Revamping of airplanes

airplanes, unlike tanks, will live for a longer time (at least if there is no AA’s lol), this can cause some player to spend his whole match in an airplane shooting at ground, yet hitting nohting and there is no way of repairing the airplane either…

so here is my suggestion:
change the airplane rearm zone into “return to airfield”
after the player enters the zone, his plane unspawns (not added to death count, respawn doesnt take away spawn points), player can then spawn infantry squads, airplane becomes available again after the 1 infantry squad died (current mechanic, just halved)

I think there would then be no reason to fly fighters.

their role is air superiority, they can shoot things down effectively, unless we are on tunisia

There already is no reason to fly fighters. They are solely used for when a team goes plane heavy. Which is practically never. Air war in general needs a revamp. There is no incentive to fly. XP is crap.

I was so disappointed when I actually managed to land my plane in a field, hopped out with my tool kit and didn’t have an option to repair.

I made a similar suggestion a long time ago, not sure if devs has seen it

Now that they have added parachutes, the fighter squad may also have a weak positive effect on the battle by becoming infantry.

Here is the latest summary of these ideas.

I came to the forum for this reason, could be possible land the aircraft and fix the airplane. Ok, not too realistic, but since tanks can be fixed this rule could be added to the aircrafts.

Thank you! In Pacific Campaign now we can fix the airplanes in aircraft carriers or in specific points.
