You add premium planes that hardly anybody uses. Why? The air game has no direction. Just bomb and kill yourself. Traditional fighters have no role in game because people bomb and suicide. So you are up there having no impact and hampering your team.
CVS are good in practice, but are useless. People will just bomb and Kill themselves. There is absolutely no point! You talk about running back to CV and letting AA protect you. But why? Just kill yourself and spawn another plane.
Rearm times/repair are useless. Again just bomb and kill yourself. Is anybody getting the picture???
Fix the air game. I for one would love to spend money on premium planes, but they are worthless and a waste of money. The default P-47/Ju88/p-38 with rockets to way more than any premium plane and they are free!!!
give air players something else to fight over besides annoying ground players. Give them an objective in the sky or ground targets that impact the game on the ground. Something.
I never suicide, it’s a dick move, but I get many don’t have the patience for flying.
I fly in Game often, most matches, and I see a lot of A to A action, some matches certainly more than others, but in many games there is a steady stream of A to A engagements, not everyone suicides, in fact I don’t think more than half the planes I see in game do this.
I have Bought a couple Premium planes for Tunisia, the Breada 88 largely because I liked the plane, is the 110 Better at CAS, arguably its at least as good if not better, and the 110 is better at A to A, so was the 88 worth it… Non of the premium squads or vehicles imo give the player any real edge in game, apart from maybe being able to compete with later Tiere weapons earlier, thats all they do.
But, if your keen on a plane, basically you think it’s cool, the yes it’s worth it.
I really like the New CV’s and the Water landing and repair features for the Pacific and have used them a few times thus far.
If they Added the F1M2 today I would buy it as a collectors plane:
cause i play normandy, i find planes useful, so i never suicide.
on other hands on pacific planes are pointless. idk how devs even expect for plane to get into range of CV when it is 3km away from objective and is slow AF. it will die way before it comes into range of CV AA, so pure gimmick. also considering that map is open and enemy come from all directions without accurate pointers on ground it is impossible to get any good bombing run on infantry, so planes are mostly AT weapon. and starting tank for allies is AA halftrack… so go figure…
Ya, in my experience non of that is true, at least not for me, I made it to safety of the ships AA when damaged in my Jake, and I have killed a ton of Halftracks withe 60 kg bombs, and infantry as well.
The deal with the AA halftracks is they seem to preoccupied with shooting at the ground and don’t look up.
The Japanese AA tank i have found to be somewhat useless against aircraft, but I must admit I have only used it a few times against them, I was unable to hit them with it, so it might just be I have not enough experience with it yet.
For bombing on infantry, I have found its easy to find them, because as you enter the dive, in a slow plane you have longer to observe the ground and easily see where there firing from
3km away with slow planes… relatively easy to kill enemy planes if you manage to get on his tail. i agree with halftracks, but problem is that everything in pacific is developed to nerf planes to the ground. think that distance to rearm is longest in all campaigns (and even if it is equal to some, those campaigns have faster planes usually).
if those guns werent nerfed to the ground with overheating, maybe they would be bigger threat to planes. problem is that all AA equipment and tanks are plagued by overheating, so they have become useless against planes, but are still excellent against infantry and light tanks.
on shit computer you cant see anything (but i see for shit anyways). only MG tracers are easily visible. and even when you spot enemy 60kg bombs are… underwhelming…
