at every start of game , you can easily get tons of kills , with bombers , without any way to counter it

It’s so fucking funny how Pilot mains jump into every thread trying to justify this. They don’t even understand that it’s likely going to be EASIER for them in upcoming updates when the devs address the draw distance while using Planes.
Fuck the current system. Pilots should have to wait 1 Minute and 30 Seconds until they can spawn in planes. Infantry and Tanks need time to move up and hop on objectives, without some overweight sweatlord dropping a nuclear shit bomb on half of the server.
You can’t just unlock an Engineer and start building AA emplacements, that has to be unlocked in their progression tree. Which not everyone has right now.

specially in squad mode with all the ai clustering in the spawn point , even with a fighter with rockets u can get a lot of kills.
For real. I get that there’s some degree of difficult when trying to spot targets while in a plane, but that’s already going to be addressed. All a Bomber needs is one person to mark targets at an objective and they rack up dozens of kills in a single bombing run.
you dont need target spotting when matched start , everyone know where is the enemy spawm , so they just go do the bomb drop get +20 kills , and suicide to get some tanks or inf .
I admittedly don’t get bombed my default spawn too often, but isn’t there some temporary spawn protection?
yep though american CAS is admitting a bit underwhelming until the a-20
They do but it’s not usually much of a help as by the time the plane reaches the intended target, the players will be put of the protection zone but not too far that it is difficult to guess where they are.
As someone who gets double digit kills in every 1st bombing run, I do think there should be a delay in plane spawn. But this should come only after draw distance is increased.
Planes are not as effective after that 1st run. After that it’s a lot of guesswork and help from teammates. The role of planes gets limited to hunting tanks and the occasional pool of infantry that gets bombed.
Players do have the ability to counter that 1st run by building an AA gun the moment you spawn. I’ve seen this done a couple of times.
he even has fg 42 on every unit game is pure p2w
Let’s talk about the Sherman Jumbo, shall we?
remove it
I 100% agree with you
First run is usually the best run for me. After that it’s mostly guessjob 'cuz most of the players won’t mark targets
they don’t help their team nor make the game fun.
Airplanes are pointless at curent state
IF the team wants to cooperate and mark targets, for example tanks, planes can be very helpful. The problem here is communication. Pilots are almost blind without markers, so most of them chooses the easiest way by bombing cap points and spawns.
They are definetely not useless.
depending on which side it is on, since german CAS can be extremely useful especially on normandy more specifically german CAS while the american CAS can be a bit underwhelming
Now that the 1 minute wait has been implimented, the bombers need to be moved to the tier 4 plane, rather than T3. These aircraft deliver the most devastating firepower in the game for their respective sides, and should be acquired later in the game.

As someone who just started playing today, planes are making me want to not play anymore.
First few games I was having fun, didn’t even know planes were a thing. Then it’s like as soon as I hit campaign level 2, every round the enemy has multiple pilots racking up 10-15 kills every single bombing run with zero contest to them.
What’s the point in playing as a low level player if you can’t cap a point without constantly having nukes dropped on your head, with zero counterplay. It’s just not fun dying to something over and over, and/or losing because you constantly see the kill feed filled up with half your team dying to pilots, and don’t even have any on your team to help balance it out.

It doesn’t get any better, honestly. Planes should’ve been earned later in the game, and bombers should’ve been earned much, much later. I wouldn’t object to planes being removed entirely, and I say this as someone who thoroughly enjoys flying.
