2 New gamemodes for Air Battles (sorry if this was already spoke on and if this is the wrong catagory)

Game Discussion Realistic Battle

  1. Dogfighting Mode (1v1 / 2v2):
    A small-scale mode focused purely on air-to-air combat. This would give players a place to practice and enjoy skill-based fights without the chaos of larger matches. I think a lot of players, including myself, would really enjoy having a dedicated mode like this.

  2. Objective-Based Sortie Mode:
    A more tactical mode with flexible team sizes (anywhere from 1v1 up to around 4v4 or 5v5) on larger maps, similar to EC-style layouts. Instead of just going for kills, players would complete objectives like escorting, intercepting, or striking targets.

This would give top-tier aircraft more space and purpose to fully use their capabilities, while also encouraging teamwork and planning.

I also think having an easy to use voice chat for each team or sortie would make a big difference in coordination and immersion.

Air RB should still remain unchanged, since I know a lot of players prefer it for grinding and more casual play.

Conclusion:
These are just ideas from a player’s perspective, but I really believe they could add more depth, variety, and immersion to the game. I know it’s easier said than done, but I’d love to see something like this discussed or considered. Also this could be for sim as well as realistic battles

That’s true but then you have to use the website, then proceded to be there at a certain time and not everyone can do that. It’s a lot just to enjoy 1v1s. I want the ability to back to back queue into a match. Also you have to fly the specific vehicle that you might not like or enjoy
