Add a way to punish airfield campers if they are the last on their team in air modes

That’s what this post is about, a strike aircraft actually helping it’s team that isn’t “headon 2 dudes and die”

Whilst i agree to your 1st part - this quote is not really correct as the severe ticket disadvantage was caused by an at least 10 months old change on this map:

1. Last year I lost and won matches by tickets on Sicily “out of nowhere” even after 15-16 minutes and decided to take a closer look why this happened. It boils down that somebody fiddeled either with spawn locations (=map specific) or the speed of attacking ai tanks (=probably valid for all maps) - but the result is devastating: Ai tanks attacking north of the lake in the center run into a kind of “Crossing the T” scenario (like in naval battles) and die like flies.

2. And depending on how the air battle develops you can either watch how your or the tickets on the other team melt away. That’s why i wrote multiple times that experienced players are aware of this flaw and come to the right conclusions.

3. The previous posts showed that the op made the wrong decisions and had even despite this flaw all cards to win the game without any efforts - but instead the tenor shifted away from own responsibilities - that½s why i decided to add my 5 cents.

I described this flaw in detail here (October, 2025):

@Real K Soze@live

I used Sicily as an example to show how idiotic certain people (gaijin employees? or 3rd party service providers?) fiddle with maps which were perfectly fine years ago and got ruined in various steps or change rounds. And almost every long term player has played on Sicily in the old axis vs allies world in 1 hour long battles.

And recently some guys fiddled with the column spawn location and or speed of the ai tanks. Even in one hour long matches i could not remember to have seen tanks in gun range of pillboxes. And i played a lot of those matches and i killed mid to late game 8 moving tanks with the 8 x SC 250 loadout.

If you play on Sicily around 4.0 and you play from the eastern side of the map you can relax - the current game set-up guarantees you a ticket win.

Open the replay, skip to 12 minutes and enlarge the minimap. You will see 3 tank columns at grid C 5 running into enemy pillboxes. As this is a very old map tank kills have a disproportionate ticket reduction - and my tanks died like flies. Within 4 minutes my tickets melted from 1.700 to 200 and then: Game over.

The only way to avoid this defeat is to kill the enemy pillboxes & arty/heavy aaa before your tank columns are in their gun range.

Peak map/ai interaction design.

Have a good one!

camping airfield is a bannable action and there should be ways to counter it

he is faster. he outruns us. we had to rearm giving him 8 minutes to just camp airfield. took forever to fly to him. not enough time AFTER rearming to bleed ai tickets
