I feel as if it is too easy to resupply bombs and promotes the idea of just using the plane all game. I propose the idea of just removing aerial resupply of bombs at all. So when you’re in the air, you can only resupply cannon and machine gun ammo rather than the annoying bomb or rockets. If there is an addition to airfields, aircraft carriers, or bases, they should have to land on those to resupply bombs or rockets.

ah yes 1-2 bomb drops per game great idea

This “brilliant” suggestion was already here and denied.
This is honestly horrible idea that would make planes obsolete.
As people seem to be against idea of airfields I don´t think it is likely to have those too.

What needs to be nerfed is the capacity for smoothbrains to make one suicide run and die with 20 kills without resupplying.
The handful of pilots who are halfway-competent shouldn’t be the ones getting punished the most.
If anything, lower bomb loads and replace the 110 nukes with smaller rockets

Even better, cancel planes, unbalanced 0 skill garbage that costantly wipes out squads, planes are the cancer of the game, no doubt about that.

Planes are the only consistent counter to mortars.

what about the artillery, you only need someone to mark it and then you call a strike on his position (mortars needs a nerf btw)

Planes bombing spawns are problematic, but other than that they are not so decisive. Perhaps more effective spawn protection should be implemented to discourage pilots from memorizing and attacking spawns.
Playing with planes is actually not so easy because you rely on your team marking bombing spots for you. Unless you have oportunity to bomb open field cap that is just getting contested, it is likely that your bombing run will not give you any kills.
Of course another part of the problem is, that teams usually do not bother to build AAA or make any attempts to shoot them down (and limit of 1 vehicle slot for F2P is not helping either, I think we should have two vehicle slots: one for plane to keep air contested, and one for tank for ground support)

Planes and artillery both suck and ruin the game as they are way to OP. But were talking about planes here, the problem I see with them is a decent pilot can survive a whole game unchallenged as no one can kill them. I have took out a few with AA, but its nearly impossible to take out a compitent pilot with AA. he just flies low so you cant see him and dont know what angle he is attacking from, the gun is so slow at turning the plane is usually gone long before you can line a shot up, then usually as soon as you fire a few shots in there direction the next pass your the target and 95% of the time the plane is gunna smash the AA gun. I dont even bother building them anymore, I just think of planes as another OP artillery that nothing can be done about…

You can’t drop arty into the enemy spawn, which 99% of the time is where the mortar is.
Sometimes you can snipe them but not always.
It depends on the game but many times the plane player ends up at the top with the most kills, nobody use the aa gun for 2 reasons probably, it’s ridicolously slow to turn and as a player, waiting for a plane to approach to destroy it it’s incredibly boring, you waste time waiting for it when you could have fun fighting against enemy infantry instead. (same for the at gun btw, incredibly slow and u can’t even move it for some magical reason)
Exactly. Also only engi team can build aa guns so people cant even build those when those are needed
it’s also annoying waiting for planes when you are being an air patrol with weak bombs
Wow, haven’t seen a thread with so many bad ideas and opinions in a long time. I’ve rarely seen a plane pilot be 1st. You can build AA, walk away and when you hear a plane (it’s loud af) just jump in the AA and shoot it down. Fighters can easily take care of bombers. And the mother of it all, not resupplying bombs? Okay I’m gonna jump into a plane, drop one bomb, and then go sight seeing or what.
Just spawn a fighter then.
When a plane can clear out buildings and take a cap, I’ll jump on the nerf bandwagon.

I dont like the planes either in this game, ive tried building and using AA but after 3 tries i gave up, no point as these things are way so slow.
If there were server without planes i would play on them and i think many players would too.
They dont belong in a game with these small maps.

Just because you personally don’t do well with AA doesn’t mean it’s bad. For a plane to do a successful bombing run, it has to fly in a straight line to actually hit something. The AA could be slower then a snail and you could still shoot down a plane. It just takes a bit of thinking how to use them. I can shoot down 3 planes per match with AA as an infantry and when flying a plane I can confirm that incoming AA fire is hard to dodge and shreds your plane. There are also fighters that can take on bombers with ease. You are playing a WW2 game, you get WW2 experience.
not to mention most pilots always approach from the direction their ressuply is… Dont need to turn the aa, just point it towards ressupply

and yet, battle after battle after battle, no one builds AA to take out planes…must be because planes just arnt any sort of threat at all I guess.
