I’ve been playing a lot of Tunisia recently and I notice that i spend a lot less time blowing up here than in Normandy. After thinking why this may be I have to wonder if a large portion of it is that the planes do not have rockets.
My thought process is they could remove rockets from the planes, and instead give the ones with cannons the ability to choose an anti air, anti tank, universal, or possibly anti personnel load out for their belts, similar to how they do in war thunder, and leave the planes with machine guns with the bombs they have. This would help prevent the kamikaze dive bombing with rockets we see far to much of, and would allow players to choose the roll they want a plane to fill.
What do you guys think? I know the normandy campaign has other imbalances but planes seem to be a large annoyance there but not in Tunisia and i think it really is the rockets fault in that regard.
Idk… fighters without bombs/rockets are really bad. Including the ones with 30mm’s. Even if they were to give different ammo types i dont see it becoming a viable alternative.
I know it feels shit to repeatedly get a rocket up the ass. But it has to be atleast somewhat worth it to play fighters aswell
Might be down to slightly reduce the power of the rockets though. as from what i can tell they were not effected by the bomb nerf
I agree that the planes without bombs/ rockets are boring, Hurricane in Tunisia being a prime example, however like you said the receiving end of rockets sucks, and is far to easy to cheese the game with. If the cannon would actually pen armor, it could be a super good tank killer, or plane killer, based on the players chosen layout, and customization is always good.
After playing Tunisia I just find the rockets used in the dive kamikaze fashion really ruins things in normandy. The planes are definitely weaker in Tunisia but they still see use, just not in the cheese way of rocket spam, crash, repeat.
Different belts would be awesome! I’ve used Hurricane for 30 kills in airplane task. It was pretty fun but inability to do any damage to even smallest tank sucks. 20mm can already pen smallest Italian tank but you have to hit some very specific parts.
I don’t think that nerfing planes even further will solve kamikaze attacks. You are not penalized in any significant way for crashing your plane, so it’s just an easy way to get some kills or deal with a tank.
