Give us airfields so we can use land gears if we succeed in landing we can responsibility as another unit and shorter for planes redeploy timer also denies the enemy pilots the kills if the pilots land safely and reward the points for returning to base safe. Increased number of planes in sky too.

While airfields specifically are not a thing, the mechanic that you are asking for is actually already a thing!
If you “successfully” land a plane, (it can be anywhere like an open field or even in the water), and exit the vehicle, you receive:
- bonus points
- shorter cooldown on that squad (one squad death rather than two in between deployment)

It could be cool as well to have airfields what work like pacific aircraft carriers, and guarded by high caliber AA

Just make it simpler:
In addition to a rearm point, there’s a repair point further away.
You cannot enter repair if there’s enemy within x meters of you (no cheese). Repair duration depends on how whacked your plane is: 10 to 30s.
Once repaired, you air spawn at repair point with full plane health, rearmed and facing the battlefield.
No landing - takeoff bs.
I think the landing part needs to be a part of it, otherwise its too easy.

You should maximize adoption instead.
If you put players throught 3-4 min process to fly, land, repair, take-off, gain speed & altitude, fly and bomb again then it will simply not be worth it and nobody will bother.
Would be especially cool if we got this in combination with large scale battles.
Doesnt work with certain maps such as D-Day or Ver-Sur.

The only time people would need to go through that is if they are damaged enough that they feel it is necessary to repair.
If you have it in the air, you have people using it more frequently, making aircraft even harder to take down.
The LANDING part needs to stay for repairs.

I would think at some point they will add them, at least to some new maps…
Well at least in Tunisia.
There is so much flat, unused land.

The aircraft carrier has been a great addition to pacific. I hope they add it to as many maps as possible either as another carrier or airfields as requested.
I’ve been able to stay in the air for long amounts of time raining hell because I’ve survived every attempt made to shoot me down.

For D-day map, they could add an American aircraft carrier offshore (further away from the beach than the destroyers). The planes for the Americans on D-day should be replaced with Hellcats with the HVARS and 500lb bombs, while the Germans should get a regular airfield.
But nearly all planes of the Allies are not carrier planes.
Well the skin could be changed
Not talking about the skin but about ability to launch from an carrier.
Yes, none of the planes were carrier based, but there would be no feasible airfield for the Allies on the D-day map.
Just cross it and let them spawn further away in return or sth. like because I don’t know how they wanna make an A-20 spawn from a carrier.
They couldn’t really, but they could replace the allied planes for JUST D-day with carrier based planes.
(They did kind of launch A-20 size planes from an aircraft carriers during WW2 during the Doolittle raid)
OR carrier based planes come with the advantage of having the ability to repair at carriers if an airfield is unavailable, in which case non carrier planes cannot repair.
