this BR range is just next to useless, like yeah sometimes you down 3/4 planes with your 4x.50 cal truck, but most of the times, you're swarmed and gun runned before even managing a plane kill. And let's not talk about nations using 40 mm bofors as their main AAA gun, like sweden : it is SO pleasant to hit a plane's wing with 40 mm semi ap incendiary rounds and not doing more than "hit" ...
oh please komrad, did you not know all fighters are armored against 40mm rounds? yes yes yes!! 40mm rounds with 60mm of penetration only ding off of enemy fighters... but like. seriously. 40mm should be ripping planes apart
This reminds me how much slower and less plane-filled early tank realistic battles were. If you died in your first tank without scoring any points, you were done for the game. Capping a point gave you enough points for spawning just another tank. Then getting to spawn a plane took more work.
@@applepie1911e I was talking about how it was in ground battles at the time Spawn Points (SP) were just introduced. I remembered just having enough points for one tank and maybe an spaa when not having earned any points before getting killed.
@@SpookstonI think that's mostly because you have a lot of experience, which means that you have a upper hand against the average player. So in that matter CAS comes to balance, since just a few good players vs a team full of average ones can result in the experienced ones crushing the enemy withing the first 5 minutes of the match

This video is cherry-picked, Cas is not that easy in game, the average player won't be getting 2-3 kills per death and if you spawn a fighter without bombs it will completely render a plane with bombs useless
@@SHEEPS_123As CAS though you can easily get 1-3 kills depending on how many bombs you have. Even if enemy planes are up there is enough time to get 1 free easy kill. Literally all you have to do is dive on someone and click space. Planes with AP belts are also good for harassing lighter vehicles.
@@kasoy5239yeah no, its completely dependent on the enemy team skill, im a pretty good pilot but if an good spaa is up you cant do anything. Which is a good thing
@@SHEEPS_123 pretty sure that means most CAS users are kamikaze plebs, how many times i saw what i though would be reinforcement for me to clear the sky Only to have them bloody kissing the ground
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
TU-1's a good choice for a 1st CAS plane to try. It's also one hell of a moneymaker in Air RB. Love that thing. Sadly you're just as innacurate as I am lmao
The ppl saying he should "try" CAS and hope to make fun of his average air skills are missing the point, CAS is braindead easy. As long as you can hit space and pull up, you will be able to kill someone with minimal counterplay available to the tanker.
_Nah._ As long as you play tanks with top mounted MGs you are equipped well enough to deal, and be on equal terms, with CAS _(according to some comments here)._
If he takes away one thing from this, I hope it’s that he is not being intentionally targeted. When cas goes for him, it’s because they saw him, that’s it most of the time.
yeah, the average cas player is too dumb to pick specific targets. yesterday I was farming intelligence awards in a pt-76 and in 3 separate games I got killed by US aircraft dropping 1000lb bombs on me when they could have just as easily killed me with machine gun fire and saved their payload for something useful.
Top tier CAS is great. I had multiple dudes just 1st spawn helicopter with spam rockets. Then they either flew back and re-armed with guided weapons or straight up spawned in a new chopper, with said guided missiles. After they died in this, they spawn in a jet. Playing ground RB without spawning once in a ground vehicle
I once noticed an enemy concept 3 without any kills or assists spawn a plane coz of the scout ability I guess, and managed to get 3-5 kills with planes, truly a great experience
any enemy you scout, that gets killed, gives you an assist as if you had damaged them. AND lowers the spawn cost of all your planes by like 50sp each time. most tanks with scouting, already cost basically nothing, especially in an uptier. so you can reasonably get a plane by scouting like two-three enemies so long as they both are killed while the scout is active, without you ever firing a shot.
day 4 telling you to play with the Italian P40, a tank that does not stand out for its mobility, but has good armor for its BR, good video and how great that you play with planes now!
