I am looking at the air, and well there seems to be a lack of plane vs plane fighting? Would it be too much to make the planes operate similar to ground forces with it being a flight? Where there is now a flight of 2-6 planes, a majority of which is fighters/interceptors? The ai of these planes for the most part would be gunning for other planes and not ground forces as that is the player’s job. You can still use the fighters to attack the ground but it will not be good and the player will be in control. I also think this will help screen and defend against bombing attacks because often the players on the ground have issues with it.
fighter planes have ground weapons so allowing too many on the battlefield would just result in massive ground attack spam

Then it would mainly be interceptors without ground weapons. I just want to facilitate more air to air combat to make ground attack harder as there is more of an active threat to manage. Right now it is rare for planes to attack other planes, or for engineer’s AA to attack planes.
the issue is that if you are a free user you can only take a fighter or a bomber and not both
so it makes no sense to take a fighter if you are not sure a bomber will be on the other team
I think this is a solution to that. So there is a more of a reason to be a fighter which is to help clear the skies of interceptors for those bombers.
I get in dogfights literally every match.
same. they are fun x)
This is a really good idea. Right now it’s just drop bomb rearm rinse and repeat. Having ai interceptors who periodically spawn in to deal with will spice things up
Or the players could simply do it themselves as they should
oh no - pls not.
Dont want the same shit like in Heroes&Generals.
Where you spawned and get instant killed my Swarms of Enemy Planes.
I like the current state > main focus ground Support and maybe 1-2 Enemy Bombers or Fighters which you can destroy
