Gunners For Aircraft GREAT, FINALLY, now how about an airfield to land

It is great that there finally is gunners for the planes that have gunner positions, this is a great update, but I am still disappointed that there is still no way to land and repair your aircraft!!!
I worked hard to get to earning an aircraft, and can’t repair it!!!
There is one map with an air field, and that is AL HAR Conquest, and I managed to land on the runway, but as soon as I got out of the plane I started dying, and the plane fell apart, and blew up. The airfield was in the “GRAY DEATH AREA” which means out of bounds. So I worked hard to land the plane and taxi it to an area that is an area that your “supposed to be in” and I hopped out of the plane to see if I could repair it, since I had a toolbox equipped on my pilot. Could NOT REPAIR THE PLANE! It fell apart again, and exploded a short time later. That is NOT RIGHT! I should be able to freely exit and enter the Plane, repair it, and taxi it, and take off again.
I noticed while flying that ALL desert battle maps are actually ONE BIG GIANT MAP, with just a very small area that players are allowed to stay alive in and fight… Depending on what battle you chose in the games menus that small area would be active and highlighted.
Why not have at least in custom missions a GRAND BATTLE option where the entire giant map is used in one big conflict, with multiple capture points and bases with run ways and field hospitals, and garages to capture. Once you capture ALL of the enemy’s bases they can no longer spawn ANY vehicles, until they capture a base back, or run out of points and lose all together…
This works in WARTHUNDER, why is it so hard to implement here in Enlisted. In WARTHUNDER, when I start a “BATTLE MAP”, and there is tanks allowed, ships, helicoptors, and planes, the ground forces are limited to A MUCH SMALLER AREA to battle in and you rather quickly die if you leave the area.
ALL air vehicles have bases away, and even way behind a mountain range, or far back a airstrip, for the planes, and a base for the helicopters to land and get more ammo, and BE REPAIRED AT! Then they head right back into battle. ONLY THE PLANES AND HELICOPTERS CAN LIVE THROUGH OUT THE MAP! Bases are defended by an array of deadly Anti-Aircraft, guns and the gunners are accurate as all heck. This is also an idea to carry over to Enlisted…
I think now after playing Enlisted for awhile, that the game would benefit from have capturable bases. Every base should have a runway, a garage, and a field hospital, as well as jeeps, trucks, and ambulance trucks and half tracks, especially for medics (like some other games in the past)
Supply trucks would be good to, and they could be used to resupply AA guns and cannons that the engineers build. ALSO, have the half-tracks, trucks, and jeeps be able to tow the guns to and from positions (LIKE IN BATTLEFIELD 5), that is a good aspect of Battlefield 5.
Now A BAD THING ABOUT BATTLEFIELD 5 IS THAT THERE ARE STUPID “VEHICLE SLOTS”!!! when there are either 1 or 2 planes and tanks in action, NO MORE MAY SPAWN!!!
THAT IS ABSOLUTE HORSE CRAP! Remove or greatly expand the dumb “vehicle slots”, as a noob I thought in Enlisted you just cycle though your squads, I did not realize that there were “slots for vehicles”, and you would not be allowed to spawn an air plane if some one was using a plane. Air battles were seldom 1 vs 1, over real battlefields, there were multiple planes. and they were dogfighting in a swarm my dad (now deceased) told me about WWII.
I think cycling through ones squads is enough delay. Get rid of vehicle slots please!
One last suggestion. “CUSTOMIZABLE ARMIES”, let players mix and match squads to build an army roster that they create themselves.
Can you give the Americans a M-26 Pershing Tank, and The British a Churchill Tank?
Thanks for our consideration. I will not buy a full access version unless I got the runways and a way to repair my planes, also customize the planes weapons load out, like in WARTHUNDER, and you can change ordinance types, and guns on you planes, and tanks to…

I think the limit on vehicles is because Warthunder is the vehicles based title, this is meant to be infantry focus

But I personally think the 2 tank limit is pretty good

The gunners, as far as I can tell, don’t do shit either. Can’t control them and have yet to see or hear ANY shooting after assigning extra crewmen to aircraft. WTF

The AI tailgunners shoot now.

They sure as F*** DON"T!!! You or anyone else actually see them doing that!!! Nope. Still the same f***tard worthless positions they were before.

Yes they do and yes I have seen it.

More comfirmation here (should you need it): Tail gunners very quiet, no call outs or gun fire? - #23 by 128190343

Too complicated for this game.

I think it’s good that you cant repair since this creates opportunity sooner or later for other people to also fly.

I usually suicide out of my plane if the job is done and I see that I can help my team more otherwise instead of staying in the plane. The game is so fast paced that flying back to an airfield, landing and taking off again would be a rather big waste of time for everyone involved.

And I have yet to meet my first opponent in the air who’s gunners actually fire. If a BF110 gunner is as useful as in War Thunder than it doesn’t matter if they fire or not.

Been awhile since this rant… can’t believe they fixed it. I stand corrected
