8v8 air top tier when?

I remmeber when we only had early SARH missiles and everyone was so engaged in 8v8 or just reducing the number of player in air battles. Now, years later, we have insanely more performing missiles and no one talk about this anymore. Why?

Top tier is actually fun when you are fighting against 1/2 anemies. but when there is enemies everywhere, in a 40km map with everyone spawning close to each other its insufferable. You dodge a missile, but end in the path of one of the 16 enemies missile…

Playing with planes in ground battles is actually more fun than air, since you wont face 16 enemies and like 160-200 Fox3s…

We need to talk about this again. More than ever!

8v8 is the lowest you can reasonably have for normal gameplay. Any lower would lead to squads dominating, and would leave even more of the match outcome based on Gaijins questionable matchmaking.

10v10 / 8v8 would be the best option given today’s planes carrying 10+ missiles

I think bigger maps with more spread out pve objectives and respawn system like sim would work better.

When playing the rare 12v12 matches, the end results are sometimes worse than 16v16, meaning 1 team quickly snowballs over the other.

I’d wish for more people but the map in WT is just too small for that.

8v8 or below would just be paradise for base bombers.
