Still waiting for smaller Air RB lobbies

Game Discussion Realistic Battle
1

Top tier got an option for smaller lobbies but I don’t think even those players have noticed a difference in lobby size. This is ridiculous, every patch is a furball where the only skill that matters is being able to manage complete sensory overload.

You cannot simply ignore the furballs either because not contributing means your team is likely to fold, leaving you to deal with ten enemies after all your friends are dead.

Genuinely the most fun I’ve had in air RB are the 6.0 matches where there are so few players that it ends up being a 4v4 or a 8v8. We need to have smaller lobbies. 6-8 players per team is enough.

I’m enjoying the lower intensity that larger matches bring. Less stress, less pressure.

I agree we need small lobbies but it cant be done with the current economy system

I’ve played a bit of 12v12 and games played out just as those 16v16, so I doubt you can stop people from furballing.

Anything under 10 players in top tier is too low in my opinion as planes there carry simply too many missiles.

The smaller the lobby the more likely 100% of a team is in a furball.

12v12 is the default for WT, never call it small

1 Lower tier is a thing
2 msl/plane ratio is kept high regardless of players, but threat amount will shrink.

16v16 is the default and 12v12 is the smaller variant.

Please read my sentences before responding.
I was specifically talking about top tier.

Planes with 8-10 really powerful missiles being in a 6v6 lobby seems out of place.

Gaijin expanded team size to save servers only a few years ago

Leaves place for tactics, not 8x32=256 msls at a time, not 8 people rushing into 8 people on both sides of the map, not 4kills outta msls and still ton of people, not 1v31

Skill issue if you found msls too powerful, and balance + BR compression issue ofc still exists

What?

For me spacial awareness is infinitely easier than the pressure of higher percentage of a match being on my shoulders.

So it’s default now.

It’ll still evolve into a furball.
12 people with 8 missiles each is too much.

Just need another game mode for 8v8’s, 4v4’s, 2v2’s, and 1v1’s.
Specifically one that doesn’t involve waiting an entire day for a specific time to join.
