i play berlin aswell but the event was easiest for me as the americans as i am level 29 and have everything unlocked
fair fair
Yeah def not a one sided argument with the aircraft.
I feel that if air combat was a little more effective, such as fighters going after bombers and what not. Perhaps even a radar that can be built by engineers, so that their blip doesnt disappear after like 5 seconds. Might make a difference.
im kinda sick of games where you have those poeple that just want to play in the planes and the whole game all they do is just bomb the objective, run after run just bombing the objective, and lord knows that the RNG for plane to plane needs fixing, one of my latest dogfights was against a p51 and i went though three whole ammo restocks of the messerschmitt g6 then i just quit, im not tolerating that shit

Again, a simple solution I posted some time ago: change the availability of bomber squads from a 3 squad rotation to a 6 squad rotation. This way bombers would retain their usefulness, but ppl would be less quick to just kamikaze bomb as they would need to spawn 6 infantry squads before being able to use their bombers again. Bonus: fighters would gain a real use because of this.
Man there have been so many threads about planes by now. The devs dont care. They think zero skill bombing and wiping whole maps is AWESOME. Its so much trololol and pewpew
Still with 10+ players in each team a bomber can be up in the air the whole time. A hard cap of the amount of times each player can use a bomber squad (1-2 per match) is the only normal solution imo. Or just nerf the bomber’s loadouts to the ground. just give them only 100kg bombs. The later would be the best imo but i dont believe it ll never happen

I wouldn’t be against a limit of bomber per match per player. It would achieve a similar result as my suggestion. As long as DarFlow DO something about bombers, for the love of God!

yeah, i think that the IL-2s in Berlin are the perfect CAS for Enlisted. Good but not ridiculous and with only 100kg bombs you need a bit of skill to use them deadly. At least this is my experience of them. Nothing like the meme carpetbombing with 250kgs bombs in Normandy with my Ju-188

The only reason i’ve ever appreciated a plane was when they blew up a camping jumbo or t-28 i couldn’t physically kill in my tank. Outside that i’m entirely in favor of removing bombers in general.

Oh, don’t get fooled! The Il is an excellent bomber as well, and his 37mm canon does murder… his 100kg bombs are also almost as effective when aimed correctly. It’s the same problem with it as the german’s side: most bomber pilots kamikaze bomb and then thank you very much are continuing with another squad… I believe the load isn’t the issue… the availability of bombers is.

Well yeah i didnt say they are weak but at least the 100kg needs actually proper aim to be effective. Not like 250-500kg nukes
And yeah the guns are nice (both the 37 and the 23mm) but i prefer CAS having some cannons and a few 100kg bombs that having multiple 250-500 bombs 
I think bombers need something better to do like giving them objectives.
Getting them to bomb certain points on the map so the team can advance quicker.
Bomb pill boxes or large gun emplacements. Reduce the reward for killing ground soldiers
but increase it for tanks or amo supplies.
AA needs to be better. The only AA guns I see have been built to shoot ground units, lol
I have just fighters in my set ups and I will jump in and shoot down bombers. But the game play
can be frustrating and not very rewarding. Example of a match I had some time ago. It must have been the same person
just doing pure bombing runs.
Everytime I would shot at them and the plane got to the smoking point they would just jump out
denying me their soul and that extra measly kill point.

I personally wish planes in general felt more like vehicles you’re supposed to take care of and less like the predator drone killstreak bonus from CoD. Having to take off, land, and actually fly your plane around and hit specific things would be a nice change.

Pretty much what I mean: limiting their availability will make players less prone to kamikaze waste them and try to KEEP them in the air instead of scum sacrificing. Having to spawn more squads instead of the default “every three squad is your bomber” formula would do the trick… without the devs having to rework everything. Landing and rearming looks nice on paper but is a “meh” solution. You would in fact see MORE kamikaze with that without diminishing the plane availability. The devs would also need to waste time creating a complete air base… twice… for each campaign map. Since matchs have an average duration of only 10 minutes this would be a time wasting endeavor too.
It’s simple, really - everytime your plane crashes, it should suffer some DMG that persists between matches. If you don’t fix it (using silver orders) before another match, it will spawn already damaged.
If the DMG is too high, you can’t spawn your plane at all, you just get a message like: “the vehicle is FUBAR”.
Edit: only the actual crash increases your DMG. So long as you keep your plane in the air, even shot to pieces, your DMG will not increase. This should incentivize players to really fight for their planes, and not just go: “oh, that’s the f-ing point, just suicide”

Ah! I like this idea! It would dramatically punish kamikaze scums! +1 from me.
I would only let the upcoming Japanese faction kamikaze bomb unpunished… because you know, it’s their way.

until u play against someone using a esp cheat. Had a guy always getting 10 to 20 kills. and no tanks could move 5 feet before they were bombed to death.
