Anyone hate people who use planes in GB?
Seriously, it's a TANK focused gamemode. Use tanks, not planes. I play GB to get away from planes, not to get a bomb dropped on me by some person who just wants easy kills because they can't get kills against other planes.

I just wish planes weren't abused in GB, sure, let some planes be used so AA has a purpose but some people just get a single tank and a bunch of planes to score easy kills.

Yeah i know what u mean... Its the same with planes but in this case the problem is the bomber spam.

It would be an easy fix if Gaijin just add a limitation like for example 2 or 3 planes max at the same time and the same with bombers.

It would be a very nice addition.

Yeah it would be but for now i would recommend u to take any fighter the fast as u can and "clean" the sky, then go back to your tank.

I like planes in Tank battles. It is the salt in the soup. I whish, you could enter a battle from the beginning with a plane.

U can but only in Tank SB, and it works great in my opinion, if u are plane of course cuz u can destroy them before they get into the cap point

They only annoy me when people use them in AB to kamikaze with.

Move to RB, planes in RB are pretty nerfed...
Its pretty hard to spot tanks unless you do somthing silly like try to shoot at planes when they cant see you or if you are moving. Also theres no markers or targeting or bomb reticules for divers.

Go to tank SB so I can drop a bomb on you with my P47 :P

In RB? In RB they have more reasons to be there.
  1. its not that easy to destroy a vehicle with rockets or canons or even bombs.
  2. if they die they pay repairs which can hurt a lot.
  3. they use Simulator Battles flight model so the plane controls is rather harder than a normal RB Air battle.
  4. not everyone can use them, you gotta reaserch planes to use them (and buy them)
  5. You got SPAA to protect, if your team doesn't have it (which is rare since is the easiest thing to spawn) then bad luck of yours
  6. Spotting a tank from the air isn't as easy as you think. (add also that you got cover for your tanksu)
  7. Your team does get planes as well to counter them
  8. You got maps where the airfield is miles aways and most of the airfields are so small that it is rather hard to land... Specially when using big planes or jets
  9. They do are affected by the matchmaker so you won't face a 9.0 F-86F-25 while using a 1.0 line-up
  10. Most maps are urban maps making it harder to planes to fly low for a more accurate bombing
  11. bombers don't have the arcadey reticle anymore meaning bombing with them isn't the easiest
  12. Makes the game more realistic
Conclusion: imo seems you haven't played planes in tanks RB and you just seem another frustrated tanks-only guy who hates the planes because they are the easiest when clearly they aren't.

What they should do is change the way how you spawn with a plane on AB. Why not make it just like in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RB? You can only spawn with a plane from your loadout (but instead of requiring those annoying points, you could spawn it freelly on AB).

Other than that, im fine with planes as long there is an incentive to play with them normally instead of just kamikaze over someone else so you can return to your tank.

I play both planes and tanks, I only play RB for tanks and play both AB and RB for planes. It's less common for me to get bombed on the urban maps but when it's open fields it's just a plane kill fest.
