![]() ![]() For each plane I kill with my ZIS-43, and I kill planes with it quite often, those planes have probably already killed 2 or 3 of my teammates. The bottom line is that at this tier the SPAA vs. Meanwhile I'm dead, I only have this one gun truck in my lineup, so there's nothing I can do about it but try not to be noticed by him in one of my other tanks. He flies back to base, repairs, and comes back to kill more teammates. Scenario four: A P-47 takes a direct hit from my 37mm HE round and begins smoking but is still alives, turns around, drops bombs on me which I cannot possibly avoid. The plane does a couple of odd jukes, avoiding my rounds, then lines up and fires rockets or a short burst of cannon fire and I'm dead. My 37mm gun has a hard time pointing straight up, and does wierd things as it has to try to adjust to follow him. He flies straight over me then begins a near-vertical dive on me. Scenario three: I see a Firefly turn towards me, and begin traversing my gun in his direction. I try to traverse my 37mm gun around to defend myself, but it's slow, and it's not even pointing in his direction when the rockets kill me. Managing to keep 360 degree situational awareness somehow while also firing at this plane, I realize a Firefly has turned towards me and started a diving run. I start tracking a P-47 with my gun, start firing at him. Scenario two: I up my SPAA, the Fireflies and P-47s show up. His rockets only landed near me, didn't actually hit me, but it doesn't matter, I'm still dead. Where'd that come from? Oh yeah, a P-47 just rocketed me from behind. I start firing at the Firefly, and score one hit that starts him smoking but doesn't kill him. ![]() I see an insanely fast Firefly diving on a teammate of mine and killing him with near misses of his rockets, so I start traversing my slow-moving 37mm gun over to that Firefly. Oh well, the planes just bombed me, or rocketed me, whatever, but in any case I'm dead. I'm still alive in my first tank, and am unwilling to bail out in order to jump into my SPAA immediately. Typical scenario: enemies get their first kill, bail out, show up in force with P-47s and Fireflies, P-51s, whatever. ![]() I'm actually getting pretty good in the ZIS-43, and racking up some nice plane kills, yet my ZIS-43 is still dying to planes probably two or three times for every plane I kill. Getting good in the ZIS-43 isn't going to save you when a Firefly and three P-47s all hit you at once with rockets, bombs, and strafing runs that themselves will kill you nearly instantly. Players who already have planes are going to play combined forces anyway so it wouldnt make the current gamemode pointles. However there is only a single thing i want: a gamemode where i dont have to worry about randomly getting killed from the sky. In the end this turned to a bit more ranty than I'd like to, my apologies. Why is it that pilots get a safespace whilst tankers are forced to deal with planes they have litle defence against on their own? Meanwhile aviation players dont ever have to play something that cant fly. Guess what i dont f*cking want to because im playing Tank battles. WHY DO I HAVE TO OWN AND KNOW HOW TO FLY PLANES WHEN IM PLAYING TANKS? Seriously i hear people saying "well just bring your own plane and shoot them down". Here is where my real issue with the current system lies at. Lastly even SPAA turns into easy kills once there is a sufficient air presence, especially Experienced players are also quite good at avoiding and dodging AA fire. Also shooting down planes is not easy and you have to learn it. These certainly are effective against ground pounders, however you have to research an entire separate techtree just to get them. People defending planes usually bring up their counters. Im estimating that about 40% of my deaths in russian tier 4 tanks can be contributed to planes.Īs someone who loves fair gameplay i absolutely hate that im nothing but a sitting duck to a plane and it really only comes down to the pilots skills if he kills me or not. But Guess what a dude that died earlier gets a free kill because he has a plane. In every one of those games i already had 2 kills and was in a good position to get more. Of 5 out of 10 games i died due to a plane, in some games even several times. So I decided whilst playing russian tier 4 gf to count a bit. Honestly i dont care anymore when people say it adds immersion and depth, they are soo f*cking annoying to me anymore. ![]()
