Is there any game designer or balance team actually working on air AB? If they are, have they played air AB at the top tier in the past say three years? Because I don’t think they have. I think either no one is working on it, or the people who are haven’t spent any time in the game.
There are so many things that bother me in top tier air ab. For instance, what makes them think that 16 km or even 12 km is a good enough distance for top-tier jet with air spawns? Say, the distance between two air spawns on Mount Everest is around 12 km!!! And in most of the maps it is about 16 to no more than 20km. And less 5% maps is more than 20km. What made them decide that this is good enough distance and maps size for 32 players shooting AIM-7F, R-27ER, or even Fox 3 missiles shotting at each other? And why is the Domination mode even a thing when there are 32 players fighting in the middle of the map? Also, you know you’re selling the A-10 or SU-25 to new players, right? What do you expect them to do in this Domination mode? What about players play bombers? And don’t let me start on the BR or the multipathing things, just ridiculous.
