I think airplane spam is frustrating many players. You are capturing or defending a point. One plane comes and kills them all. When you return, another plane comes and kills all. They would have to put a point system so that you have to play and accumulate points to be able to take a plane and not do as I have seen that some players do that when they are shot down they only go with infantry they have 3 squads killed quickly and they return to leave with a plane if there is no other in the air. Does anyone know if they plan to correct this problem (for me it is a problem) or if they mentioned something

That, or instead of 3 squads, it should be something like 6. Planes would suicide less.
Problem is we cannot remove bombers entirely, as they are a necessary evil to counter tanks spamming mg fire/HE shells from grey zones…

of course they have to be part of the game but you have to see less spam there are maps with bases without coverage that makes it impossible to defend or attack when they bombard you every 3 minutes and kill everyone
I am hoping that the devs are delaying in dealing with the issue of airplane spam because they are working on a solution that deals with the problem in another way than just nerfing planes to death.
If flying and bombing was made to be more risky and dangerous then armchair pilots would spend as much time trying to survive than they do bombing targets.
This will overall reduce the amount of bomb spam in and around the objectives …
Matchs last average 9 minutes, so that would make only 3 times per match… no, sadly theres bombing runs every minutes easily, sometimes more if there’s a fighter plane playing bomber as well.
That’s 9 mins for conquest … invasion is about 20 mins per match …
and the planes are too resistant I play war thunder and the planes are very good at enlisted and spent all my ammunition without being able to shoot down the enemy plane they would have to put the war thunder damage model so it would be easier to counter them with another plane or anti-aircraft
Just in case I did not say about nerfing for me they are fine as they are they would only have to increase the requirements to get them out either by points or otherwise
i have no idea why they took away team killing for kamikaze bombers pilots… plane spam was practically gone and then they made it so you cant kill your own team any more and the trolls are back
You are incorrect: if your plane crashes BEFORE your bombs explode, everyone caught in the blast will die, friendly tanks as well. Thanks to this, we see a bit less suicide pilots. A bit.
no they dont, they made it so you can crash and it doesnt team kill anymore.
it used to kill everyone, but now it doesnt
Must be fairly recent then… I had an… accident 3 days ago because a fighter cliped one of my engines… I wanted to hide from my own team out of shame.
lmfaaooooo thats the worst. yeah man im pretty sure it was recent. i mean ill test it again today, but im 98% sure they changed it
I would be happy with a toggle that would allow me to play with 3/4 games WITHOUT planes. I die more from planes than ground forces so often it makes me just want to quit the game and start a new battle!

Lightning rods on top of bell towers OP.
Ruins of Vaux’s church may have a higher planes kill tally than most fighter players.

It would be cool if we had a system like WT, wherein if you’re playing in the ground or naval modes, you need to accrue a certain number of points before you can use your aircraft. In fact, I’d love that for both aircraft and tanks. That would do a lot to prevent idjits from suiciding over and over, and in the process, wasting respawn points.
