Oh, if this game truly needs some timers, it should be for all vehicles. Not only for planes, but also tanks. Ya know, it’s irritating when some dude shoots from gray zone whole match, let it be a limitation. After 3 minutes his tank will despawn and he should attack as an infantryman. That would be a real justice this game needs so much!

There is an even simpler solution to this.
Fix the aircraft damage models. Make air combat as lethal as it is in WT and you will not see players flying around for the entire game.
This will further promote building AA spawns as these will actually knock planes out of the sky realistically if they get too low. It will also impact bomb/rocket accuracy and lethality as the engagement range will have commensurately increased as aircraft will have to focus on reducing AA first and then concentrating on the infantry. (Similar to how it works in WT)
Tanks in grey zones are an antidote to Det Packs, remove those, and put more emphasis on the AT capabilities of both the AT guns available as well as dedicated AT squads to ensure that firstly every player keeps an AT Squad or an Eng Squad in their line up to deal with Armour.
There will be an adjustment in how players learn to deal with ground Armour, but on the assumption of AT lethality parity with the Tanks introduced into the game, you should see a similar outcome as tanks will no longer hide in grey zones. Failing that, revert to the current in game remedy, mark the tank and hope that someone flying with rockets or bombs gets the hint.

Also, timers on planes will only encourage them to suicide bombs. It’s what P-47D pilots does the most. If you get engaged, you deliberately crash to deny plane kill and just suicide-squad-cycle (Deliberately getting yourself killed or just suicide) and then you go retake the plane slot ASAP before someone else does.
“Oh, no, my timer is about to run out! BANZAIIIIIII-” One minute later… “Back on the spam.”
Attacking side of course has no time to build AA.
And this guy was deliberately to avoid meeting any German planes’ attacks. And his damage to enemy was too harmless so enemy could just ignore him.

Sounds good. If you survive, you can even give the tickets back to the team.
