Will something be done about airplane spam?

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.

I did say I hate toy users. Good you recognize this. But I guess farming them is skillful for some.

This too
