A bit of a thing right. I watched a lovely video by a developer a few months back correctly complaining about bad feedback.
“More game modes” is bad feedback.
I mention how AI overhaul needs to be focused on and with that give us PVE game modes such as expanded sim EC, and a new test of air RB EC to see new popularity with the new playerbase.
Cause the PVP game modes… they’re tried and true game modes, there’s really nothing more PVP can be added.
“Battlefield rush!” Tanks already benefit from defensive positions, defending team always wins in the BR system of equal players, and equal players is loved among the fanbase. That and there’s no confirmed report on what the objective balance is for defending vs offensive player counts should be.
Think hard about what you want, and it should probably be related to PVE.
Oh, and if your idea will harm another player’s experience [Looks at this topic’s intent.], I’d suggest thinking of ways that improve the experience… AI overhaul that makes placing and programming AI on maps easier so more ground units can be scattered across maps.
It would be so much more engaging if the goal of the game was shifted from destroying enemy team to maintaing the control of the battlefield and denying the enemy the objectives.
Most Air RB maps are huge, but the catch always has been that all ground NPCs and bases are usually clustered up at 1-4 tiny squares in the map center.
There is indeed little incentive to fly elsewhere, which usually leads to alot gameplay issues.
There are in fact one or two maps with ground npc objectives scattered also far behind the lines and at map edges. Artillery and rocket artillery posititions. Supply truck convoys etc. There you can actually do stuff in your Tornado. Without beeing immeadetly spotted and shot.
On like 95% of all maps you fly to maps center, you get swarmed and killed. Strike aircraft are unplayable. All you can do is to run for a base bomb, if there aren’t any speed fighters with napalm. Its even worse when these abundent NPC planes uncover your player bracket to the whole enemy team.
No, only because then it ruins the bombers that are their main source of base damage. Otherwise you will get SU-25’s loaded with tons and tons of bombs.
