Omg Normandy is competitive tonight

Eh, I have mixed feelings about it.
In some matches planes are literally the only tank counter. Sometimes you also get competent enemy pilots that shoot you down and start messing up your tanks/forces. Why exactly shouldn’t you been in able to spawn a different plane in that case?
For example I usually start with the IAR, because it’s faster and more fun than the Stuka… But its not a plane that can just win any dogfight. Other option is 109 F-2, which is way more capable of a fighter, but it looses capability to top down almost any of the tanks and the 250kg doomsday device. And then you have the absolute “break glass in emergency only” Reeeeeeeeeeeee 2000 for when someone is cockblocking air with a Spitfire.
And then there is cannon Stuka, in case someone on your team already took out a fighter and is flying in circles somewhere and you absolutely need to blow up that 105 currently killing your entire team. Or become the fighter yourself lol.

So yeah, I will “plane cycle” a few times if I there is stuff that needs to be bombed or shot down and I don’t really think it’s that much of a problem to be honest. Lots of complaints seem of “tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas” variety. The amount of matches where AA guns are ever built is miniscule. And most of the times I’ve seen them it’s knee jerk "you shot me down/bombed my HE slinger, i will build an AA gun and shoot you in the back and never use it again”

Should you be able to repeatedly respawn and just plow into the ground? Hell no. It would also be nice if other people had some form of priority over a guy who is on his 5th plane in a row too lol

You have many options against tanks, from panzer III J1 to AT guns as well as TNT charges.
panzer III J1 is the most overlooked BR2 German tank, it has 100m of penetration which can easily OHK even BR3 tanks.

None of that works against sentient people in a 105 Sherman lmao
And it gets even worse when you talk about Normandy and the heavy german armor spam

Well that one stings.
12 shot down, 2 tanks, survived multiple 2-on-1s, leaking fuel after the second engagement, and even though I won those sorties, they did their job of pulling me away from bombing runs.

Lost it at the last cap with about a quarter left. I bailed at the last minute to try to join the final assault but I mistimed my jump and was too far away to reach it in time.
