Amazing solution, reduce the map sizes of a mode that needs bigger maps for the vehicles it features right now
That would be nothing unprecedented.
It’s time for ARB to embrace the combined aspect WT is so popular for.
Current ARB maps are fine, it’s just the lack of any meaningful objective forces people to flock to the middle, which would happen even if the maps were 300x300km.
I never said to reduce the map size…. I said that the current maps aren’t big enough to avoid high end missile systems….
AIR RB ALREADY FEATURES AN COMBINED ARMS ASPECT
How is that so hard to grasp?
Just because you don’t get to play the ground units and the ships doesn’t mean they aren’t there. There are more objectives to the mode than just “kill all enemy planes”, Gaijin ruining those objectives doesn’t mean that they are gone.
I’m just gonna stop right here, we’ve completely derailed the topic yet again and this discussion is going nowhere.
They are small because most people hate big maps. They want quick matches with a lot of action.
If you think about it a little bit, exactly 2 situations will come out of it:
-
spaa cover the entire map and then the match lasts forever, because there 0 reasons for anyone to play risky against spaa and it’s better to throw bombs at them from 30km, kill them all and than play usual arb match. It’s boring for airplanes. It’s even more boring for the spaa. And the worst part is that it takes a very long time when people need fast matches.
-
spaa do not cover the entire map and planes just fly around them.
It’s not really combined if players can only utilize one vehicle type. Let’s follow your logic here, we could just remove player controlled aircraft from GRB and place harmless AIs in their place, that just circle around waiting to get shot down by AAs.
What an easy way to make GRB a combined aspect mode that isn’t straight up cancer.
It very much does mean that as ARB is just a glorified TDM at this point.
Either of those is easily preventable with implementation.
1, you limit where missile systems can be placed on the half of the map owned by either team going to be in the vicinity of airfields and bases or the low altitude approach’s to said places.
Could air defenses be specifically hunted and destroyed allowing for a “normal” ARB that highly discourages strike/bombers ? Sure. But gives players who want play those aircraft specific goals/targets and gives the fighters something to try and prevent.
- So it’s no different than ARB now, don’t understand the complaint.
But thanks for letting me completely destroy your claim it couldn’t be simply and easily integrated. I do appreciate your cooperation.
Source ?
Funny to see you assume planes will be able to outrange AAs.
AAs could also be a second spawn or something, so they’d already have aircraft in their range that are ready to die.
Isn’t this a solution to having tanks in air rb? Like if they effect tickets, then they are gonna be a target in air battles no matter what if people want to win
Be careful, figher jockies might appear and come after you because you thought of implementing ticket drain for targets on the ground.
You aren’t allowed to mess with their TDM.

Bro, FlakRakRad and ADATS are well enough to counter 11.3 CAS and helicoipters. IRIS-T is too OP for engagind 11.3 and perfectly balanced to engage top tier CAS.

Along with another dmg model nerf
Oh come now, we all know that bombers being made out of balsa wood that has been soaked in kerosine for a month are perfectly balanced as they are right now

Petulant children ruining a mode because they can’t function in any other way that isn’t:
Me see plane, me shoot plane.
ARB and especially top tier is now so braindead to play that I’m sure even literal chimps can be taught to play it with almost perfect efficiency.

or the “Bombers are easy to play, all you need to do is press spacebar”. Bout as easy as looking at a plane and pressing 1 button to take it down.
Might be getting sidetracked lol

God forbid you get shot down by AI AAs.
Waaah mommy, daddy, I got killed by something that isn’t a plane, remove it or nerf it into the uselessness.

Only a little sidetracked… but not as sidetracked as the AFK fighter sideclimbing while their entire team dies by rushing middle

I think introducing a BR change right now would be an issue, especially when I think we can all agree that HARMS are likely to be introduced in the near future, meaning that it would probably be more reasonable to change BRs after HARMs, respective of the performance of the new HARMs and SPAAs.
However, honestly I like how there is a noticeable change in top tier, as in my limited experience I’m not being instantly nuked by CAS…
I think the main way to make everyone happy is to just make separate ground modes, one without air, and one with air.
