I feel like sure you could add drop tanks, but why? don’t see reason here in Enlisted, not near enough big matches, nor last that long. the use of drop tanks being experimentally, and only few did it, and not the intended way of action, makes it kinda what? to add.
It isn’t something that should be added really, there are other bombs and rockets and such to add,
more fun would be to add the ability to outkit the planes with different loadouts of rockets and bombs, ofc loadouts that were historically used.
that way we have little bit more options and fun, coosing between groundpounding and going more fighter, or aswell tank hunting or infantry.
What I’d most like to see is the dumb magic reload point removed and airfields introduced for reload and repair.
Airfields is where you should be able to reload and repair, just like the carriers, this magical spot in the air is ridiculous and takes away all immersion, also stresses the gamepace and I mean cmon, you can constantly just bomb, repeat bomb, 1 skilled guy can silence all enemy team if he’s good.
having to go land at an airfield would increase immersion and cause some more time between reloads, increasing time between enemy team on ground getting absolutely nuked and their gaming experience reduced to ash, also at the airfield being able to select loadout for bombs when you reload would be nice, you start maybe full bombs, realize enemy fighters up, you go reload jsut MGs and cannons, no bombs, go hunt that plane and then go for some rockets and bombs and kepp doing CAS. way more fun and changing the pace, and feel like your actually being out on air missions, not just circle back and forth that magical point.
I usually get so bored doing that, feels so unrealistic, boring and unrealistic that takes away all immersion.
What would be fantstic with an airfield is to have the option to also being able to repair, so you won’t have to fly around limping with a half wing, engine barely managing, smoke trailing you making spotting you no problem enemy fighters. It’s stupid not being able to repair.
Worst is when some half decent fly guy use attacker, get damaged, flying slow asf and therefore making team miss out on vital CAS.
Airfield be repair and reload point, done
nothing to think about make it happen
make the game more intuitive and realistic and fun
One more thing is the option to have the ability to kinda return to base. instead of suicide… like cmon, shouldn’t really even be a option in game, no soldiers should be allowed to suicide, die fighting you coward.
I get for a bug/glitch get unstuck button sure.
but then air, having the ability to press, return to base and kinda you know, your pilots turn the plane around and return to base, and you choose another squad to spawn, that would be amazing option.
Instead of having to manually suicide 3 guys in a row, takeing way too much fun and also ruining completely all immersion.
Usually for me (uinless skilled opponents) I use attacker, make bomb run, take out half enemy team, return to magical point reload make exactly same pass again bomb rest of them, repeat repeat repeat… get bored asf, want to spawn one my infantry squads instead, cause they need xp, having to manually suicide all poor guys in the plane one after one, and it is cumbersome to do, it’s dumb, it’s unrealistic, and also really suicide?
Return to Base ability, done
