Yeah, and youd hope they’d work on improving the code to handle bigger maps eventually anyway.
Typhoon in 128km² maps is rather dull because you instantly get into combat with no real transit time or time to react. Even in the subsonic Shar I find the maps too small quite often.
Being a healthy amount of ocean should also help too.
The airfields could also remain 128km apart roughly fairly easily too
But in essence, there is no reason it couldn’t be done physically and the most likely answer was that BOL was added late into the FA2’s life and there was never a need for it to actually carry both/no documented proof that it did.
Gaijin’s official line for it iirc is: “If we deem it necessary then it can get the buff” or something to that affect
Considering the av 8 can carry 240cm with 6 missiles but we only get 60 with 6 or 60 plus some glitter with 4 i dont see why not? That is untill they make the flares on bol better.
But you’re forgetting something crucial. The AV8 is American and the Shar 2 is British and the only bias stronger than Russian bias is Anti-British bias. When the F47 is added then we might get a new Shar 2 or Shar 2 buff
