Against 16 players, so it’s still 8 missiles per player, which in reality it’s usually 1 - 2 missiles per player.
Nukes for ground RB, and winning 1 v 5s in air RB which has been done by countless people.
I’ve never seen a 1v16 personally.
It isn’t just player numbers.
Maps are waaaaaaaaay too small - basically forcing 24 people into a close-range deathmatch where tactics don’t really matter. You will be detected within 10s of leaving the runway. So straight away we’re talking too damn close for modern air to air.
Within 30s of the game starting you are in range of the other team. Within 45s you will potentially have missiles (plural - usually quite a lot) hurtling towards you.
The result is a sort of brainless missile spam meta. Two teams just spawn in - lob missiles at each other, get killed or not - rinse and repeat. Fun, engaging or entertaining, it most certainly isn’t.
The real kicker is that it’ll only get worse. We’re currently ‘enjoying’ the first generation of Fox-3s. Just wait until you’re stuck on a postage stamp of a map with something like METEOR running around - the no-escape zone will cover most of the map.
I wasnt talking about Ground RB, its boring and worse than air rb
yes and ive done 1v7’s before, their alot of fun, but when the monkeys on my team all instantly die after climbing too high and trying to LARP and im left with a 1v14 or whatver it is, its impossible, even a 1v10 would be really hard at top tier
8x16 is still 128, and even if each player only fires 2, thats still 32 missiles
All 100% true.
yes, the maps are too small, thats why I like those EC, maps, their much better but still your instantly in detection range of the enemy team
Espically tomcat players, they love to fire all 6 of their AIM-54s as soon as they get to altitude
The meteor AIM-120D R77M PL-15/21, their all going to be insanly good, and imagine when the new american AIM-174B or AIM-260 are added, it wont be fair

Smaller pool matches net less rp and sl on average due to just less players (and more skilled players in thise matches as you have to actually turn it on so no zomies will ever show up there)
So why even bother in this grindy game? If they added more rp/sl sure. Otherwise smaller pool matches really only benefits base bombers in planes too slow to normally get there first and ground pounders (why gaijin doesnt want to in the first place).
Sure why dont you write from your main account?
I want to like your post but forums said I’ve like too many today so ima give you a smiley face :)

Quick, lets disagree on something and report me few times, that should balance things out.
:)
Hot take: Spain would have been a better subtree for Italy than Hungary

The maps aren’t small, they’re too congested. If the targets and spawn points were more spread out, air RB would be much better. However, that doesn’t stop 16v16 being awful and incredibly steamroll-y.
Matches like that happen at all BRs. Even playing prop RB, 1v5+ matches aren’t uncommon. It only gets worse the higher you go.
Not true, when you actually have an impact on a game youll get alot more rp and SL, if your defending against ARH’s all game, youll get nothing, also each kill will be more rewarding and make you want to play more
Thats what im saying, but at lower tiers theres no IRCCM and ARH missiles that you have to constantly defend against, its also alot more balanced, if a skilled player plays an aircraft right, theyll do well, but if you try to dogfight a spitfire/zero in a 109/p51, youll loose, but if you energy trap them, the 109/p51 will win, at top tier its simply, fly at enemy, shoot missile, theres no skill, also if you are skillfull, it dosnt mater because you cannot notch 3 missiles coming from 3 directions,
And we have them, the EC maps, their 250km by 250km, which still might be too small eventually, but if we had more targets spread out and more airfields, it would actually be alot of fun

You will still have to defend against them.
I get that its more FUN, but you have much more potential for kills in the knifefight that is 16v16, especially considering the only people opting in to smaller matches are generally better players… that means less day 1 premium etc. players to be free kills.
A considerable amount of kills ive gotten in the su39 is people that dont even flare the r60m let alone r73 they are just zombies. You wont find them in smaller matches.
Well yea ik that, and im pretty good at doing it. Its just when theres 3 coming from 3 different directions, it makes it kinda hard to notch
Or another option is for a 2 week period have 2 gamemodes, one with 10v10 and one with 16v16, which ever one has more players, is the one we keep.
Or have a vote on it
I admit i have a bit of a bias because I dont really have anything to grind anymore as I have everything I want and everything else is just copy+paste, so im just playing for fun atm
