pilots need zero self awareness or team coordination in order to find tanks, you can spot tanks even far outside of your render distance. this needs to change.

can we trade spotting for bombs that get their large AoE boom back

wouldn’t mind especially if that means that MGs can take out planes again.
And why is that wrong when you got incompetent team? Otherwise tanks would be marked permanently.
You basically want good players to rely on bot team, very user friendly.

but seriously, spotting tanks is so easy, its basically cheating at this point, its impossible not to spot all tanks on the map in one fly by, just spam the spot button. And drop the bomb, its basically free kills.
are you trying to make sense again? Because as usually I don’t really see much of it.
maybe. I gotta tell you though, doesn’t make much difference. I don’t often use this to track a tank. I locate them via Muzzel flash and tracers and simply remember where they are.

true, but then you would have to put at least some visual effort into literally spotting tanks, instead of having a free wall hack.
From 2000m you should be able to see the infantry. The tank is big and the fact that it didn’t render to you, and you have the option to mark it yourself, is somehow a substitute for immersion.

you can spot through visual cover tho, in 80% of the cases you would not spot a still standing tank thats not firing either.
this is a problem.
was about to say the same.
Yeah, that’s pretty much classic behavior of tank players. All they do is camping under the trees and not shooting at all.
Nice mental gymnastics.

if you are relatively precise, you can mark tank even from 3000m-3500m.
Often, if you don’t set a destination for yourself while flying, no one will do it for you.
And even if you mark it in the forest or in the city, it gives you the opportunity to properly adjust to the target, e.g. fly along the street.
In some scenarios, using a plane is the only way to destroy an enemy tank.

This is needed, mostly because nothing renders for pilots until you’re ~400 meters away, which means you can’t even see what you want to attack until its too late for many aircraft.

Idk, considering planes got some nerfs with bombs and teamplay is somewhat nonexistent I dont mind this that much.

on one hand, i understand how this isn’t immersive and may be “cheesy” to some. on the other hand, even with this i have difficulty on finding the tank and bombing them on one run.
but then again i sucks at being a pilot, so eh.
back to coherency, i personally don’t see thing as a problem currently, because recently more players are doing jackshit on spotting. AND I KNOW THEY’RE PLAYERS BECAUSE THEY’RE EITHER SMARTER THAN BOTS OR EVEN DUMBER.
or to put it in nicer way that doesn’t insult the ability of players to press a button to mark tanks and the likes, skillful planer wouldn’t use the marking spam technique, and they’re the ones that would repeatedly murderize all tanks in moments. so i don’t see the marking spam thingy a problem.
its because this game lacks mechanics/playerbase to create realistic coordination for planes. being able to find tanks on ground easier compensates for those issues and is a direct improvement of the game.
Then fix the atrocious render distance mb?
