There must be a cost to equip aircraft bombs and rockets

For now, there is no advantage in destroying air units without going to a base.

The summoning cost of attackers and bombers is the same as that of infantry. Even if you shoot down the enemy’s deadly plane, the enemy will be summoned again soon.

For users, fighters are no longer needed. Also, there are not many users who use anti-aircraft guns to attack air forces.
They simply summon easily, drop bombs, and, if circumstances don’t work, commit suicide and then summon them again.

It seriously degrades the fun of the game. Airfights don’t exist anymore
If you see an enemy aircraft while attacking the ground, they fight briefly and then stop. That’s it.

If you needed a lot of points to equip bombs and rockets (similar to the Aircraft Summons in War Thunder Ground Realistic Mode)
It would have been much less common to simply drop bombs on the ground and deliberately fall and then spawn as infantry.

Also, many users will try to shoot down attackers and bombers with fighters. Obsolete fighters will be needed.

I’d like to avoid rewarding good players with better gear that allows to gain more kills.

Outside of that, full agree.

I apologize for my poor English.

What I mean is not to mean money, but to acquire and summon a certain number of points in one mission of the game.

To take a simple example, in a mission, a person who kills a lot as an infantryman accumulates points and summons them by consuming them.

There are barely air games anymore because of the bomb nerf. You need to play something like Tunisia/Normandy where we still have big bombs.
The suicide bombing was solved before by having a timer between bomb drop and airplane crash, where if not enough time passes, kills won’t be counted towards the player. It feels like this timer is made shorter or completely removed.

Adding cost to plane spawn will make it even less rewarding than it already is. I personally don’t like bomb nerf already, because it wasn’t the issue on Moscow, Berlin and Tunisia. It was an issue on Normandy maps with planes like A-20. What we got on Moscow is yak dropping 2 50kg bombs that have explosion radius less than a det pack… great balance. I’ve killed more people by strafing them with MG than by bombing. Which is still fun but you can see that much much less people are using aviation compared to before.

The main disadvantage in crashing your plane is a timer that will allow you to spawn in plane again in like 15 minutes or so. Imho the maximum you can do is just 2 attacker spawns. Unless you unlock more slots and planes and stack your roster with them. But then you are still limited by what kind of load out your planes have.

Take into account different dynamics on different maps. Like people complain about AA being useless on Normandy but on Tunisia it absolutely wrecks plane. With a single shot you can delete a wing or a tail and airplanes are mich much slower compared to Normandy. On Moscow it’s more balanced but then there are not that many planes in the sky. Especially when you play as Soviets because Germans are regularly full of just bots.
