Hello everyone,

This is mostly geared towards Air SB players but it would be nice to have an option or toggle in-game to choose what type of mission target we would want to cycle through using the ‘select mission target’ (or however, I can’t remember the exact name of the bind).

For example, in an Air SB, if you spawn in and decide you want to bomb a base, you select a target point on the runway and you takeoff and fly assuming it’ll take you to a base but it doesn’t. Instead, you’re flying up to an enemy’s airfield and are now in much more danger because of other enemy aircraft and the enemy airfield SPAA system(s).

This doesn’t sound ideal, correct? It would instead be simpler to have a way of choosing which type of mission target you would want. For example, in a scenario where this gets added, the options could be (dependent on map, of course):

  • Base
  • Airfield
  • Naval Ship/Carrier (EC Denmark, Tunisia, etc.)
  • Coastal Artillery (EC Denmark, Tunisia, etc.)
  • SPAA AI Ground Units (except for Airfield SPAA units)
  • MBT, Light Tank, Artillery AI Ground Units

Of course for a majority of maps and especially in top tier where ground mapping radars are or will become more commonplace, the average player won’t need to use this bind however at lower tiers (12.7 and lower) you probably will as most aircraft at those BR ranges do not have a targeting pod that is able to be useful in sort of challenging conditions (low cloud cover, mostly).
