Difficult to say for me, as we GM’s don’t handle gameplay related things, mostly chat related only.
I’d certainly report it (using server replay function)!

Alright thank you because at top tier you see a few to many of these people :sob:

Just imagine the ENGAGING GAMEPLAY you’re missing out by airfields having ItOs instead of Roland 1s!
I hope so. One time I had to TK a “teammate” who launched a missile straight at me, while knowing full well who I was. He had done it once before and I didn’t feel like giving him the satisfaction of doing it again.
I’ll definitely use the server replay reporting more often.
Was more visual pleasing xDDD, man i remember spooling up my engine just to get carpet bombed by dumb bombs xD

I really thought this was satire for a bit, that’s how ridiculous your views are. 1 mini base? Quickly destroyed by a teammate, respawn too slowly, or eventually respawn near a runway. Convoys? Impossible to effectively attack without guided ordinance+ targeting pod with good zoom. Carrier? Requires way too many bombs for a mediocre reward

Reward isn’t that bad. Can be sunk even with unguided bombs.
They are the easiest targets, and thus are also the most commonly destroyed. If you’re already in the air and waiting for one it’s much easier.

I completely agree, I’m not good at playing realistic air battles, I like to fly with my favorite aircraft in simulator mode, however, what I do is the same as you do… I use aircraft like the F-111C, F-111F and the Jaguar GR.1A with laser-guided bombs and I focused on destroying modules of enemy airfields, I usually used to fly at 6k meters high and the SAM Roland 1 couldn’t do anything to me… Just today I was able to play in the same way again and I realized what the Roland 1 changed for an ItO 90 just when I was going at the same altitude, they threw a missile at me! I can’t investigate my favorite aircraft, now I’m being forced to bomb enemy bases which is boring for me, as well as “stressful” since the other players on my team usually destroy all the bases and have a good time while new bases appear… I know that many will say that I do PVP or that I am not a “zombie”, but that’s my way of playing and that’s how I have fun, I also contributed to my team since by destroying enemy airfields, the enemy team’s points decrease.
With the last major update you have overdone it a wee bit. I play Air sim only and have to say that the implementation of the ItO90 as Airfield Defense is breaking the game play. Let me explain. I do a lot of base attack runs for a steady supply of points for the team and was difficult enough to destroy a base that was close to an enemy airfield I needed to develop quite special approach patterns to reach the points and not being shot down by the Roland 1 system with a range of 6.5 km. With the implementation of a system with double the range you made it cl impossible to reach the majority of bases at all. No matter from which direction or altitude I try to approach I’ll be shot down before I even come near the point I want to engage. It doesn’t matter to me to be shot down when I’m not careful but the way it is now is very frustrating and costs a lot of silver lions
Please consider to change the airfield defences to a little less dominant system or relocate the bases to a place the can still be close but not as close as it is now

These anti-aircraft weapons are killing more players than the players are killing each other… Kill-stealing bot. LOL

What are you flying?
And what maps(s)?
Most people seem to be hyped due to this being an anti-zomber measure. I dislike the practice too but we just can’t afford to lose ANY players at this point. The situation is critical and can be seen after the patch dropped and the event ended. At the very least the maps which have several minibases inside death zones (like Denmark) should be removed from circulation.
Why remove them? Simply dont join matches there if you dont like the map.

What do you think most people do when they see that full-mixed Denmark is the only active game in a tier? They do go play something else…like other game modes…or other games.

That’s what’s happening. ´
It’s sad to see a “master of the game” without empathy. He just keeps saying things like, “fly like this,” “do this or that.” I sit on a YouTube channel watching (in this case, reading) gameplay. He’s only here to contradict the player base and say that if it’s good for him, it will be good for everyone else.
Tag someone in your comment who can make gameplay decisions. I don’t even argue anymore or comment on his comments. It’s become annoying.
So aparently it is still played.
One can also start another match with another map. If you don’t like the maps that are in the lobby, start another one yourself. And if DK is unpopular and others more popular, it should have no trouble getting players…
But that said, I am also sceptical about the addition of the ItO as it was done here is the right way to adress the issue, and may actually backfire.
Is that jab aimed at me? = /

He can still go for the spaa on the runways. they give stupid ammounts of rewards as you get an ground kill as well as damage to the airfield
Denmark is such a map where in the top left and bottom right bases spawn literlly within 5km of an airfield
I disagree, competent players have no problem playing around the ITO in asb.
Again a few days ago I teamed up with a due and i destroyed the ITOs with AGMs and he bombed the airfield and we both made bank.
I don´t get what peoples issues are except that bases spawn to close the airfields, which i get
Sure, it’s still possible, especially if you team up (which is something still a lot of players shy from…).
But I also still think especially for Denmark it’s bad:
As 80-100% of the red airbases are crammed into the North-West part of the map, there are overlapping SAM bubbles there, which make attacking the bases up there quite tricky if you don’t have anybody taking care of the SAMs.
And for smaller maps (which I admittedly never play at high tier), this will obviously even be worse.
How far can one actually loft dumb bombs? Anyone know?
And is there any official statement or inofficial experience how fast destroyed air defense assets are repaired?
