Something has to be done about the rockets on the 110. The aircraft is availble from almost the start of the campagin for every single axis soldier. Every single match I get into now is simply BF110 after BF110 full on suiciding while firing off everything they can before they crash. Over and over and over and over. This is rediculous.
Not only is this terrible gameplay, but its not at all realistic for the rockets on the 110. The GR 21 rocket was an ANTI AIRCRAFT ROCKET. Not a ground attack rocket. Not an anti Armor rocket. It had a fuse to make it detonate after flying a few hundred meters. The size of the kill radius on these rockets needs to be seriously toned down. The 110 already has fantastic ground attack cannons. I just played a game where a 110 would suicide spawn and nuke the allied spawn every single time. I was in a P38, I couldnt keep up with them. They would just spawn, spam rockets, crash. Another player does it. Over and over. Every time getting 10-15 kills.

Apparently the rocket was used for Ground attack too - wiki does specifically mention it being used at Normandy for graound attack, as well as Italy and Ardennes - but no details are given.
But otherwise - yep

10-15 kills? Hahahahaha funny joke! The most I have ever got on a ground rocket strafe was 8. Generally you only get a a nice hit of 5-7 kills every 4 times you strafe everything else is like like one or maybe two casualties if even. Besides the rockets were developed from ground based infantry rockets and would be just as potent as it was against bombers. Just because something was designed as an air attack missile does not mean it cannot or will not function as a great ground attack missile.
Besides what’s even worse than a single BF-110 is a group of two P-38s or one P-38 and an A-20 constantly dropping bombs and rockets everywhere. It’s not very common to see a BF-110 get more than 35 kills compared a typical A-20 pilot getting 60+ Or a park of P-38s clearing an entire cap constantly.
the allies can’t spawn 2 fighter class, it’s has to be attacker class and fighter class with a-20 and p47 being viable for CAS
you can easily get that amount by striking spawns and caps as the enemy is taking them. hell i know someone that used the cannons to scout for him before he fired the rockets

Actually the Waffengranate rockets were based on the panzerwerfer artillery rockets. So technically they can do either role just fine.

You sure? Because I’ve been in many games where there’s been both a A-20 and a P-38 overhead, and other games where two people would rocket attack with two P-38s one after another. I’ve seen it quite a lot…
And yeah I still highly doubt the BF-110 is much better than the A-20 when it comes to how many kills it gets…

i’ve tried to fly a 51c or p38 while someone else was in a 38 as well and was blocked as such, but this was a while ago so they could have messed something up or was because it was the same model of p38
i’m not saying it is better than a-20 since a-20 is basically a bomber but the bf110 is undoubtable strong, getting as much as 33 kills in one pass if you knew the map and what paths the enemies are likely to take

33 kills. By this logic the A-20 should be capable of getting 60 kills in one pass.
yes it is if the enemy is all bunched up which usually happens apart of the first spawn and if everyone spawns in a 9 man squad as to offset that others will spawn in other spawn hence why there is now there is a 60 second timer for aircraft

Yes - and??
Most kills I ever saw in a single strike - before the 1 minute spawn nerf - was a Ju-188 that killed 57 - flown by one of the twitch strteamers a couple of weeks back.
Ok you are really fudging the numbers. The most ive ever seen an A-20 get was 20 kills in the kill feed… that is THE most I have ever seen! If you have footage of an A-20 getting 60+ kills in one fly by you have to show the video because right now I believe you less then American politics.
That you can not get those kills nor see other players get those ammounts of kills either means you play with blankers or you dont play at all.
The numbers Rickyd are putting down are not out of the ordinary. Those are normal numbers if you can keep a plane in the air towards a target. If you tumble down spinning out of control and fire all rockets randomly you will maybe get 4-5 kills. That must be what you are doing?

60 kills is literally killing the entire enemy team in squad games since it’s 10 players max.
I agree to a certain extend with you but not all the way. Out of the gates the German plane is insane. It takes a bit down the campaign before the US gets something comparable and take over from there since we have 2 planes over the one Germany has. At some point it balances out, German planes are stronger 1v1 but we have 2 so get air superiority.
Both sides get bombed to oblivion, thats a fair point to make that might need to change.
The balance between planes however, US wins since we can have the A20 and the P47 in the air at the same time. Which are both really strong planes.
i said it IS possible under certain circumstances, but they had to put a 60 second timer before the first aircraft can spawn and it’s harder to get those as a-20 because germany is defending so they usually get a large amount of spawns on the point itself where a lot of them are in a building

That’s why I am very skeptical of people saying I’m doing something wrong and that’s it’s super easy to get 30+ kills.
here is first spawn before 60 second timer was ever added

Ok, but now we have a timer, your argument is invalid.
the argument was that bf110 could get 15 kills which is a 9 man and a 6 man squad

Which is possible, but highly unlikely, since you have to be at the perfect time, perfect spot, and the enemies have to bundle all together.
