Can we just get rid of planes in Arcade?

How insulting… Doesn’t change the facts of the matter.

I can indeed… It’s very easy to merely move slightly, compared to sitting still and being a beacon.

Seriously though, you insulting at the first line is indactive of a knee-jerk poster who doesn’t think, so I couldn’t help but guess that inability transfers into your games.

Spoken like a true warrior. The game is cooked with the non sense you defend. Not all spawning aircraft are announced. Try again. When in you’re in the middle of a ground battle sometimes you don’t see it hero.

You’re talking arcade here, they are all announced.

If you can’t make a statement without the need to try insult someone you may as well keep silent.

I question whether the rule on bomb timers is correct. I have seen no end of people suggesting its ten seconds from drop but I have seen so many planes come in, dive nearly 100m from the ground and insta-detonate their bombs, yet when I drop bombs at say, 1000m they take ten minutes to go off. Either this mechanism they report has changed or its bugged.

I always thought it was an ‘assault’ type fuse, where if it hits within a few seconds, it hits that timer countdown, but if dropped from up high it’ll drop and explode instantly.

If it has deviated from that it could be something to genuinely ask about in terms of questioning if it’s a bug or intentional to have timers throughout.

Instead of removing them completely from arcade… i would like to see gaijin give us an arcade battle option of playing with planes, or without them… that way everyone can be happy.

Im all for playing without planes 💁‍♂️🙂

Actually i believe the game expects each match to have a majority of players that prefer ground vehicles…and a few that want to use planes.
A game with only ground vehicles would probably make those players happy…but i doubt that a ground game where most players want to get into planes would be fun for all. Some would simply NOT get the planes they want :)

Ive always found the persons who use planes have a vendetta against the one who keeps killing them.

Its pretty simple. Have arcade as it now for those that like to use CAS, but for those of us that dont want any CAS (strictly tank on tank) give us that option

I like planes in arcade…and i dont usually do vendetta…i look for a target that i can kill. I mostly do fighters anyway as i am slow getting attack aircraft…

Like i said just above…it isn’t. The CAS game without “tank only” players would probably be a bit frustrating for CAS players. You would have 16 players wanting to fly and just 5 in the air.

BUT…i actually would like to test a tanks only game…been in the TO only threads for a while back in the day…i think this discussion appeared when tanks were introduced…

In a perfect world i would want to have the option to chose, and would probably play both. In the real “i want my game as i want it” world, i would like to test the idea at least.

Bottom line is devs think of WT as a Combined Arms game…been their response every time.

They can add a restriction like no CAS will be available for the first 10 minutes of the battle. Maybe use weather effects like cloudy skies, heavy fog or snowfall to prevent the skies being used. This way players will get a little more time for strictly ground versus ground before CAS shows up while allowing those who enjoy CAS the opportunity to play aircraft, just not as quickly as they do currently.

Like you, I enjoy combined arms battles so getting rid of aircraft completely is a big no from me as I enjoy using SPAA to down aircraft. There definitely needs to be some changes as to how CAS is used in the game though. As for a TO mode, yeah I’d play it along with the current mode. A TO mode might even attract new players to or bring back players to WT. Would like to see Gaijin at least do a TO only event to get some data and feedback.
