Ground combat vehicles are not divided by type. Light, medium, heavy tanks, self propelled artillery, tank destroyers, anti-air, even the few flamethrowers; all share the same 2 slots. Everyone can choose and use any vehicle and do whatever job you have to do.
No longer should fighter and ground attack planes be separated. With the 2 plane slots you can use any type of plane. Maybe you happen to have 2 planes that happen to be fighters or ground attack at the same time. Itās no different than if you happen to have 2 heavy tanks at the same time or the other various vehicle types. You bring whatever plane you have to the table and do the job you have to do
The āFighterā and āAttackerā Pilot classes and distinctions would be removed and there would be a new plain Pilot class like Tanker
I donāt think 2 of any planes would be bad or OP. No different than 2 heavy tanks at the same time. Do your job and shoot them down. With 2 plane spots you choose and use any plane
This would also help alleviate a tiny peeve issue of some planes being erroneously categorized. For example the Hs 123 is a dive bomber and they made it a fighter. Now plane is plane
I am not doubting the awesome power of the air plane, but in the grand scheme I donāt think they are too OP that there would be a problem with chance of there happening to be 2 of the same at the same time
Ground vehicles impact the battlefield far more than planes. Planes are more finicky and like a āskill weaponā. They crash, actually hitting your targets is an effort, they canāt repair any damage.
Ideally at least one player should be building AA guns and defending the skies. Itās a good thing to light a little fire under players so they actually care about this play element
The golden rule is simple, just shoot āem down
I once shot down 2 P38s as a A5M. Anything is possible
But we already have the ground equivalent of that now if 2 King Tigers happen to be out at the same time.
If the strongest tanks can be out together then itās no different for the strongest planes
Thatās the point
More players should be forced to learn itās their duty to shoot down enemy planes.
Remember there are possible counter measures that can be added that level the field. Stronger AA guns. I have been long suggesting to add Flak Cannons
On another note Iām just saying that jets arenāt insurmountable. Iāve shot them down with the current AA guns. Yes theyāre a little tricky but Iāve gotten them. Shot them as regular planes too.
Also I feel we really canāt use the strongest exceptions against this idea. Like with ground vehicles we can have 2 little light tanks just as we can have 2 heavy tanks at the same time. 2 jets, 2 stukas, whatever
Planes are tanks natural predators. Even 2x KTH get easily wiped out by planes. With all the bombs you get in br5, itās a formality to make them disappear.
So, tanks have a natural predator. What about planes?
Wellā¦ thereās justā¦ other planes. (Or good AA shooters). Planes are the top of the chain. Now add 2x Meteors in the skies, the equivalent of 2x KTH on the ground.
What could even take those on, other thank lucky shots from AA or revenge spawns?
Nothing much.
And I say this as a plane main. Itās not a good ideaā¦
