I am noticing a lack of bases at mid to high tiers for people to bomb. Overall, as it currently stands there are 16 players per match and only 4 bases. With firebombs people can simply wipe out the entire base and J out if they please for the RP. I do not care how people play whether it’s base bombing in a premium fighter or how they choose to grind the tree. What I have seen is that there is just not enough bases for more than perhaps 2 people in a match full of 16 players and AI is not worth attacking for the very low rewards Gajin implemented making the grind difficult for everyone.
My recommendation is increasing the number of bases for people to bomb or decreasing the spawn time so new bases can spawn after the old bases have been destroyed. Apart from fighters, strike aircraft. The bombers who only really have one feasible objective in game are currently not rewarded as much as I would be in a fighter. I know Gajin has been implementing new gamemodes with good rewards like Nuclear Escalation however ARB is still the casual way to grind a tree as it stands.

It’s also a great way to make bombers not just be forced to quit the match upon seeing four Wyverns!

How about decreasing the amount of reward for fighters and increasing bomber and striker rewards for doing their designated objectives. Which will fix the zomber problem
I think a 50% decrease of damage and rewards from fighters is a worthy penalty. A 25% reward boost for strike planes, and maybe a 35% for bombers.

That still won’t stop some strike craft from taking multiple bases, or if there are more than 4 people bombing per team.
I think Gaijin should at minimum reduce the respawn timer to 30 seconds at most, rather than the multiple minutes it’s at now.

It is less work for a fighter to carry bombs and bomb a base for 50% decrease as their speed and agility will cause them to turn into a fighter right after. A bomber and strike aircraft does not have that luxury. The zomber is also something I’ve never heard before? Can you explain?
All Air maps need to follow the concept from the Nuclear Thunder event, minus the drugged AA.
1 - Spread out ground units further and stop putting everything in the dead center of the map. Have 3 or 4 separate parts of the map.
2 - Like near the end of the NT event, raise rewards for hitting Ground targets and reduce Air to Air rewards, but not so much that you lose balance. Players need rewards for BOTH and not force them into PvP purely. The game should highlight on PvPvE type mode.

Let’s not allow more people to zomb their way to top tier.
Adding more bases will just mean more people have an excuse to only do spacebar gameplay

People can already Zomb their way to top tier with premiums. At this point I rather folks just get the rewards they’re playing for.

Guy with almost zero skill except for mashing spacebar with his F-4S. Commonly known as “Bombies”, “Zombers”, and “Free Food”
Ah yes, let’s ask for features that result in the playerbase getting worse and makes the game less healthy than it already is

Zomber = Fighter who flys in a straight line to bomb a base
Many are level 40 or lower with little to no experience with jets and bomb because they refuse to learn.

it’s already worse and less healthy if people only want to play bombers and bomb with premiums while I play fighters and now more only do that it changes nothing. Best you can do to get what you want in ARB is squad up and tell them all only fighters or you’re kicked guarantee you better Win rates and kills with that but for solo players it doesn’t make a difference.
Solo players have to deal with people who do not care and will make the grind for ourselves even harder.
So, instead of asking for stuff that would make the game better you’re asking to make the game worse.
just great
Lowering the skill floor for literally anything makes the game worse.
It already is low enough already
Only fighters? I wonder what strike / bomber aircraft are.
Doing their job…

the skill floor is what gajin bases their changes on not the 90% win rate 200 k/d user who squads up and takes out team after team. The realism is Gajin is also greedy on their end making modifications extremely painful to even get with kill aircraft. The only losers to not having more bases and RP is gamers. Plain and simple, you’re not going to fix the game by getting rid of bases when premiums already exist.
Definitely not being just as useless for their team (because base barely costs any tickets). Or even worse considering they will perform worse than fighter after dropping their bombs.
