Yes i know it will never happen, but my god. What triggers me the most is seeing a guy on our team just good enough to not crash the plane, only to be doing absolutely nothing with killing tanks or anything else for that matter. Flying entire game, while enemy team is camping areas with T-50s.

Just quit the match, those guys aren’t worth it to carry.
But I get you, planes can be enjoyable sometimes (only 10 of them were AI bombers)

This is one of my pet peeves. Even if they get some kills, if you are on offence and just barely struggling to cap the point but they still just keep flying. And flying.
This is one scenario that’s led me to desertion recently. If my team is in love with vehicles (and with limited efficacy) while the team struggles to achieve our goals on the ground… I’m likely off to a new match.
That’s also me,
I have seen YouTube videos of people destroying teams using the Stuka, and then me, Killin 1 single guy with multiple bombs…

Yeah, I agree! Practice makes one better.
We all start somewhere!

Practice makes perfect, not everyone here comes from war thunder and knows how to fly well.
I remember myself a year ago, I was that kind of guy, exept I didn’t last the whole match before the ground beat me.
After practicing a lot, I can confidently say I’m a good pilot now, winning most dogfights.
I wouldn’t have gotten there if some sour asshole “teammate” shot my plane everytime it’s his time of the month…

Agreed that the actual suggestion to allow TK on aircraft is silly. I do think that people should use logic when deciding whether or not it’s good sportsmanship to stay in a vehicle. There will always be matches (overwhelmingly good or bad) where it’s fair play to just camp that slot.
Well if you’re depending on a single player to get out of his vehicle, in order to shift the tides of battle… chances are you’re playing on a team with limited human players and the remaining are A.I. controlled squads, that are nothing more than visual-eye-candy on the battlefield.
Why get mad at a single player in an aircraft, when the problem is broken matches with teams that are not composed of 10 vs 10 human players?
It’s a good thing our ranks are concealed by our soldier classes, that way we have a tougher time discerning Human vs A.I. players. within the team rosters.

To the first part, yeah - that’s what I’m saying.
To the second part…
If that player would assess the situation logically, they would know that they could probably tip the balance if they simply grabbed a rifle squad, assaulter squad or other and got just a couple soldiers on the point. Instead they just carry on doing nothing of any consequence while 1 - 2 humans toil in vain. Or desert.
Yeah, they’ve probably just came to the conclusion that the battle is already over. And now they are simply flying for practice/fun, and because they don’t see any point to get sweaty and try pushing the objective.
It’s the same principle as realizing a match is busted, and quitting to find something better.
No. I addressed that. If the match is clearly won or lost then all is fair. It’s when it’s closely contested but progress is stalled that people should be willing to play for the team.
Anyway, this conversation is now tiresome just like that sort of match. So I’ll desert this.
what’s needed is probably a kick vote mechanism. but that would probably open the game to a new kind of abuse…
kill vote instead? if a player is being asshole enough, they can be voted to die?
