Yeah it’s kinda demotivating, but unfortunately that’s all we can do… Maybe if we get enough attention gaijin will at least have EC on their list of possible additions.
If you do you’ll have full support from me and my buddies, it’s not much but it’s something lmao

Enabling the option for smaller matches should only find you small matches, with zero chance of 16v16. It’s an option afterall, it’s not forcing anyone to use it.

Just add différent spawn and always in the bigger maps. Gaijin need to focus on a new system of battle, a new gameplay. Something between Simulation and RB, like a PvPvE in Simulator maps with PvE objectives and waves to protect, escort (fox 3 can be very usefull there). ANd maybe like in Squadron battle with no ping and name above 1km for an exemple.

Guess what? You’re still facing 8 AIM-120s regardless of lobby size.
Your team reduces in size as well, thus the amount of missiles you face stays the same.
Also 16v16 isn’t status quo, 12v12 and 8x8 were.
The reason I stopped playing 5.7 air was cause it was 8v8.

I also often play 4.0-6.0, but I can always enter into 12v12 or 16v16 (in most cases) lobbies. You can turn off the option to enter into small lobbies to avoid entering into 6v6 or 8v8 lobbies as much as possible.
You have mistakenly applied the idea of averaging here. If the number of players decreases, the density of missiles will decrease throughout the entire map (the map size remains unchanged), and players who grind for modification will have more opportunities to survive in the first wave of attacks, which will greatly increase their gaming experience. In addition, regardless of whether the big or small lobby is better, overwhelming public opinion polls at least represent that players should have the opportunity to freely choose the size of the lobby.

It is right now.
That has been fixed, but it wasn’t bad due to 8v8. It was bad due to poor balance and ju-288 spam leading to boring and imbalanced matches.
I just want less player density since that will lead to less imbalanced matches, and longer matches.

I believe that changing from 16v16 to 8v8 will double the number of lobbies, allowing for better application of new matchmakers in top tier lobbies. For example, each br aircraft will only be matched with an equal br aircraft (such as 13.7 fighting 13.7, ensuring that their overwhelming Fox3 will not be used to bully 12.7 aircraft). If it’s not possible, it can at least help us go from ± 1.0 to ± 0.7 or smaller.

We need top tier enduring confrontation with tanks, planes and eventually top tier naval(when modern stuff is added.)
small bump
I deleted the game a few months ago after being a loyal fan (or hostage lol) for more than 5000 hours. The frustration was getting too much and there was too little being done to improve the game. Yeah a new update with new features was cool, for about 2 matches when the bullshit would shine through again.
I will come back once they make air rb fun again instead of the ADHD meth psychosis inducing ‘gameplay’ that it is now
this game has and will remain in a special place in my heart, but the last 2 years (around since the mig29 and f16 were added) it started going downhill FAST.
i hope they stop pandering to the brainrot gameplay it is now and that they will focus more on making it a bit more tactical, without turning it into SB.
i couldnt post this because i was inactive in game, so i literally had to do 1 match to be able to post this lol
I think a real solution would be to make an actual new gamemode for this. Sometimes, I want to be in a 16v16, especially when I’m playing a bomber or I’m in a strike aircraft OR im looking to grind a little bit more. 8v8 would be especially fun for if im in a jet, or want to play more strategically. I think the real solution is to add 16v16 (4 people max squad), 8v8 (2 people max squad), 4v4 (no squads), 2v2 (2 person squads, and a 1v1 mode. However, I think this would technically “increase” queue times so I think the real solution is just as how I proposed but with 16v16, 8v8, and 1v1. But gaijin won’t do that, because they’re lazy and focus on EVERYTHING except quality of life changes with maps and gamemodes.

honestly there are a lot of things that could be improved upon that would help the game tremendously, but knowing gaijin, the bare minimum is already too much. so i gave up on that idea.
literally all they need to do to make the top ranks bearable is reduce the team size from 16 to 8. thats it. thats the bare minimum needed to make it atleast somewhat bearable again.
it would ofcourse be the best if they made it into an EC style match, so ground strike aircraft could also PVE against convoys and other ground targets. but that will probably remain a dream

First thanks for @SXTREME For your idea, I dream to apply your idea to all game matches in arcade game mod and realistic game mod from BR 10 and above. This will make the game a better place for all players.
