Once again this is really needed, especially for F2p players.
Make them do hard tasks in order to unlock 2 extra slots.
Like:
Destroy 100 tanks
Kill 2000 soldiers
Capture 50 objectives and etc.
Now this is even more needed since there will be bombers that will be coming. And most players will have to abandon their tank or CAS bomber in order to use a fighter plane to counter the bombers.
I always have used fighter since I unlocked them, but yeah I have to agree, if there are no enemy planes as an axis player, you lit can do shit you just have that slot empty basically and it sucks
If there are 2 enemies on the sky, then there are potentially 16 less soldiers on the battlefield, meaning if your team plays the objective you’ll be through with your fight in less then 2 minutes.
So the counter to bombing strikes will be the same as regular bombers, you just ignore them.
IF it would be a needed mechanic so that you NEED to take these planes out, then we will be having arty spam back - which will get nerfed again unless AA and ground forces get also powerful enough to also dmg these planes, which is right now not the case.
AA and MGs are beyond useless against air targets, that is the real thing that needs fixing first.
Blockquote AA and MGs are beyond useless against air targets, that is the real thing that needs fixing first.
AA are great damage-wise, but they move so slowly that it’s hard to track targets that move horizontally across your line of fire
To respond to the main point though, yeah it sucks hard that I can only have one vehicle and if I get certain tasks, I have to use only the squads I’m not good with to get the tasks done. Vehicles though is the big thing, since it’s hard to pick aircraft knowing I’m so bad with them so if I want to get better I have to handicap myself
that would be nice and add much more versatility for F2P players, however i do think that there should still be two paid slots, so the ones who paid for it can keep it (or give them a compensation)
