i dont know the exact br for ground arcade, but around br 8.7, half of my matches are having heli spawns. and i hate it. not because its heli. well, a little because its heli. but mostly because nobody picks them. i love shooting stuff that flies with my spaa’s. but whenever a map has heli spawns, i barely got anything to shoot at.
can we get an option to disable heli matches? i think most people wouldnt mind if they disappeared out of map rotation.
I remember when I was poor in WT; I did a Wing Breaker wager (requirement of 5 kills per match to progress). Then, getting a helicopter game, and experiencing this for the first time. In fact, the helicopters with rockets or gun are ineffective against ground vehicles, and because of the time it takes for one helicopter session to end, it is extremely frustrating
is this realstic or arcade
arcade. concerning the spawning tickets. ground arcade has spawning tickets for air stuff. up to br 7 its planes, but after that, you can also spawn in heli’s. but almost no one spawns in heli’s. or atleast not at the same rate as regular airplanes.
There are many of us who would like to see the use of planes in arcades abolished so that it would be purely tank battles and not airplane nonsense.
Now lets think this suggestion through. You would select plane matches to be able to use your spaa better. You then find yourself in a match where many spawn SPAAs to shoot at the planes that others™ are supposed to spawn.
Hmm…
“Many” is a very subjective term. But surely, there are some.
as for arcade tank battles, it should only be about tanks and not for people to use planes there. yes, someone will tell you that it’s cool for newbies to try it out, but if you look closely, most of the people who play it are already level 100 and have a lot of experience and a tank crew upgraded to the max. so most players really wish that planes would be removed from tank battles and it would be purely about tanks or they would do it like it is in realistic battles (tanks, ships) that you can use those machines when you reach certain points
No, it should not.
Just one?
It is your wish, don’t generalize that to a universal fact.
If helis were spawned the same way as in realistic, the spawn point increase for advanced guided ordnance could prevent them from being so powerful. Also making the spawn in a way you get it to fly it indefinitely would make it more reliable for people who want to use them, because they would be using their own setup, which would effectively make the balancing statistics more reliable, which would push them up, because right now a lot of people will try to use them and interceptor helis on their back, which brings down their performance stats, but when you take out heli early on without anyone on your back, you’re king of the hill with easy kills, and the balancing stats don’t represent this properly enough to make the push the helis into higher tiers.
If people have a choice to pick what they want, the problem of nobody picking out helis in your matches will disappear as well. But I know there are matches where you would want to shoot things down and noone is taking out planes as well, so maybe that’s not the real problem here, just that you’re being matched with players usually not taking out planes because you’re efficient in killing planes or because you’re often picking the seasonal task to take down planes.
Whole aircraft spawn system needs rework to make more sense:
It’s not just my wish, it’s what enough players want so that it’s really just about tanks. So I don’t know why it’s called ground battles when you can use air power there too.
Yes we should have a tank-only mode, since we have air-only mode it’s a no brainer that we don’t have a dedicated tank-only mode, I know you enjoyed combine arms thats you, not him or the rest of us, even some players who strickly play naval also say they don’t like planes in their game mode. If you don’t want to play tank-only mode, then play your combine mode bro
But that isn’t exactly what he asks for in the first place.
Who is “us”? Some vocal forumites?
yes but we are talking about arcades. in real battles in naval battles you can use your own planes for scoring points. in arcades there is no such possibility to use your own planes for scoring points.
we as a gaming community
And now please make a connection of what you said and what was said before.
I am with this game for 9 years now, and the gaming community was never united on this issue. So no.
You could also say that a large part of the community only plays the game because there are all these different types of weapons on one map, including jets and helicopters.
When I played arcade, I found airplanes to be annoying at best. The limited time (how long is it today?) for an approach was a reason for me to give up on Arcade.
At least you don’t have to have researched the planes and jets to use them. That’s fair.
but then I don’t have ground tank battles, as for arcades, for me it’s just nonsense of almost any kind and it’s not just a game about tanks. that’s my opinion
My gripe with helicopters in GFAB;
You simply spawn another chopper and shoot him down. It is very easy to get a heli kill in arcade but way more difficult to kill a tank with a heli.
true, but i was referring to SPAAG killing Helicopter not Helicopter versus helicopter.
most of the time i’m not in the position to spawn one, since i’m not safe from GF.
What do you mean by game mode? They play both ground and helicopter PVE battles. If you are talking about ground battles, you can use helicopters there, both your own and trained ones. I am talking about daily missions in ground battles. And honestly, I prefer taking a helicopter than a tank.