@@diegodaza4140 that's not because of good armour, that's because most people at 3.3 don't know where to aim especially against a nation that not many people play like Italy
@@daskollektiv4593 and that makes it a challenge, that it is a little known tank, spookston is dedicated to using and playing with tanks of this type, to see how broken or bad they are, After all, he has played with worse things than an Italian 3.3 tank.
I like the idea of planes in realistic or just add a no plane mode for people who don’t wanna deal with it is an easy thing to fix reduce how much scouting makes planes cheaper and increase the SP needed to spawn one as a heavy tank enjoyer I remember the days you could get in a plane by just eating shells
People always like to point out that the population isn’t large enough to support another mode where it is only ground vehicles. However, steamcharts currently says there is 58k players playing right now, and the in game population normally hovers closer to 70-100k players. So I don’t see why we can’t have a ground only mode
I think calling it CAS is lending it too much dignity. It's not support. It's farming ground kills against players, often to the detriment of your own team (especially when some doofus in a Pe-8 decides he's going to Do The Funny).
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.
3:29 "Surprised that didn't kill him, but he's pretty messed up now." Damn Sporkston, you didn't have to give him the ol' public high school therapist treatment.
yeah this. it can be very hard to actually find targets sometimes, not too bad in prop planes, but as soon as you get to jets it's nearly impossible to spot targets and stay alive.
@@jonse5a Slightly weave or drop countermeasures At top tier your only threat is kinetic AA and nobody is playing that seriously since it's top tier AA, an arse to grind to effectiveness
@@commisaryarreck3974 BS, I rarely survive long enough to even see a target in the SU25, mig21/19 survive longer by staying on the deck and away from the battlefield, but as soon as I try to take out an enemy plane or heli, I'm shot down by a LAV AD.
@@jonse5a You literally fly in a straight line towards your target then Basic evasive maneuvers throw off most SPAA fired missiles. One or two taps of countermeasures if you're not boosting like a tard Su-25 no less? The one with the broken damage model that easily takes 3 missiles before going down?
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. 👍
@@thesupreme8062 your only enemies are like one class on the ground, The other effective means to beat cas are planes So it is pretty easy compared to most tankers that not only have to worry about other tanks, but also big fat bombs from the area the gun can't elevate enough
4:20 yep, that's the 30mm MK 108. hard to use, incredibly sparky, but will kill almost anything that isn't a large bomber with 1-2 hits, depending on if those rounds actually do damage and don't spark.
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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
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!
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.
Idk if anyone mentioned this but at 5:46, less fuel means more likely to have a fire, the gas and fumes are what ignite not the liquid itself so if you have more fuel less likely to burn but if theres less fuel and more air and vapor in it burns even more. Your liquid fuel leaked all out but the fumes remained burning up your plane
@@RDEnduro yes, the game even tells you as much (cant remember if it was in one of the tutorials, or just a loading screen tip), you dont have to actually physically model vapor, just that more empty tank = easier fire
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
You have to play the Mig 21S (R-13-300) with the S-24s. It's the perfect CAS plane. It's not over powered but it's by far the most fun you can possibly have playing CAS.

yeah, the average cas player is too dumb to pick specific targets. yesterday I was farming intelligence awards in a pt-76 and in 3 separate games I got killed by US aircraft dropping 1000lb bombs on me when they could have just as easily killed me with machine gun fire and saved their payload for something useful.
It makes a lot more sense knowing it was Spookston full sending it up that pile of rubble at 10:36 when he killed me
Poor soul…
Watching Spookston struggle in the planes was like watching Saving Private Ryan. It got me in the feels
Spookston when he gets 2 kills and somehow can spawn a fully loaded grizzly
I am become CAS, the destroyer of fun
3:09 Somehow made me almost spit my drink out onto my keyboard But ok lmao
3:23 this edit madee laugh for a minute straight, thank you Spookston.
