Destroy Planes / waste of time ( my Opinion )

hi

i wondered often why Planes avoid other Planes / and they fly often close to other one.
They just fly around, drop bombs, fly back and resupply & dont shoot on the other Plane near them.

Now i tested it last Match.
Hunted & destroyed 4 Enemie Planes.
It gived me ONLY 210 XP for 1 Pilot&Plane
So = 840 XPs

Destroy Planes

  • You protect your ground Forces for a short time
  • low XP income
  • it takes a lot of time

Just drop Bombs

  • You clear the Way for your ground Forces
  • it takes only a low amount of time
  • it gives you a lot XP / way more then destroying Planes

What do you think about the current System / XP Reward?
For me its clear that they must increase the XP Amount for destroying Planes.

There are huge difference with tanks and plane to begin with.

Meaning how you counter tank, well any soldier can carry pack of TNT and take it out or you can choose bomber in your squad who is more capable of taking it out. Last options is to choose squad either bomber, other tank or plane.

How you take out plane basically you only have ONE option choose fighter plane. Yes you can also use engineer squad to build AA gun but it’s pretty weak for taking out planes if you don’t manage to build it the way plane is diving almost straight towards your gun otherwise it just lottery will plane go down when you manage to hit it several times. And as we have seen AA gun is more used against infantry ATM.

It is a total waste of time and i dont mean exp wise. The moment you ll kill a bomber another one will spawn and so on and so on. You just wasting your time while you could help you team either on the ground or by bombing (if the fighter has bombs/rockets)

Moreover, sometimes even you put in the time to shoot down an enemy plane :

  • Plane crashes after you crippled both its engine… And is counted as a suicide, no points for you.
  • Some other plane or rifleman pings it after you dumped 800 bullets into it ? Here’s a 10 point assist.

So I’d stay we need :

  1. Higher rewards (at least x2)
  2. Vehicle destruction assist (0.5x rewards if you dealt damage to a vehicle, tank or plane above a certain threshold)
  3. Vehicle kills goes to highest damage dealer, not last hit. (which would be fair with n°2 implemented)
  4. Only pristine planes (or with minor air-frame damages) count as suicides when they crash
