Personally.
I still miss being able to cap points with aircraft.

Air RB EC
(if it returns, I hope it includes the Prop ones and not just jets)
–
I remember it used to get announced something like late Thursday or on Friday that it was going to be running on the Sat/Sun… and the meme version of my reaction would be something like:
Me: “Hey honey, I know we’re meant to go to a wedding this weekend, but can we not go…? and just meet everyone later?”
Her: “what do you mean not go? … you’re the GROOM… IT’S OUR WEDDING!!!”
Me: “I know… but … … Air RB EC!”

White Rock Fortress, was one of the few maps that I actually enjoyed playing on.

Historical matchmaking, I.E. Axis vs Allies (for later tiers NATO vs Warsaw Pact could be added). It was so much more immersive, and I feel like easier to balance as well.

This could be expanded to historical battles in general, so we’d have something like the Iran–Iraq War where it’s a mix of vehicles used in that war on specific maps.

Oil covering the canopy when you suffer engine damage or fly too close to a wounded aircraft.
Canopy having visible bullet holes after you get hit and the shell misses your pilot so you survive, or your pilot took injury but not lethally.
Droplets of rain smearing across your canopy when flying through a cloud.

I’m pretty sure you can still cap points with the Harriers and other VTOLs, and I don’t feel like checking. I know helicopters still work, but I think it would be funny if you could land any plane and cap a point. Bring it back.

I second the return of once a day x2 rp, AND once a day x5 on saturdays/sundays.
you can with VTOL and Helies. But on open field maps it was much fun to land with an aircraft to decap or cap a point. They removed it because they probably thought it was “unfair” to tank players somehow.
WW mode dogfight .
It was markerless, you had respawns , no take-off etc. just entry-exit points. I could play all day that thing.
Chinese Farm, i grinded all Soviet t5/6 (there was no 7/8 back there, so the RP needed was like 7/8 now) in a MiG 17 …against Phantoms. There i undertsood how much ARB misses from not having markerless mode. Also it was pure air superiority fight, you had to cap an area in the air…
Also in WW mode , they had other match types in them like SPAA vs planes etc.
The other thing , historical events. Either implemented good or bad they gave the game a different vibe. There was an alternative to play/grind instead of the RB all he time.
I could say EC as well, however it’s my third on the list.

I don’t that could really be done as a main gamemode, but having that as and event (similar to sim battles, where every week or so it switches to a different war/battle scenario) would be facking awesome to see

In Honor of @richthofen122 , I say the “removed” three German Tanks (Panther II, Flakpanzer 341, Tiger II 10.5cm) But more specifically, Gaijins more liberal vehicle standards of the early days. An addition like the E100 would be unthinkable nowadays.

international events was why, but yes they should be returned, but only when requested by the player
