Airplanes

Mess Room

Hello, I have a problem here… could something be done with these planes? The game controls, explosions and gameplay are great, but these planes? For example, you are at the spawn and suddenly an enemy plane comes and kills you all. Is this normal? The game cannot be played like this at all… could it be done if each team had one plane per round? Thanks for the answer

This is not the correct forum section.

But yes, current implementation for air vehicles is very basic.

Spawn camping aircraft is doable but generally not very common. It was more than likely accidental. Have personally “spawn camped” many times but very rarely has it been intentional.

But even so, we need more spawn option for aircraft, ground vehicles and infantry. Spawn camping would probably be a non-issue if we had options.

I would like to write to the developers. That the planes are unsatisfactory in the entire game. It ruins the game everywhere, the explosion of bombs from the plane and then you don’t play at all, there are so many of them flying or dropping so many bombs that it’s unplayable… Could this be solved somehow? As they were attracting people to this game, the planes are ruining it.

In any shooting game, the flying vehicles are powerful weapons in the hands of experienced players. If the aircraft becomes too weak and loses its combat capabilities, then it becomes just a decoration. I think the damage that infantry can inflict on aircraft in this game is already quite good. A 20-millimeter anti-aircraft gun can directly block the airspace. To deal with aircraft other than jet fighters, just hitting 2 or 3 shots will disable them. They either crash or parachute.

I accidentally stole a plane kill from a teammate earlier today my first time in an AA gun. Plane was harassing for a while and no one was doing anything about it, looks like a teammate and me got the same idea at the same time. By the time I’d built an AA gun and got tucked in he had spawned as a fighter and was already on the offender’s tail. I shot literally 1 round into the enemy and nuked him, haha. I got the kill, teammate who had probably landed 20 hits on him got the assist.

Sorry, man. Haha.

All to say, there are AA guns, other planes, AA vehicles to take care of planes. If only 1 side got access to planes i could understand it being unfair, but the best counter to a plane is…another plane. Which you have access to.

Indeed, if there is only one aircraft on the other side and you choose to launch a fighter jet to attack and shoot down the opponent in a surprise attack, the airspace will be calm for a while. However, if the opponent is a skilled pilot, he usually has several spare aircraft. As long as he shoots you down, he will have no opponent in the sky.
As a player who has several spare aircraft, ground anti-aircraft (AA) guns pose the greatest threat to me. This is because I cannot mark ground AA guns from the air and can only detect them when they fire. Typically, by this time, I have already taken a few shots. If the opponent deliberately targets me and repeatedly shoots me down, I usually choose to return to ground combat. For infantry players, the sky will be quiet for a long time.

From a players point of view, utilizing AA or your own aircraft is the answer.

From the developer perspective, a bigger map and a bigger objective area would absolutely alleviate the problem.

Limiting the use of air assets or nerfing their effectiveness is definitely not the answer.

I don’t have premium so i have 1 aircraft. I’m not great at tanks (and don’t find them all that fun to play) so i take a plane with me. I tend to use it only if:

  1. There is a consistent aerial threat, or my team is completely unable to get past the vehicle blockade of the enemy and no one else is flying (I’m not amazing at planes either, but i can bomb a tank with about a 75%+ success rate in the planes that I actually practice with.

  2. My team is either obviously going to win or obviously going to lose, and it might be fun to fly around for a while doing as much damage as possible and get some xp for my planes/pilots
