Start punishing players who suicide bomb with plane and are not even try to fly.
Let´s say you lose all your gained xp what you got from that suicide bomb “run”.

Japanese sweating intensifies
All serious they at least aren’t hogging the plane slot

I mean I’m pretty most crashes are people literally just losing control of the plane. Sometimes maybe they go too hard into a dive or something and its too late to course correct. Its happened to me a few times

that would be a bit too much lol,its really not that bad
Dude the problem is how you make the game see is a sucide run?
For example, Unintentional crash, server desync, plane bug, all of this can be punished because they can be counted as suicide run if we want punish a plane wo crash on the ground withaut have a critical damage or it die after 60s after the spawn

By such logic tanks need to be punished for dying
Crashing airplanes is part of the game, just like dying in tanks is and getting stuck. People crash airplane but most of the time i doubt its on purpose. There’s a learning curve behind it, maybe they crashed at an invisible tree (happened to me) or went at a different steeper angle or similar.
Each airplane pretty much has similar yet different mechanics and how it feels like and so on
Some guy goes in too hard with airplane, maybe gets about 10 to 20 kills and dies. Then he spawns as infantry and someone else has a right to spawn airplane. Nothing bad about it, but what sucks tho is when there’s a very good pilot in a team playing as one for the entire round and i really would want to have a few bombing runs. Let people learn how to play, their punishment is that they need to wait before another airplane slot is available and have slightly longer respawn time.

Endless kamikaze can be a cancer. Yet, there are too many other problems to address. For example endless tank spam in gray zone… there are so many issues connected, resolving only one will simply make the game even worse. Kamikaze are useful tactic to tackle with many problems, such as t34. Also, I would hate those noobs more for them wasting the plane slot and literally do nothing.
If, to make things much better, just give the defend side limited man power just like the attackers. Then each side all needs to consider the cost of kamikaze.
I think the direction they are going, with rewarding skilled pilots and keeping your vehicle alive is something they can keep doing.
I think they can still increase the respawn timeout by a few seconds for planes that crash just seconds after spawning. I get people might be learning, but there is practice mode for a reason and most times people just use a plane spawn as a pinpoint missile

I don’t mind.
I would still do it anyway, to clear out jumbos and other grey zoning tanks when they also have air support.
I mean why would I not? Because others feel offended by it? Eheheh call me rat all you want, remove the xp I do as well, it will remain a joy for me to kamikaze in the face of grey zoning tanks for maximum disrespect.

And how do you wanna measure it?
lol make it easyer to win on Normandy by far long spawn ins for them hahaha. But ya know after they fier they can always bail out so how would that work? I chased a A20 and he bailed out befor I even got my shots off with the JU188 lol
Sometimes it is the only way to deal with cowardly grey zone tanker.

The way I see it, airplanes need to be limited in a controllable manner that doesn’t produce (or at least doesn’t encourage) bad gameplay or cheese tactics. What we have does not fit any part of that discription.
Expecting everyone to know what’s good for them is silly when even developers don’t seem to know that. Expecting them all to be good sports is even more silly. To directly punish people for crashing is not the best idea either (too intrusive, too unflexible), but some solution is required here.
And before anyone asks, yes, tanks obviously need the same treatment. Althought tanks are a different beast entirely and thus would require different limitations. Grey zone is clearly far from an ideal measure.

is this really an issue? i suicide my plane after taking high damage or suicide because im out of ammo with 60 secs to go before game end. Just like real Kamikazes. they never crashed immediately (until last year of the war loading the cockpit with TNT) they spent their weapons first, THEN suicide run.
A few time ago i saw a suggestion from a person here in the forums, can’t remember his name tho. But basically his idea was to add planes (without ground attack possibility) controlled by IA. And i must said that i fully agree with that idea.
First, because that way people must have some skills to survive enough time to do a ground atack.
Second, because right now, those planes whitout bombs are useless
Third, because it would look cool from the ground lol.
Ya thats difrent player gets credit for it. Talkin abought just crashing for no good reason. Like this P38 guy that just crashed I tryed to shot down. Like I said I love when they kill them selfs lol
A P-38 doesnt drop bombs.
I know but the P47 does it has 10 rockets and a 500 pounder
My isues are the towers or a buiding you thought you cleared or the trees. Trying to bomb tanks that are hiding can be difacult.