Me too
Spookston is so good, even in the air he plays tanks
Top tier CAS is great. I had multiple dudes just 1st spawn helicopter with spam rockets. Then they either flew back and re-armed with guided weapons or straight up spawned in a new chopper, with said guided missiles. After they died in this, they spawn in a jet. Playing ground RB without spawning once in a ground vehicle
I once noticed an enemy concept 3 without any kills or assists spawn a plane coz of the scout ability I guess, and managed to get 3-5 kills with planes, truly a great experience
any enemy you scout, that gets killed, gives you an assist as if you had damaged them. AND lowers the spawn cost of all your planes by like 50sp each time. most tanks with scouting, already cost basically nothing, especially in an uptier. so you can reasonably get a plane by scouting like two-three enemies so long as they both are killed while the scout is active, without you ever firing a shot.
@foxboy64 that's the thing I can understand the scouting mechanism but he basically had no assists too, I even checked the reply to make sure
@@abhiram5357I know it's 3 months ago but was he in a squad he could have been getting the teamwork reward
The best CAS planes for me are the F6F and the 109 series. You can do both cas and defend your teammates in the air with those two planes.
Tiny Tim on the f6f
I like the p61 also. The 109 is great anti air and decent cas 2
@@applepie1911e for me, if you know how to do accurate CAS the 4 single release bombs are amazing. Especially at a 4.3 BR.
War Thunder devs instead of nerfing bombers, they. Buff fighters. And considering most fighters can also carry bombs….
day 4 telling you to play with the Italian P40, a tank that does not stand out for its mobility, but has good armor for its BR, good video and how great that you play with planes now!
P40 doesn't have good armour lol
At most you'll very occasionally trollumetric something
@@daskollektiv4593 he usually stops most shots if angled well
@@diegodaza4140 that's not because of good armour, that's because most people at 3.3 don't know where to aim especially against a nation that not many people play like Italy
@@daskollektiv4593 and that makes it a challenge, that it is a little known tank, spookston is dedicated to using and playing with tanks of this type, to see how broken or bad they are, After all, he has played with worse things than an Italian 3.3 tank.
Something special about these videos are that you can watch them multiple times and enjoy it just as much as the first time
"There's really no efficient way for a tank to counterplay a plane"
Smigol: Hold my APHE
You’ve become the very thing you swore to destroy
As an avid CAS hater I clicked immediately
You should play the Type 74 (any of them) attempt #3.
You have shown more emotion getting kills In the grizzly then all your other videos combined.
0:01
I think that cas almost does entirely consist of spamming space unless you're me and use planes to kill planes
I like the idea of planes in realistic or just add a no plane mode for people who don’t wanna deal with it is an easy thing to fix reduce how much scouting makes planes cheaper and increase the SP needed to spawn one as a heavy tank enjoyer I remember the days you could get in a plane by just eating shells
People always like to point out that the population isn’t large enough to support another mode where it is only ground vehicles.
However, steamcharts currently says there is 58k players playing right now, and the in game population normally hovers closer to 70-100k players. So I don’t see why we can’t have a ground only mode
I think calling it CAS is lending it too much dignity. It's not support. It's farming ground kills against players, often to the detriment of your own team (especially when some doofus in a Pe-8 decides he's going to Do The Funny).
Had to stop the video and remember reach after 7:38
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.
3:29 "Surprised that didn't kill him, but he's pretty messed up now." Damn Sporkston, you didn't have to give him the ol' public high school therapist treatment.
I honestly think the biggest part of revenge CASing is you know where they are and so it is easier to find them from the air
yeah this. it can be very hard to actually find targets sometimes, not too bad in prop planes, but as soon as you get to jets it's nearly impossible to spot targets and stay alive.
@@jonse5a
Slightly weave or drop countermeasures
At top tier your only threat is kinetic AA and nobody is playing that seriously since it's top tier AA, an arse to grind to effectiveness
@@jonse5a so untrue, it’s so easy to find targets at top tier and stay alive, literally do any kind of defensive maneuver and spaa will miss
@@commisaryarreck3974 BS, I rarely survive long enough to even see a target in the SU25, mig21/19 survive longer by staying on the deck and away from the battlefield, but as soon as I try to take out an enemy plane or heli, I'm shot down by a LAV AD.
