That would be someone who lands at airfields that have no AA and then complains about being killed on them because they have no AA.
the team? I have a team?? :p
No, a noob would be someone commenting on a thread about Air Simulator who has not only an abysmal TWELVE games in sim… but … drum roll… ZERO AIR KILLS!
41k games in arcade and a classic case of Dunning-Kruger :p
Denmark is literally one of hugest map entire the SBEC.

This is true for both teams. You can spawn in another airfield further away that isn’t under attack (with a longer travel time) or risk being killed while having a shorter path to any objective.
You can also minimize chances of getting strafed on landing by not landing on the runway itself - its much harder to be seen if you hide next to the tents, hangars, etc.
Literally happened to me yesterday. Pretty annoying and wish there was at least one airfield that was infinitely protected.
But Denmark is actually very small, due to terrain and too many airfield, the actual airport spacing is only 60-70KM.
Fly a 350 km/h-400 km/h plane over 100-120 km where the objective (A points) expires by the time you arrive. Naval planes would get around this, but if I feel like flying germany/italy or russia I don’t have this option. Even when I do, the aircraft carrier is beyond stupid and likes to drive off the edge of the world being useless.
I hate event periods in props. People spam maps absolutely NOT suited for BRs 3.0-5.7 and make it a bloody quest to find an actual fun lobby.
Smolensk is the only 128x128 map (and Dover strait with its kinda middle ground size) that works for props due to airfield placement and the LARP of being actual WW2 battlefields.
In higher BRs with Rolands if the C8 airfield doesn’t spawn the northern team has to fly 80km to any objectives and most players. I generally prefer to fight over land. So if Im in a MIG21 with full fuel by the time I find anyone I have to turn around or fight with a severe disadvantage. Meanwhile the southern team is farming the SE corner in peace.
This has the effect of regularly making Denmark ‘larger’ than the other 128km2 maps.
Gaijin would notice this if they ever played sim… but they don’t and won’t.

Sometimes I truly despair about the state of this community…
Vets do this, not noobs. Nobbs dont even know which airfields have this bug.
noobs find out when they pick denmark (which is ALWAYS in play for every BR range) and pick an AF in the SE corner… and get killed in spawn…
and then do it themselves.
Although this is also a issues for lazy veterans too.

It’s not just Denmark and it’s making the game unplayable.
Having safely landed at an airfield that’s not flashing yellow only to get jumped by an enemy while you’re waiting for your aircraft to reload is an absolute joke.

another issue is that even on AF that have AA working the SPAA symbols now cover the airfield making it impossible to see the flashing…
So you can be coming in to land with someone on your six and the warning isn’t visible.
There is ZERO reason to show AF SPAA on the map since they respawn when killed anyway…
Another example of a change that wasn’t thought through…

Its good to have new players in sim, but we should expack how thay would play, if thay continue thay will rapidy loose all of SL and start to think of it.
I have been shot down at.the airfield many times too, and when I spown SSAP starts to shoot missails and I dont even have started engine. I think this problem will solve itself on tis owne. Also what could be the solution?
At what BR does this happen, I played 2 weeks ago at 12.0, and the airfield was shooting rolands.
Yea, playing 10.7 recently the airfields are also all defended. However, at prop tiers they’re not - it might be the change from flak to Rolands which gives the defences back to all airfields?
Let’s make a bet … will they fix the bug for props … or will they expand it to jets ? XD
if you checked the bug report you’d see it was only for props… which Im guessing you didn’t.
You certainly didn’t upvote it since its still on 3 upvotes.
I keep getting ‘something went wrong’ when I try to follow the link- might be why few can upvote?
