That’s all I said. A separate game mode for pilots.
Which… which is kind of the point - there should be fewer planes, they should be hard to master, people should favor infantry.
Certainly an improvement, we’ll keep working, though.

Who even plays that? 0_o
Guilty as charged 
Not much anymore, though, but I liked the initial idea.
but than you ahve even fewer planes to shoot at
If we have the aforementioned separate game mode for pilots, that shouldn’t be a problem - there will still be plenty of people flying.
It would also ensure that dogfights are interesting, unlike they are now - you light a guy up, and:
- 50% of the times there’s just no reaction
- 30% of the times they immediatelly crash
- only about 20% of the times you get something that resembles proper aerial combat.

are you want to get killed by wirbelwind aa tanks ?? ^^
This. infantry are just live targets for vehicles/artillery/tanks
Infantry is no longer the focus of this game. Get rekt dude 
No. I don’t. Planes aren’t a problem.
I play infantry primarily with tanks, and planes when necessary.
They aren’t a problem. This entire thread is a skill problem. The enemy plane is bombing you? Go get in a plane and deal with them. It’s really easy. Try being competent.

planes and tanks require zero skill.
I get 100+ kills in either while watching a movie and scratching my family jewels.

yes and?
I’ll have you know it requires tremendous effort to drag my mouse that’s made out of solid titanium across my caribbean nuts and then press Left click to get 10 kills with HE.

Aerial combat is over in seconds.
If someone is on your tail and you don’t know they’re there, you’re downed in seconds. This illusion you seem to have that dogfights happen often is impressive.
They only happened due to the sheer size of units involved. When you have hundreds or thousands going against each other, there will be dogfights. If it’s one or two people, they will be downed in seconds, especially if they don’t know someones on their six.
Let me just acknowlege that the function of grammar is to make language as efficent and clear and transparent as possible. But if we’re all constantly correcting each other’s grammar and being really snotty about it, then people stop talking because they start to be petrified that they’re going to make some sort of terrible grammatical error and that’s precisely the opposite of what grammar is supposed to do, which is to facilitate clear communication.
lmao
It’s annoying, I dont mind getting nuked around spawn, what I hate is being in an intense, fun, fire fight, about to get the upper hand when BOOM everyone’s dead.

Getting spawn bombed is insanely lame.
Most if not all matches now are purely determined by the following.
A tank camping spamming HE
A radio squad spamming HE
A mortarman spamming HE
A plane spamming HE
The already relatively simple gameplay mechanics have been further devolved to a point that it’s a pain to play.

But problem is only mortar screwed up lol
That’s not general squad anymore
Maybe this is why it was nicknamed “dogfight”.
True. Which would happen if you’re flying solo, which was very rarely the case IRL. Hence my asking to introduce a separate game mode for pilots to have multiple planes in the air simultanesously without bothering other classes.
Ah, the old “I don’t like your point, but I don’t have a proper counter, so I’ll pretend you’re trying to make a different point and argue that”…
Can you please point me to where I was saying that? I must be getting old, can’t remember.
Yes, on an individual pilot level most sorties were boring AF. But when dogfights did occur, you usually weren’t alone in the sky and weren’t engaging a single enemy airplane.
If we are going for complete realism even on an individual level, infantry soldiers spent most of their time either in trenches or on the move, not running around on a battlefield yeeting nades and hip-firing SMGs. We are sacrificing that bit of realism in favour of fun.
I am asking to do the same for pilots and maybe tankers (not sure, rarely play as a tanker).
Planes need a serious nerf, reduce bomb blast radius, reduce plane HP and let us order bots to man AA and stay at the AA.
