I believe if the devs made all pilots (regardless of airframe) take off/land to rearm and repair this will cut down CAS spam on ground targets significantly.
The main issue I see is that planes spawn at around 600-700m in the air. Perfect altitude to start a bombing run.
A) taking off from airfields would force people to….take off….gain altitude, then unload their ordinance. All the while having to deal with pesky CAP pilots on other team wanting to shoot you down.
B) give AA to airfields like carriers in pacific to cutdown on people airfield camping.
Option 1 would drastically increase the time from take off to target which hopefully would force people to pick and choose targets of opportunity over battlefield instead of spamming rounds then RTB’ing.
Having airfields would give pilots who enjoy clearing the skies over battlefield the option to repair.
I really feel this would be a good stepping stone in the right direction. I fly a lot and have seen it all. The ability for planes to spawn at great altitudes, unload ordinance, then fly back to ammo rearm point, and do it all over again is creating this “spam” we see alot.
Yes but it gives CAP players a chance to shoot them down before they get there. The problem is CAP players can never catch them before they drop their ordinance because planes spawn at such high altitude that it’s impossible to catch them while they’re diving.
It forces players to think about how they are going to climb out to get altitude before dropping bombs/rockets. Just flying straight out from airport would make you an easy target
I have seen a lot of anti-CAS posts recently. People really need to stop watching idiot streamers. People who make money from certain types of gameplay should not be permitted to influence development.
Again the problem I’m seeing is having players spawn at 600-700m when entering game. That gives nobody who is actively trying to secure the skies the ability to defend against any CAS plane and stop them from dropping their ordinance, because they just all either.
Dive down and suicide drop everything
Or Dive down, pull up, then die to you after they have wiped out half your team (looking at you P-47)
Forcing people to take off and get altitude before doing anything will help the CAP players cut down on players just spam bombing.
If you really want a solution, try increasing spotting distances. Make aircraft visible from a useful distance, and I mean properly visible not just one moving pixel.
Spawn camping planes in enlisted wouldn’t even be effective. It would be extremely boring.
I really don’t know why are you speculating about it when it’s already implemented in Pacific.
The suggested things wouldn’t change a much, but something like spawn camping airfields wouldn’t be a thing.
I think the better solution for suicide planes would be just give them 30 sec penalty for spawn if player would crash (not shot down by enemy) like until 2 minutes after spawn.
Yeah, it would sometimes punished innocent ones, but I really don think 30 secs are to much. But if are you doing it repeatedly, 30 secs would become extremely annoying.
The problem is where place the airfield, if in moscow and tunisia global map is sufficient add them in a empty spot (there are a lot of them) in the other global map is more difficult
normandy map are almost located near the beach so outiside add a carrier allies cant have an airfield in those map
berlin and stalingrad world map are almost occupied by the city so there is no place for add him currently
I don’t think it’s big problem to add airfields into city maps honestly. You just delete few low res building that’s are currently there and replace them with airfield, or at least with something that could be used as airfield.
I love how he holds personal grudges toward s me. So basically every opinion of mine that doesn’t support his is immediately dehonested with “he’s just troll”.
What a childish mindset.
