Jets in Tier 5 not only break the World War II immersion, but they’re also extremely unbalanced. It’s common to play matches where you barely leave the spawn and your entire team gets wiped out by 500–800 kg bombs.
And it doesn’t stop there — it’s one bombing run after another with no break, because even if you shoot down the planes, others respawn and keep the bombardment going.
On top of that, there’s artillery, mortars, rockets, bombers, grenade launchers, grenades, cannons, and tanks all going off at once, shaking the screen nonstop and wiping out entire squads.
Would it be possible at least to remove bombs from jet fighters so they only use cannons, preventing them from taking over the strike aircraft’s roleplay?
Jets are a good tool against gray-zone tankers. However, nothing in this game should wipe infantry as much as those 1,000-lb bombs. I believe the most powerful rockets and bombs should be less effective against infantry, while maintaining it’s effectiveness against vehicles.
Well, yes. Let me remind you once again that in all self-respecting Battlefield clones, the most powerful vehicle is acquired through points earned during the battle.
That’s exactly why I don’t play those games. Terrible system.
I have no clue why should be farming some pseudo points just to play my premium vehicle squads for I have paid for.
Not to mention, to deal with any vehicle in this game so so easy. It’s not like they’re some overpowered things compared to infantry squads. In fact, it’s exact opposite.
Yes, this is a game about infantry capturing points. It’s not about tanks in the gray zone, shelling spawn points, preventing leave it and making it impossible to reach them with infantry AT weapons. And it’s not about aircraft obliterating half the enemy team in a single pass.
I’m not saying tanks shouldn’t have high-explosive shells or that planes shouldn’t have missiles. They should have them, but they should be reasonably effective against infantry.
I don’t really play much BR5 anymore, and when I do play it I did not find the Jet bombs nearly as irritating as the constant nonstop barrage of artillery. Of course, the artillery is almost nonstop in every BR level. Thank goodness the Jets are only in one level.
Oh no another nerf strike? What about making counter jet weapons stronger? They coud easily just at least make AA guns turn faster. The best solution would be to introduce better (more barrels and fast) buildable AA guns on BR 5, but with limited anti infantry power (it could totaly make paratroopers useless). Not to mention so many self-propelled anti-aircraft guns possible to introduce, but this seems not in the current game development condition.
I genuinely want to look in the eyes of the person who said “Yes, Su-9 (1946) over Berlin is what we need in our WW2 game. Soviets were well known for their jets. And add it to 1942 Stalingrad as well”.
Yeah they did destroyed plane balance now all are spamming them and they require no skill you can crash them in other planes and be suicidal absolutely no skill planes. Not to mention they have better turn rates then prop planes… just super bad decision from the devs adding them destroyed plane diversity hope they give us BR ±0 soon cuz I absolutely hate playing with prop against them its very annoying.
He is talking about against gray-zone tankers, large caliber gun will fix this problem, adding more payload will ruined everyone include infantry main’s day.
They indeed are
80% of the time I play enlisted is in plane, bombing all day long, didn’t taking much effort but can easy get 1st and 10k+ score. win or lose? don’t care lol. I got scores and xp.
But I won’t take it as a good game design, It was clearly abused.
Not it cant IL-10 with rockets or Beaufighter with 2 more bombs wont ruin nothing they are very easy to shoot with AA guns and can easily be destroyed by fighter planes and yet will be less payload then the jets and take long time to reload since they are not fast planes. Even good payloads cant save some planes at higher BRs. There is a lot of ground attackers that are super bad at their BR despite having good payloads and should be reduced Pe-3 for the soviets is BR III and it should be BR I.
I guess that’s your opinion.
