Please, for the love of all things airplanes, REMOVE the bullet lead indicator. Its literally killing my entire desire to fly in this game. It could be near perfect experience and challenge to spot and locate other aircraft, and then all of the sudden the game goes into a super extra easy, no skill, full cheese mode. Might as well shoot my guns for me and fly my aircraft for me too. Its seriously the most disappointing thing to think it will be a challenge just to find out there is no skill required. Target Lead indicator = No skill = No work to get kills, no rewarding feeling, and no fun. If I’m the victor of a dogfight and worked to defend the skies, I want it to be through a good fight, a good challenge. I want the skies to be owned by those who know how to fly and learned to fight. What we have now is terrible. Like cat chases after a laser, this is how you shoot down people in the sky. No skill required.
We could also remove the Vehicle Penetration Indicator on tanks
we could also remove artillery
YES! I’m all for it. Would be a great improvement in vehicles.
Well, the last step would be uninstalling the game…
Trolling and comedy aside, I do agree that these can be removed in hardcore custom matches.
Speaking of hardcore, are they still present there?
I generally try to not play hardcore as it’s a bit too… difficult for my tastes.
I honestly don’t search out custom servers, but if I can get the experience I’m looking for and still level up normally then I will have to give it a shot.
I’m coming back to the game after more than a year. I don’t recall, is artillery now also cheesy?
That would be great
The lead circle just need to go though. On high deflection shots. There is no skill in anticipating where the plane will be. Just shoot at the circle. Profit. Absolutely no skill or thinking invovled
No.
Exactly!
Like there ever was any sort of “flying” scene ingame.
Bomb → suicide → rinse → repeat
This + further rendering distance for other planes would elevate air combat in this game.
Though I understand if the devs want to keep this as beginner friendly as possible.
Now planes just materialize in 2km, whoever is lucky to be looking at the right direction wins.
I disagree on removing marker for tanks though. At least you have to find a weak spot and guess where the ammo rack is (for many vehicles at least). Also for tank the damage simulation is not as good as in wt, lots of wonky shots.
This game is not a simulator, this game is a full cheese mode game. For a dogfight challenge, you’d better find another game.
Cool. Never expected it to be a simulator. Was excited to be locked in cockpit view, expecting challenges and what not. Heck, I use a mouse to pilot the aircraft. If I wanted sim stuff I’d setup a HOTAS and if I wanted it WWII specific I’d be on IL-2 or Warthunder Sim battles. This game has the potential to be much better and fit my personal niche in a better way, hence why my original post is a suggestion.
I had no idea this was a thing, but yeah I just saw a dauntless magically render in front of me exactly 2k out. Kinda disappointing, but not still playable I guess
