What can be done about the short matches?


From 12v12 to 3v2 in 4-5 minutes…

This change can’t be the jack of all trades but it’s a step into the right direction, especially in lower tiers.

Everyone wanted AHR missiles, Gaijin finally gave in. Matches are played on Maps designed for WW2 plane battles. This equals faster matches, and according to the forum want quick fast matches. Then people complain about the changes they wanted to happen. Then something new will be wanted, then people will complain about the new thing…

This is revisionist at best. Forum never asked for what you say unless you interpret it on purpose to try to find the monkey paw.

your saying the forum never asked for AHR missiles?

Indeed, but we need some changes that will actively push players to not go to the center of the map.
Also, ridiculous amount of missiles that top tier aircraft can carry surely doesn’t positively impact the game’s duration.

You think I was talking about that?

you failed to specify what you were referring too

nothing wrong with short matches. you get your kills quickly and move into a next match. if its stressful, oh no many things in life are stressful and combat games especially. thats how it should be, lets simulate how it feels. stress is normal and healthy part of life. go play props if you dont like it.

@AllNationEnjoyer see

See what?

plenty wrong with them actually

I prefer more thoughtful gameplay…not brainless.

Nobody is complaining that its just stressful and thats why they want it changed

long matches will basically be just looking around for some enemy staring at your radar. that is boring. why do you want that? why do you want to use your gaming time for inactive passive gameplay where most of the time nothing is happening and people need to use orders to try and find someone.
youre not thoughtful, youre just staring at a radar screen for 5 minutes, then a thing pops up and you go after it like a brainless chicken.
with these current matches you can be thoughtful about how you go around the furballs and what not.

No.

ah right you wont even be looking at your radar youll just fly straight and hope someone appears infront you for 10 minutes straight
how fun gameplay!

No, the maps right now are small to the point where it isn’t difficult to find people at all. Shit we literally play 12v12 matches sometimes already…

not right now but if you want the matches to stay long either you have to reduce the player amount so you wont find anyone because theres almost no one there or make maps ridiculously bigger so the player density also becomes smaller resulting in you having to fly around for 7 minutes per one engagement
oh and when someone finds you their whole team will gang up on you and then people will complain how its always 6vs1

12v12 is not some massive change from 16v16

dude the matches will take basically as long because both teams still follow each other and basically meet each other in middle and have another furball

It would extend matches by reducing the effect of force concentration while spreading a smaller amount of players over an equal sized map to before. It also makes matches much more individual skill based and less team based.
