I’m sick of it. Normandy is the worst! There is this one player on Normandy that does nothing but cycle through A-20, P-47, and P-38. If he dies in one, he spawns in another. All game, he does nothing but shoot rockets, drop bombs, and racks up massive kills. All the while, I’m trying to kill him in a 109 and he just cancels out of plane as soon as he starts getting hit. This cycle repeats all game and he ends up going 100+ kills, while im trying to get control of the skies. BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE, because he just keeps cycling through those 3 AC. This crap needs to be addressed. There is literally no point in playing fighters.

You are correct my friend!

Save yourself a headache. Have fun in a friendly (not so friendly, it’s quite violent) environment. Join Moscow! ™

No garand thumb no play.
My Father called it “M-1 Thumb.”
Planes are working as intended - nothing to fix.
I mean, dev’s I won’t spend a cent on the game until the planes and bombing is fixed or removed, so not sure if that’s an incentive at all to fix this.
I considered it and feel exactly the same as you. Not going to pay any money for a game where I only enjoy 1 match out of every ten.
For a free WW2 fix, whatever. But money is out of the question on account of the inevitable regret down the line when I finally get sick of it and quit playing. Just too much thats off about the game to justify it in its current state.
Why tf are you even playing a game where you only enjoy 1 match out of 10 ffs??!!
Because the good matches are memorable and fun, so I keep chasing that dragon. Kinda the same reason I used to go out on the piss every weekend; I focused more on the fun of the night before than the hell of the morning after. But most matches are definitely not fun, to be quite honest.
And in the end it will probably be the main reason I get bored/sick of this game despite really liking the concept, especially the individualised loadouts and such. Just doesnt really mean much in the context of the games overall design which is a shame.

I want to add to my point here, because its not as if I outright hate the game and think nothing about it is good.
I think the idea of squads is good, albeit unfinished and needing some focused work to live up to its potential. I think the concept of choosing the arrangement of those squads and what theyre carrying is neat and gets me invested.
I think the atmosphere is nicely done in some respects, but overdone in others. I think the game suffers for trying to cram too much stuff into too small an area, trying to make everything happen too quickly to appreciate and enjoy the stuff it gets right.
The small maps with the crazy endless bombing of the point where everyone gathers to play an objective, is really just the most noticeable and irritating symptom of this tendency in the game design. I find that regrettable because with a slightly different mentality in its design, the game’s unique and well crafted aspects would shine a lot more often than they do currently.
that one game in a bunch that I enjoy, is usually the one where for whatever reason the action waxes and wanes, the bombs are less constant, and the teams are fairly balanced with some long lasting “tug of war” over the objective where you arent sure who will win until right at the last second. In those matches, the game shows what it COULD be if the design approach encouraged it rather than work against it - which in many respects, in my opinion, is exactly what it does.
