Will something be done about airplane spam?

They won’t the need to have separate slot just like Bikes and APCs

Whats the difference between shooting down the same jerk, or blowing up the same jerk tanker or shooting the same jerk assaulter?

Is that not why we are all here?

The question is not what they will do about airplane spam, but what will you?
Build an AA gun and shoot it down. Destroy it, relocate, build another, shoot him down again when he tries to spam rockets at your old spot. If hes smart and lucky, he will mark you from 2000 meters away, so be ready, he will line up perfect for you. Or, get in a fighter and deny him access to the air space by shooting him down every single time he spawns.

It sounds like you don’t like US rockets very much
Maybe you can be like those (experts)
Occupy the plane for the entire game so you can ambush planes that come out of nowhere
Although your teammates may be beaten into honeycombs by various things because there is no high-altitude support.
Maybe you will lose or your teammates will hate you.
But you can still be very proud to say that you successfully stopped the opposite plane.

Continuous vehicle attacks are an advantage for paying players
It’s natural to spend money to enjoy
certainly
Free players can also perform suicide attacks
As long as they use efficient wheel tactics

This is a game, not reality
It’s a good thing if it’s useful and makes your enemies complain.
Is it possible that we have to look at the moral laws and regulations of war all day long?
First complain about the enemy using anti-aircraft guns to attack the infantry
Complaining about someone attacking you while skydiving?
Then the military court has already been full.

idk for some odd reason I enjoy more of the infantry action rather than sitting in AA entire game.

So I will dive vertically at an altitude of 1000 meters
Throw all ammunition at high-value targets and then commit suicide directly
This way the anti-aircraft guns can’t attack me.

certainly
under the right conditions
Will be more inclined to severely damage enemy aircraft than commit suicide.

Mhh, yeah
Try that in Br 5 in a 50/50 match. Impossible.

Well thats why i said that, bc i did exactly that. A fellow poster “conscript joe” enlightened me on the the buffed AA, and suggested i give it another go. I did. And wouldnt you believe it, i shot down a cycling P47, AP4C, P51 combo. He tried to avenge himself but just lined up for me. He did kill me with an HVAR on his 5th death. I then got into my 109 G10 and gave him the Minengeschoss treatment. I eventually saw him kill someone with a thompson 100 so i bailed and went for the objective.
It is indeed possible.

Feels like i’m trowing my head on a wall.
Btw try it when maybe your tem is minus or just slight under the enemy team and you will loose two cap by the time you build two AA.
Is possible even to kill plane with fg 42 and pistol but that dosen’t mean that is effective and relayable.
AA need to be buffed, that’s it.

We need separate slots for a good number of the vehicle classes.

Well losing caps quickly isnt the AA’s fault. Its the crappy team. Its just like War, if you dont have a solid front line fighting the enemy, you can forget about AA. Stomps happen. I do agree with you tho, i would love to see more AA and different versions of it, also random AA emplacements on the map for any soldier to use.

Fortunately, DF doesn’t listen to people like you who would like to limit or nerf everything. I think this is what ruined this game. Everything just got nerfed and the only way to win is to spam automatic weapons.

Because DF goes way too hard with their nerfs. WP, impact nades and AA got nerfed too harshly.

I enjoyed old Normandy. Sometimes I blasted someone from HVAR. Sometimes I was blown away by Tiger. It was fun. This was before they nerfed and destroyed everything due to player complaints.

P47 is still incredibly strong, Tiger got weaker but still doing fine most of the time. So nothing been really nerfed from thing you are using.

I do not agree. If the target is in a building, the P47 is useless. A standard strike kills 5-7 soldiers. Any fighter will shoot him down. So after the merger the Americans have a weakened P47 while the Germans from Normandy got the Tiger 2.

Buy this squad for $1000.

I love the infantry action. But i also love sitting in a tank and a fighter plane…

This game has higher races, which are airplane and tank players

Infantry players are only meant to be slaves to vehicle players, even though they are the ones who determine the outcome of the match. They usually put in 200% more effort and MAY have fewer points compared to tank and airplane players.

By understanding this point, you will know what to do. Unless you are in a particularly good mood today and want to be the nanny of some noobs to help them win, it is best for you to get on a plane and become the higher race. This way, you will no longer hate plane spammers, but thank them for bringing you free kills.

As for infantry players, their lives worth nothing. From the pilot’s perspective, they are no different from bots, which may sound harsh, but this game is just so unfair. You can only accept it until the something may be done by DF.

Nothing will happen because the bots in the forum and Reddit will pitch a fit if their vehicle cycling is nerfed. This has been an issue since 2021 Grayzone camping jumbos, and not been touched yet.

Infantry gameplay is in a horrible state right now because of incessant high explosive spam. Heavy tanks camping in the grey zone and suicide cycling planes absolutely ruin this game for everyone besides the person doing it. Nothing about having squad after squad insta-killed by an untouchable opponent is fun.

However, given the majority of the player base can’t actually win a gunfight, they do this to cope. This game attracts the War Thunder rejects, and DF isn’t going to change anything soon.

Common rebuttals the vehicle circlejerkers provide (which are completely ignorant of the actual game situation) include

-get in a plane and shoot them down (ignoring that they can just spawn another plane and dump another CAS run ad infinitum, especially if they’re defending and have unlimited tickets; plus this removes a body off cap which isn’t helpful when you’re one of the sole players defending/attacking)

-build AA (see above)

-build AT Guns (ignoring the fact that American AT can’t kill top tier German tanks and Japanese AT can’t kill top tier American tanks) / Track and Barrel Torture (ignoring the fact that if you kill them they can just spawn another tank)

-use cover (HE doesn’t care and a half-decent player knows where has the best overlooks and common Avenues of Approach)

Like I said, DF isn’t going to do anything about it, and they’re going to drive all the infantry players away until it’s nothing but bots and vehicle mains farming them.
