These fake explosions are possibly meant to make it more entertaining and give some flair but its actually the opposite its taking away everything, and becomes more and more annoying the more you play please just remove it, its simply not fun so see it every time you spawn in, and makes no sense on maps where the ground is peaceful aka not berlin where this would make sense to see.

Same for the bomber formations. Im fine with adding some aa explosion that happen randomly over the map but the ones with the planes look weird.

I like it. Its a unique sound cue that paratroopers are coming

I like the idea, but the execution is absolutely ridiculous. When you look at it from a distance, it just looks terribly cheesy. Definition of uncanny valley feeling.
I think the explosions should be in a wider radius from the plane than they are now.

a plane coming out of no where getting shot at from non existent AA.

all for improving it. Its the sound cue part I like for gameplay

Spawning away further would be kinda cool as well, it gives pilots also a chance to damage or take down the plane even tho i have to say no one actually does it, ive seen in in all that time a few times only literally 5 times max it spawns in so close its not really worth it going for at all, especially if everyone has been delivered.
I think pilots would go for paraplanes more often if it has an effect on gameplay, for example once its shot down it will double the deployment time of paratroopers for the next spawn for everyone in the enemy team, but it should not stack up as no one would really want to play paratroopers then, but doubling the range where paraplanes spawn would be already quite cool, and is an improvement.

I like these explosions in the air. It looks nice, especially from the crew’s perspective. Of course, it would look good if more planes flew at once.
That’s the only way fighter players can quickly spot transport aircraft
Why remove?

I did manage to do that a few times, you need to get super lucky and have the transport aircraft spawn in front of you. (also 6 insta kill)
Mostly not.
Paras are just going to jump out sooner
You need to actually shoot them. They’re definitely not guaranteed kills.
You got kills? I have intercepted para planes many times and only got a premature ejection of the paras

You can manage to kill them. Especially if you’re using ammo with decent explosive filler.
For example German 20mm and 30mm cannons.
But they’re definitely not insta guaranteed kills
30mm MK108 cannon…
Yeah…done that many times, just plane kill
Was it because the plane got shot down out of bounds?
Not sure. I have got them way before the drop though on multiple occasions.
Maybe you hit one of the guys as they bailed and it chain reactioned them all?
The fake Flak would be a nice touch if it wasnt just the same 2 explosions looped every 2 seconds.
If the flak was more random and would no follow this very predictable pattern it would be so much more believeable.
Even making it RNG where or not the next explsion will be on the other side or at the same spot again will make it so much more believeable.
