Remove Planes

Seriously. I signed up for WWII squad combat, not to get bombed and change squads every 45 seconds to get bombed again.

no matter how many people complain they will never fix

You signed for nothing, it was clear since the beginning this game is a battlefield like, not a call of duty. If you want an infantry only game you can play something other

How many of these complain threads are going to be made? There is no way they are going to outright remove two classes, multiple vehicles, premium squads, AA guns, and everything else surrounding a deeply integrated part of the game. If you want thinks fixed, first thing is to make actual suggestions.

for my actual reply; i don’t think planes need to be removed but do need a rework since from my view the 50 kilo (100 pound) bombs are balanced since you need good aim to get good rewards

Yea. Planes could use a rework, especially in regards to bombs. On Moscow, they managed to bomb me out of a sniper tower. Also if you’re close enough to a wall, they can kill you through it despite being no building damage nor being near any windows.

i do remember that the stuka in moscow had a single 250 kilo so if you had good aim with it then you can do amazing work

I don’t know how they have their bomb radius works, but if something is in between the explosion and your character, they shouldn’t die. If the object is destroyable, it should leave you injured if there is a distance.

i do believe that they have plans to make your stance effect how much damage you take from bombs

How long did you play this game before suggesting to get rid of planes? How many planes did you fly, how many did you try to shoot down?
I mean … there are maps and game modes where planes are pain, others where they are fun, others again where they are much less visible. There are lots of issues to be sorted out, and devs are not really transparent on their plans about planes, but if everybody with every problem reacts with a “remove it” then the nerf’n’remove guys will ask to …

<sarcasm>

…please remove

  • doors as yesterday I was unable to exit one
  • fences as occasionally I’m stuck on top
  • spawn map because it keeps spinning
  • tanks because they are sitting in grey zone
  • enemy players because they sometimes just flinch but don’t die and they are obvious cheaters
  • academy because it eats my soldiers :wink:

Oh yeah, gimme a pacman instead.

</sarcasm>

I guess I failed to fully agree with you. :slight_smile:

EDIT:
Devs became more transparent about their intentions in the latest news. We now have hints of bomb blasts being reworked, and about planes’ vulnerability improved.

I fully admit my original post was mostly a rage related “fuck this shit” deal, but it doesn’t mean planes aren’t fucked. I’ve played for months and when I first started playing I wasn’t getting bombed into atoms every minute and guys weren’t racking up 100+ kills every game flying back and forth. Its incredibly annoying and sucks all the fun out of it. The game has become “hide from the bombs” and thats stupid. Yes, there are lots of issues. Most of them aren’t that big a deal. I will give you ‘tanks in the grey zone’ and I will give you obvious cheaters. I’ve lit people up with a dozen shots from an SMG close range and they just shoot me in the head and run off. Annoying, yes, but nowhere near as annoying as planes. The whole bit where you assume I want Pacman or easymode is pretty insulting. I wasn’t happy when they made the beach easy af. Air support should be extremely limited, not present for the entire battle. Remove. Planes.

Well, that’s actually being removed :sweat_smile:

The devs have stated that they plan to rework explosion mechanics so that laying down and taking cover will provide better protection

This I agree, yet I’m still against removing planes. Yesterday I had a two minute part where I was bombed, then artillery-killed while inside a building, then bombed again, without seeing a single opponent, and my only error was that I tried to get to the cap point.

So they very well succeeded in creating a game for mazochists, but I hope it’s not their final target. :slight_smile:

That was my attempt for the rage post. Nothing personal, just for the tone of the original post.
Please. Fix. Planes. Don’t. Remove.

Yep, was in a funny mood.

But until they succeed in fixing planes (damage model, explosion calculation, rework how/how often they spawn etc) to our satisfaction, they could just make planes temporarily much more vulnerable, like 2 minor hits from AA or other plane and they’re gone. Three months ago maybe…?

Well, that’s kinda how some ww2 squad combats happened.

Gaijin has a terrible tradition of “overfixing” stuff by throwing it to the opposite extreme.

Their ever-trendy classic in War Thunder being:

Vehicle X: is currently very strong
Salty players: “Either nerf X, make it face stronger opponents, or increase its repair costs!”
Gaijin: “IDGAF, we balance vehicles according to Statistics™”.
Statistics™: confirm that X is currently very strong
Gaijin: proceeds to nerf X, make it face stronger opponents AND increase its repair costs all at once, successfully killing X for good to the point that nobody plays it anymore.

If they do it right the first time, what would they develop the next few years? :wink:

I have flown a lot in this game and what I can think of is they could do (take off-> landing-> loading-> take off … etc.). Airports that are, for example, 10 km away from the battlefield. Airplanes on many maps are not that scary … A good engineer can also handle an airplane well
