I would like to see a battle of Britain map where only planes can be used.
I’m sure that i’m not the only one getting frustrated when someone spawns in a plane and goes off on a sightseeing tour of the map and not even attempting to contribute to the match. I understand that people need to learn how to fly, bomb targets and dogfight, especially considering that default flight controls render planes unflyable and as much good as trying to butter wet bread. But to hog a plane on maps where at points it is vital to use and direct air support in order to progress and keep the pressure on the enemy is rather annoying!
By introducing a battle of Britain map, at least players will have a place to go to practice flying, bombing, dogfighting and figuring out ways to avoid incoming fire from anti-air guns.
This suggestion can also be implemented with tanks on a Blitzkrieg map.

It reminds me of Battlefield1942. That game had a “Battle of Britain” map that was a true aircraft battle.
In Battlefield, you could parachute into an opponent’s base, tear up the runway, and ride the anti-aircraft guns in addition to aircraft combat. I think it would be fun to do the same thing with this game.
Similarly, it would be interesting to have a “Coral Sea” map in the Pacific Ocean for aircraft combat, or a map in Stalingrad or Tunisia for tank battles where many tanks can go into battle.

Can’t this be created as a mod? I’m on console and can’t build mods, but some of these modders are really good, surely a BoB map is possible if you can up vehicle counts.

I cant say that i remember 1942 all that well, although i do remember having lots of fun in planes…
Considering that the devs like to keep the battles in this game as authentic as possible (AI excluded) I thought that by making game modes such as ‘escort bombers’ where the gerries need to protect their bombers to key locations such as Biggin Hill RAF base, woolwich arsenal etc.
When it comes to an allied attack on the Gerries, the battles can be recreated over france instead.
Maybe im asking too much lol… How about a battle over the channel?.. Simples!
you know there’s this other game like this that does that made by the same company, i’m not sure if you will have heard of it, it’s a pretty small project called war thunder

Ground terrain wont consume so much cpu if battle took place over the channel bombing naval vessels. The would be so little cpu usage, extra vehicles in the skies i doubt would be an issue.
Its such a simple idea, the level could be designed, programmed and released within a day!
Enlisted playerbase trying not to come up with the dumbest ideas possible for a new campaign. (impossible challenge)

One of the main reasons for my suggestion is to provide a place for people to hone their flying skills and controls.
You gotta admit, the default controls for planes suck in this game…?
I think i made it perfectly clear why i made the suggestion, if you think thats dumb, thank you for your constructive input!
As you’ve made it perfectly clear what your thoughts are, It would be interesting to see a poll regarding this subject.
Im pretty certain a large enough proportion of the community would be in favour for this suggestion to be a ‘viable’ waste of the devs time.
Did you actually read the post?
The whole point is… NVM! Smh!
That’s literally describing air rb in War Thunder, dude

If you have a way of telling every knuckle dragging moron that hogs the planes while flying around aimlessly, then please please PLEASE make them switch games!
Console players shouldn’t be allowed to use vehicles with crossplay active
