6 game starting in a tank and 10 seconds of play after these fucking planes kill me, the game with tanks becomes unplayable because of the planes.

which faction is this? is it the US again?
“the game with tanks” is sitting so far away from the battlefield that you aren’t vulnerable to anything except planes (and some enemy tanks). That’s why you’re fed up with planes in particular, and not threats like explosion packs or TNT that you essentially eliminate by placing your tank where infantry can’t go.
If you don’t know how to counter planes though: Move. Most 50kg/100kg bombs need a direct or near-direct hit in order to blow up your tank in one go, and there’s no indication as to where you’re aiming anyways. So moving the tank makes it even less likely for the pilot to be so precise.

What tank you use?
This is why I like airplanes
Are you ready to get blown up?
Remember to hide better in the next life
This is a mixed bag.
Yes, planes are still broken to an extent. Mainly with the speed and efficiency that they can kill.
HOWEVER…
They are NOT impossible to deal with. It’s just most people are either too lazy to use one of the several ways to counter them (AA guns, half tracks, fighters, or simply moving) or they are so self absorbed with getting kills that they won’t bother grabbing a fighter and helping their team you know… not die.
Based on the way this is framed, I can say with confidence this player was perched up on a hill or somewhere trying to farm those kills.
Instead of sitting in one spot with your tank farming kills, move out of the way, or grab a fighter and do something about it.
Uneffective as $h.t and hitboxes have been broken since months so good luck with that
Only 2 event aa halftrucks we have so what are you talking about ?
Most dont bring fighters since land targets are more numerous and only thing really matters is your kill count for your grind. Only a seasoned veteran would bring them to have some fun and different experience.
Good luck with that moving(!) in urban maps like berlin and normandy where only 1 or 2 main road that a tank can reach the objective area and full of chokepoints as a bad map design decisions
This has nothing to do with laziness
Thats just a logical choice for the hightest effect/cost results.
None of these are fault of players, its devs’ fault.
Game has so much contradicting mechanics that playing with anything other than auto weapons or high cas planes is just redundant
Yea , not gonna lie , a life span of the tank crew is probably between 2 to 10 minutes as as soon as you’ve been spotted by the enemy , someone will immediately try to be a hero and destroy you with anything they got.
They should at lease nerf the anti tank mine , i won’t believe how a tiny anti tank mine would destroy the whole tank
I actually like fighters. Air planes are worth the most to kill, and since everyone else only flys attackers you basically swat them at will (fighting USA you know you will see many attackers)… then once thats done you can strafe apcs or kill any tank in game with your small 50kg freely.
Very effective to rack up battle heroes and place at the top.
Not only that, your team isnt gettimg continuously bombed/rocketed

Whatever. I’m getting more fed up with some of these sweat stacks.
So true.
There’s no shortage of CAS enemy planes when fighting against certain factions at certain br.
Low br: Sovs will bring a lot of IL.
High br: never seen a match where usa didn’t bring a plane.
Axis spawn an average amount, but at all br.
And when I’m a fighter pilot seeing only CAS enemies:
Until there’s an enemy fighter (often coming back for revenge) wanting to engage me
It’s very interesting when there’s BOTH a CAS plane like a p47 AND a fighter plane going against you.

You completely misunderstood the point of my post. Typical.
At no point did I say that AA guns were the best option, I just said they were an option.
There’s four actually and just because they aren’t common means they aren’t an option? That makes zero sense.
All I did was list off the ways to deal with planes, I didn’t say anything about how good or common they were. That’s all you blowing it out of proportion.
Yeah, that’s a problem. Everyone’s hyper focused on getting as many kills as possible instead of helping their team win.
Responsibility for that rest on the both the devs (for creating that culture) and the players (for eating that culture up, and not realizing you can spare those 5 extra kills to help someone out).
Never had a problem with that. And that’s also a map specific problem which has absolutely nothing to do with my post.
That’s wrong and entirely a choice. It’s a choice to bring nothing but auto weapons and CAS because they’ve got it stuck in their head that it’s the only way to win or have fun. That’s simply not my problem.
Anyway, my post was not a debate about the morality of the game. No need to derail the conversation
