It’s said that "The amount of active aircraft allowed in battle has been changed to a maximum of two (simultaneously) per side. "
But, after asking multiple players I known, its actually, 2 planes per TYPE per side. There’s 2 type of planes, attacker and fighter, so that’s up to 4 planes per side simultaneously!
We have yet not seen total vehicle count in one side more than 4. So that’s up to 2 attackers, 2 fighters, 2 tanks. Max 4 of them simultaneously.
that’s means when all vehicles being used, with more than 40% of humans are using vehicles, slaughtering rest <60% of human player using infantry.
Well, perhaps I’m not going to use infantry ever? I bought premium and one extra slots in both moscow and berlin campaign, so that’s 3 vehicle slots for me.
Using plane is really leisure and easy to get lots of kills. Now, I dont even have to queue for it.
Suggestions?
This is a main infantry game!
Nerf the vehicles, especially the annoying planes to the level that no longer make those who fight desperately as infantry players mad.
Consider:
- Limit the powerful attacker plane’s frequency, down to old 1 attacker plane at a time.
- Limit suiciding bomb via limit each player’s number of times to use attacker planes. Like 3 for conquest, 5 for invasion/assault.
- Make each respawn of planes cost lots more resource than infantry. Like 2~3x higher than infantry tickets.
BTW, even if it’s a bug. 2 Attackers at same time is still a buff to planes. While most of my friends and I really want the planes to be nerf.

No… it isn’t,
Who ever told you that, either was lying or was taking you for a fool.
Some maps mistakenly allowed you to have 3 aircraft per side active. For whatever reasons (mostly Berlin but at least one Moscow map too).
They have changed it so it is a MAX of two per side.
This was the same with some maps allowing 3 tanks to be active per time. Which has also changed.
Some one said he witnessed 4 US planes at same time.
Nope there are a bug in some map allow use more plane than 2 per side now is fixed on only 2 plane per side
As with anything on the internet.
Video proof or it didn’t happen.
From a distance, all aircraft have no markers so how do you know that people didn’t mistake it for 2 & 2?
I have certainly done that and noticed the same allied ground attack aircraft multiple times thinking it’s more than one aircraft as the other 3 have been off somewhere else dogfighting.
Here is a 3 planes+1 tank just now:
Also what’s your prove of not able to have 4 planes at a time?

He might be right.
I was later on flying with a P47 at the same time which is also an attacker plane.
Will add a fighter to the lineup next match and see if the 2/2 slots are shared or not.
That is not how that works. If you say something changes you deliver the proof not the one that says it is the same.
Because I have heard many people saying they witnessed 4 planes in one side.
Also I just seen 4 vehicles at same time, that’s more possible that the vehicle limits are also broken. Since in the past, vehicle limits thats also limits the planes are same 3.
Also a suspicious pic:
2 attacker planes in the air. Still able to pick the fighter. So we can have 4 planes up in the air at the same time. 2 fighters and 2 attackers.
It’s a bug then, the patchnotes said that it’s only 2 planes

Please say this is a bug … Surely the devs cant be that clueless … If they are then this game has no hope
Well they fix a bug wo give more plane slot in some map and in the end they create another bug wo give 4 plane in all map gg darkflow

Like others mentioned, its a bug. This also happens to the tank limit on certain maps/ matches (mostly in Berlin surprise suprise
).
I dont think that it was Gaijn/ Darkflow plan to increase the vehicle limit as they are already reworking the explosives due plam spam.
I just doubt that they are THAT stupid.
Allowing two CAS is already a big misstep, but from the patch notes this does seem to be a bug.
I still don’t look forward to having two planes dropping 500kg bombs instead of just one.
What would the correct implementation be for this patch then?
It is not a fix for reducing plane counts that where bugged on other maps and sometimes gave room for 3. Because it is in gameplay segment not in the bugfixes part.
The correct implementation is two planes max, reguardless of type. So you could have two CAS two Fighter or one of each.
Overall it seems like a really bad change with how prevalent CAS is, and how lackluster most fighters are by comparison.
Just download something but no news on what it was for …
We’ve changed this system back, like it was before.
