Why have ground target objectives in air RB?

[Pozieres]

I find that 99% of battles I play it ends with one side loosing all their aircraft, you ether win in the air or snap them when they land. So why have ground targets? It seems superfluous

It's how it works.

i have won matches solo as last man running around at low altitude in a wyvern (or other fast attacker but the wyvern is best) playing hit and run against ground targets, and also as part of a squad of bombers blitzing all the bases. just because 'most' matches are treated as death-matches doesnt mean there shouldnt be objectives there for other playstyles

[Futuristic Hexagon]

I have seen games won by both bases and/or ground objectives. Usually involves certain things happening and attacker/bomber pilots being very aware of their situation and avoiding fighters.

I have also seen some won by fighters that had guns that could pen the ground targets too, while the last guy on the other team was basetrolling.

I am fairly new to air RB but out of the 40-50 games I have played not once have I seen a game won by ground objectives, but it seems it is a common thing to happen from the comments. It wold be nice to see more ground attack based game play rather than an air superiority swam in the middle of the map
