I already wrote several times about this matter but every time I have the feeling that this problem is getting worse and worse with the time.
Several times I get killed from bombs arriving continuously without have the possibility to have a real infantry battle but just try to avoid bombs arriving from everywhere.
no matter which strategy I use to flank enemies but bombs arriving and just die without knowing from where they come from and how to abvoid them.
I think developpers shpould find a way to get more ballance about this matter.
one proposal to developpers for the future could be to have the possibility to have battles just for infantry and tanks or limit the use of bombers somehow.
Ground strikers are awesome and people are getting better and better at them.
One solution I can think of is to increase fighter cap to 2 per team and to increase exp gained for fighters from taking down other planes. Having more fighters in the air will make taking down bombers and ground strikers more easy, and would also give more chances for dog fights. Would make a lot more sense to build AA on the ground as well, as you will have more targets.
I really hope they don’t nerf planes - on the contrary - there should be more planes in the air, this way they’ll be more busy fighting each other. You would be much more careful making a ground strike, because it would expose you to 2 enemy aircraft.
More Fighter would be great, but fighters drop bombs too. Also, they need to fix the problem with the broken damage model, most of the time it take hundreds of bullets (I mean those indicated as hitted )to take one down except u using bf110, and the spawn time of planes. Instant spawn make air to air warfare nearly meaningless, after shooting down one, the other enermy attacker already drop its payload way b4 you catch him.
Yeah the damage models are ridiculous. I play P47 and FW190 and boy, taking down planes is simply a matter of luck.
Doesn’t really seem to matter how much or where you hit their planes. In some cases I shoot like 10-20 bullets and either break off a wing or tail or even snipe the pilot, in other cases I shoot out all my ammo(indicator showing I’m hitting him), go back reload, shoot all the ammo again, then the guy catches up to me and shoots me down with 2 f***ing bullets. Absolutely ridiculous.
It’s the same with tanks. If damage models were working better, it would be easier to intercept and take down planes, in some cases before they can bomb.
As to fighter’s bombs - I think they should keep the 500lbs bomb on the p47 and add a 250kg bomb to the FW190 - just to be able to take down tanks. Planes with what is equivalent to 50-100kg bombs are terrible for anti tank - unless they implement a targeting system for dive bombing, you have to be a pilots pilot to be able to hit a tank.
Sure, there will be people spamming bombs against infantry, but keep in mind that planes are generally OP in real life and bombs are f***ing effective. That’s why modern warfare relies so heavily on airstrikes. My opinion is that as long as you have more planes in the air, there WILL be more AA guns on the ground. Gonna be A LOT harder to spam bombs when 1-3 AA guns and 1-3 fighters shooting at you.
yap, palnes are making this game a rubish. When during a game someone is starting to drop a bombs on respown, I’m out, it’s waste of time. And I don’t thing that they will do something with this, cause people are climing this for a long time, and only resualt is it’s worst and worst
No there wont more AA guns as long as those are inefficient as currently. Those 250 kg bombs can kill people over 90metres away and destroy AA guns really easily.
Except currently its impossible to intercept bomber before it releases its bombs, unless that bomber literally spawn front of fighter
This is always funny one. Good mix of realism when it benefits one side without downsides of realism… In real life planes dont just materialize in perfect bombing position on battlefield and refill their payload mid air in less then 4km from battlefield.
also in real life those BOMBS WILL KILL FRIENDLY SOLDIERS, currently best protection for infantry is big as possible friendly bomb dropped right to their forehead. Just like modern airstrikes target friendlies to prevent own casualties… right…
The problem with allowing for more fighters is that most fighters in this game have rockets or bombs. This would also reduce the amount of troops on the ground, lowering the scale, unless they increase player cap per side.
Mobile AA vehicles or add friendly fire from bombs rockets are only real solutions I can think of other than making a plane go and land to reload. Building an AA and sitting on it for ages waiting in case the plane comes back or hoping you can actually kill it is very limited fun wise.
At least with light AA vehicles like AA Halftracks perhaps, you can still try to help with objectives and then engage the planes when they come. All 3 nations so far had light AA vehicles so wouldn’t be an issue
Making friendly fire with bombs would be the easiest and fastest way to reduce the abuse. Same way as arty does FF.
Of course this will make some people angry because they are the ones playing bomber or because they don’t want to be TK by some reckless pilot.
To make a compromise, maybe inflict like a 25-50% damage FF. Not enough to kill full heal friendlies but still enough to force pilots to be cautious.
This and improved AA. Now it’s a bit of a joke. Too slow, poor damage, not worth the time spent waiting for the plane to make another run just to have the time to shoot only 10 rounds at it. No need to have AA guns like in Battlefield allowing a 360° one shot lololo but there’s room for improvement. Maybe they work well on Moscow vs biplanes but other than that, meh.
Mounted MG on AA tripods would be more effective than the current AA…
I agree that we need friendly fire for planes but if or when they make that change … I wont be playing for a while because the plane spam will be twice as bad as it was before …
As i remember, Bombs TK if they explo after Pilot died, but they fix this “bug” few updates ago.
I had test b4, flying fighter for whole game and doing spawn camp, I shoot down alot but only 1 b4 it drop bombs, and that was a luck shot that kill the pilot in first few shot. Also my ammo only enough to take down 2-3 b4 i go reload.
This has been worse than ever the past couple of nights. Too many games where I have only died from bombs or rockets it seems. How don’t these people get bored? Seeing a cockpit all day.
To make it worse, everytime I build AA, it takes so many hits to take them down and to add insult to injury, on the rare occasion I do make one crash it usually credits the kill to some random persons bot who had a pot shot with a kar 98 or something -_- Frustrating!
