It is, and I think that’s fair. A tank is strong, but you have to be very careful and keep an eye on the situation, if I’m playing with friends I ask for cover, because ANY infantryman is dangerous.
But a plane is only afraid of the same planes and anti-aircraft guns (do you see them often?) All of this is specialized units, which are often not in the game, that way you can drop bombs all game without fearing for your life
I camp, I hate Beig blown up by infantry with a fictional TNT bundle, so I stay as far away as I can from them, I want to kill tanks, when I am in a tank, Infantry are just a thing to do while I wait for an enemy tank.
If was not so comically easy for every infantry player to insta kill a tank in game I would not be so risk averse
I get where I can see the battlefield, I’m level 27 in Tunisia, so I’ve played there as well. If the developers have made a bad map (maps of Tunisia shit), it’s not the tank’s fault.
Giving a plane carte blanche to fuck the whole map without any threats is ridiculous. A tank has twice as many threats, even when standing in a gray area, as a plane does.
Planes are vulnerable to the same planes in the first place, so if the enemy has no fighters, you can kill tanks with impunity. Is this normal? No.
That’s why we need to make the process of flying planes more difficult - there should be more devices on the ground to destroy planes. These could be light anti-aircraft guns of 1-2 large caliber machine guns that any engineer can build, or large 75-88mm anti-aircraft guns for Engineers 2 or possibly Engineers 3.
Also, if the kamikaze player wants to do his nasty, he must fly at least 40 seconds to the battlefield, not 15. Because now the easiest way to kill any tank is by plane. It’s not okay for a plane to reach the battlefield in 15 seconds, because the player always has up-to-date information about the location of infantry and vehicles
Also, why not give tanks the ability to request help from fighter bots. They would fly out and attack enemy bombers in the sky for 60-120 seconds and then fly away.
This would perfectly allow the tanks to defend themselves against the planes.
The radios can already call in bomber squads, after all.
In a perfect world, our OWN infantry SHOULD protect tanks… Sadly it’s true most are dumb dumb.
What I do is I use minimap constantly: I keep a buffer of troops between me and the enemy. I advance with my team, but never head on, then AT rambos hopefully get caugh by our troops before reaching me. If the enemy manages to blow me up after going through my team… Then my death was deserved 🤷
I only USE AA guns if I need to do the daily challenge, the problem is there is little reward for sitting in a gun in game, your going to give up kills for the match playing support so I think many just dont do it, it’s not that hard to shoot down the planes though
I have though managed to damage planes with the MG 34 on the motorcycle on Tunesia a few times, making me think they might add a Jeep or Kubelwahgen with an AA MG on them
Or add an AA MG to some of the Tanks that had them
This, I agree 100%. I wish AA wasn’t so broken weak in Enlisted. Nobody uses it on their broken plane damage models for a reason… 
I flew the OP P38 in Normandy for a while and was never shot down by an anti-aircraft gun, though I tried. I just destroyed it, m8 missiles can do it from 700 meters.
I was literally invulnerable from the ground.
Anti-aircraft guns take too much time and a special unit to try to shoot down a plane. It will just crash and take a new one when you forget about it and lose a squad of engineers.
I also suggested adding a “light vehicle” class for mobile anti-aircraft guns and armored personnel carriers.
That would also be an argument.
In any case, they now continue to facilitate the already easy killing of tanks from aircraft by making the tags last even longer and are better visible.
Idiotic decision. Killing tanks by plane was already so easy that only an imbecile couldn’t do it (or are you trying to do it with German wfr 21 missiles, which are total crap)

Basically every game like this I have ever played the Infantry will never try and protect the ank, they have there own concerns, and the guy in the big bullet proof box is not one of them, I dont mean to suggest that it never happens but you cant count on it.
My “Camping” is not really a conscious choice, but a reaction to the threat environment, if I want to kill and not die fast, I need to sand off, I see guys all day who rush into the point and lose there tank in heart beat to a guy with a TNT bundle, I always think why on earth did they do that, die that fast with little or no apparent gain save a few fast kills and wast that asset for his team
This guy knows exactly what he’s talking about.
Your reasoning is correct. My opinion is that one class of equipment should not be OP and kill everything else. Either give tanks the ability to summon a fighter bot that will protect them from planes, or lessen the impact of planes on tanks