@@jonse5a
You literally fly in a straight line towards your target then
Basic evasive maneuvers throw off most SPAA fired missiles. One or two taps of countermeasures if you're not boosting like a tard
Su-25 no less? The one with the broken damage model that easily takes 3 missiles before going down?
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. 👍
Spookston: CAS is easy
Also Spookston: *crashes every plane in his lineup*
😂 FR
He usually went out with 5 kills on average.
It is easy tho. You dont even need flying skills to be effective
@@kadarmatethat is if nobody looks at you. If a good spaa/enemy. Fighter is i up you will not be able to do much
@@thesupreme8062 your only enemies are like one class on the ground, The other effective means to beat cas are planes
So it is pretty easy compared to most tankers that not only have to worry about other tanks, but also big fat bombs from the area the gun can't elevate enough
4:20 yep, that's the 30mm MK 108. hard to use, incredibly sparky, but will kill almost anything that isn't a large bomber with 1-2 hits, depending on if those rounds actually do damage and don't spark.
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.
1:32 after ad
look how fair and balanced it is. incredibly enjoyable to fight against
spawn a fighter
@@darugdawg2453 If I wanted to play planes, I would play air RB. I play ground for the ground vehicles.
Day 111 of asking spookston to play the american M60A3 TTS
5:03 man that's straight up bullying, grandpa didn't stand a chance lmao
It makes me so happy to hear Spanian being added into more things. Hitting them with the old bush maneuver.
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
I hate being destroyed by CAS even though half my set up is CAS
Who compelled you to stock up on cas in the first place if not cas players themselves
Best way to fight Cas is with your own cas. Having dog fights is super fun tho in ground rb
@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.
@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.
@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.
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!
The Reach Carter audio clip was perfect, thank you.
I love the random edits on your videos..like at 3:09 😂
You earned a new sub
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.
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
@@bigno3991 surprise, warthunder is a ship game with minigames
Since you hate CAS why don't you do a video on AA you can choose the type and br.
Idk if anyone mentioned this but at 5:46, less fuel means more likely to have a fire, the gas and fumes are what ignite not the liquid itself so if you have more fuel less likely to burn but if theres less fuel and more air and vapor in it burns even more. Your liquid fuel leaked all out but the fumes remained burning up your plane
Ya but is that how the game plays? They modeled vapor?
@@RDEnduro yes, the game even tells you as much (cant remember if it was in one of the tutorials, or just a loading screen tip), you dont have to actually physically model vapor, just that more empty tank = easier fire
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
I would love to see him playing anti cas. So either in a fighter or aa stopping cas
at this point I'm waiting for him to just do a match of a lineup of only AA
Very balanced gameplay guys. Such riveting plays. Mains spacebar, absolutely astounding
Aye man, thank you for getting me back into WT
Your videos actually make me laugh and you got me some strategy going
CAS is so common, that I have found it more profitable to just pretend I'm playing Air RB and simply fly counter CAS
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
But bro did you know you become invincible to CAS if you just spawn in SPAA? 🤓
Man, Tu-2S, that thing is WAY better than Tu-1.
That seismic charge bomb sound was amazing
4:21 The result of a Minenegeshoß 30mm High explosive inciandary fragmentation tracer round (they really hit like a fridge full of c4)
You have to play the Mig 21S (R-13-300) with the S-24s. It's the perfect CAS plane. It's not over powered but it's by far the most fun you can possibly have playing CAS.
the grizzly is terrifying dude no matter if you’re in air rb or ground rb and this gameplay shows
7:30 intense turret gameplay you made some dude in a basement bust
That one-tank lineup with FOUR planes hurt my brain
5:56 BAMBOOZLED "It's so much fun...it adds so much to the game" *ironically
8:37 BAMBOOZLING "UUUHOO that is unbelievably satisfying!"
