We all know that aircraft can be very annoying at times. especially when they spam bombs on spawn/cap. Right now, we have a “reload point” in the air, making for fast aircraft reloads. I suggest that airfields should be implemented and air reloads removed, airfields would be a 2-3 minute, maybe even longer fly from the battlefield. here, a pilot must land and wait a minute or more to reload bombs and guns. longer if the aircraft is damaged. Airfields will allow both restocking of bombs, guns, and repair of the aircraft.
Airfield strafing may be an issue, a few AI (or even player controlled) anti-aircraft guns could be added around the airfield. However AAA should not have a long range, as pilots can abuse it by flying to their airfield and sitting there.
You are welcome to add more ideas in the comments!
Thanks for reading!
2-3min or even longer to fly to the the airfield + 1 or 2 more minute to reload ? Yeah why not 1 hour and make the planes totally useless and boring to play
Exactly this. The more boring this game becomes, the less player base it gonna have since it is at least for Troops mode not made to compete with the likes of Hell Let Loose etc.
i don’t agree with the AF idea but planes are incredible strong as they currently stand, so maybe instead of an AF we have the resupply point “kill” you, it be more like the WT’s GABs air strike system, and it gives you a large amount of exp or even a multiplier for a safe RTB
Counterpoint: Infantrymen could actually employ ground tactics, and calling in airstrikes would become critically important to your success.
I mainly fly a P-51, and would welcome all aircraft having to fly to an airfield (or even just a point 5-10km further out from the battlefield) to rearm and refit. The benefit of having an airfield, IMO, would be that you could have it like in WT where if you’re willing to sit there for a minute or so, you could be refueled and repaired.
As it stands, Ju-188 and A-20 spam on Normandy make playing infantry an exercise in futility. If people don’t want to deal with flying further to rearm, then I’d welcome more and better AA measures. Yes, I say that as a pilot.
Planes are just too present. They need a massive reduction in a game! The creators say this is supposed to be realistic, which for the most part it is, but these planes are turning it into a cheap arcade game. A couple of planes per battle. Not bombs every 30 seconds.
Again coming back to realistic. Suicide pilots are morons. I understand why they do it, but seriously, if you want to do dumb unrealistic stuff like that go play a different game, or put these players all together in games so they can’t bother the rest of us with their childish unrealistic nonsense. Or if planes are intentional crashed into players, then don’t let them spawn another. Something needs doing about it.
If we have chance to have merged battles:
two or three field battles covered by airplane missions…
Down there is classical battles at let say 3 maps, all 3 are independent for themselves… but at the same time that 3 maps are one map for airplanes battle. Start from airport go and protect or support land troops.
Planes flying back to repair and re-arm is a fact in real life. If you don’t like that, then you have 2 options: 1 Don’t fly a plane and only play as infantry, 2 quit playing this game and grab your iphone and down load the latest version of Candy Crush, and play that instead!
BUT don’t come on this guys post and Troll about his suggestion when it makes absolute sense!
This post has been inactive since the 6 September but since you look like to be a brainless ape it’s OK.
Can you tell me where I am trolling his post? I’m giving my opinion, something everybody can do it so if you aren’t happy with the current plane system you have 2 solutions : 1. You can grab your flying simulator and leave this game or 2. Grab your iPhone and download the latest version of candy crush, see ya dumbass.
