Devs mentioned they are working on a better cover system and that prone players will die less frequently because of shrapnel, so…
I wish to wait with that a bit. Better AA, better cover and less frequent/limited amount of reloads of planes could already help, those bombs were meant to be deadly. So I wish to have strong bombs but better options against planes and bombs in the rock-paper-scissors game.
I could wait if needed What you said, that could be also a kinda solution to me…AA is need a better handle, to make flexible and not just to slaughter infantry. (I thought about the AA tanks to see ingame, but I drop that idea…i don’t think the game is ready for AA tanks as well.
Maybe if they open the whole-big map in one battle 25v25 player battles with squads etc. you know…
Thats why there should be limit how many one person could use.
Like 15 vehicles for team but one person can use only 3… and ofcourse those numbers was just pulled from my arse and should be adjusted
I like this idea a lot. Also adds some value to actually keeping the vehicles alive during longer battles. As things are now, suiciding a plane is often better than resupplying it.
Not bad but needs fine-tuning I think. Let’s see a hypothetical match, assuming a team of 6 players, 2 of them ~pro, 4 newbie, rest 4 squad is AI due to conquest-quitters… 2 pro players on premium will probably have no problem using tank/plane/infantry repetitively. Out of the 4 newbies one attempts to use a tank and end up in a trench in a minute, struggles to get out another 2 minutes and gives up on tanks for that match. Other newbies not wishing to use tank at all… We end up with 7 vehicles used per that team, unreasonably limiting the team vs the other, already much better one.
So
if there are AI teams, their vehicle limit should be distributed among players
if someone does not use the vehicles, the slot should get freed up after a while to others.
Like every 3 spawns when someone could select tank but did not do so, he would release one of his reserved tank slots to someone else, whose reserves in that team are running out. And use a timer additionally for campers not dying and not driving to get their slots released as well maybe.
When will an airfield to refuel and repair? When I play airplane (BF109) I can do a bomb drop every 40 seconds so that goes a long way over an entire game.
So no need to reduce the effectiveness of the bombs (they are bombs anyway) but we would have the right to 3/4 / 5min of rest between each run. Aviation would therefore become much more of a support and it would be necessary to be more precise on the strikes at the risk of not being able to swing another one in the next 5 minutes.
It would also offer a little more challenge to refuel, especially if you are damaged. Coming from War Thunder what a pleasure to succeed in landing a badly damaged plane and then take off again
Right now, the game is “rock-paper-scissor-bomb” - The only real counter to planes, is planes. They do need a nerf, and this is doable without reducing their individual power. Simply give them limited spawns per match.
The problem there, is that having planes work like that will lose all the matches. Dedicated pilots already consistently get kill leads, yet their team loses from lack of soldiers on point (at least on Moscow). Planes are simultaneously OP and crap, & flying is a noninteractive playstyle unless the other team has a pilot too.
The effectiveness of bombs will be reduced through prone and shrapnel changes, so that’s kind of a moot point. And I gotta say, your willingness to spend 5 minutes doing nothing kinda says a lot about your playstyle. Using one squad for the entire match is not usually viable in terms of winning, and it’s extremely frustrating for everybody else; Including other teammates who may want to fly a plane occasionally.
why lose all the matches? Obviously you have to adapt the whole game.
But hey, you probably saw it in your crystal ball without animosity.
And no it’s not doing nothing, you want action every second, don’t you?
Keeping your plane within its flight envelope is an exercise, more pleasant for some than others.
There’s nothing stopping you from asking in the chat if someone wants the plane, I always drop it as soon as someone asks.
And personally, at almost 40 years old I stopped playing to win, I play to relax, enjoy the graphics, the soundscape etc.
And yet I have a positive winrate on all factions and I always help my team as best I can
