Then you will need to learn how to defend against SAMs being fired at you.
Sure there are certainly some tweaks that could be made to aircraft, such as moving the spawns further away. But to expect to be able to bomb with impunity is unrealistic.
Again, sure these can be added, but they shouldnt make aircraft immune to attack. Only add another level to the fight. Though something like the IRIS-T SLM would be largely unaffected by either.
Since I dont think real players consent to being bombed by, well, anything, I suppose you gotta work for it.
Let me ask you this, why your targets have to be real players? Whats wrong with AI targets?
If I wanted to play against A.I I would not be grinding a multiplayer game.
Because you keep insisting on use of iron bombs and rockets for historical reasons.
Hey man, ultimately, I know you will again say that realism is a spectrum, but judging by your pools, you are alone on this.
I’ll die on this hill then.
Then get better at it. You are choosing to take worse weapons and complaining that it is harder.
That is like someone going “I want to main heatfs in top tier but everyone has era and composite armor. why cant they nerf that armor so it is easier to use heatfs?”
You are free to do so, as you are free to use iron bombs and rockets on top tier planes for CAS.
Just dont go out of your way to say that it is unfair to you that other players dont want to get bombed.
