this capturing an airfield buy landing thing sucks

[Doe_36]

its stupid why cant we just dog fight and shoot vehicles ? landing the plane so i can get shot at is really really frustraiting and dumb as dog s h i t , what kind ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ came up with this stupid idea for flying game play

[Der Lachende Mann]

I like domination, it's the only maps where I use mostly fighters, on ground attack I tennd to use more bombers.

Also you don't have to land, just roll over the airfield, with a P-51 or Fw-190 you can do that with over 400 km/h.

some one needs more practice in both landing and situational awareness

"flying game mode" the game should concentrate on dog fighting and less on landing

[Spaddobird]

Play RB. problem solved.

What he meant was that you need to pick your time to land for when there are few enemies in the area or they're all distracted by your teammates (or both) and then come in for a touch-and-go - getting down enough to put the wheels on the ground and roll along, but you don't have to stop. You can capture a landing strip just by rolling along it at 400kph.

Of course, even with that speed you are still vulnerable (can't exactly turn or manoeuvre) which is why you wait for most of the enemy to be either elsewhere or distracted. If you can't manage the high speed touch-and-go capture, then just provide cover for the teammates who can. Maybe practice a bit in the test flight.

And as Spaddobird suggested, if you don't want Domination maps then just play Realistic Battle. While there are objectives, a vast majority of them end when one team runs out of planes. Just be mindful that the only way to resupply on ammo and ordinance in RB is to land at an airfield (the same one you take off from at the beginning of the round).

realistic battle no thanks just as many mouse aimbots , the only reson i play arcade is you get more respawns

[Procrastinating Gamer]

Aimbots can't really work in this game - an aimbot that shifts your aim to the right position would adjust your plane's flight path, possibly too much for the airframe to actually manage. Imagine a slow-turning plane like a Bf 109 trying to turn after a nimble Spitfire. Are you sure it's not just people coming at you from the right angle and aiming for things like your control surfaces?

Even in arcade, how you approach the target and where those bullets hit specifically count for far more than anything else. And an aimbot would probably only aim centre-mass, which is the worst place to aim for a plane unless there's a good chance you'll ventilate the cockpit or are shooting at a bomber and need to kill some of his gunners.

i ment just as many people in realistic battle fly with mouse (mouseaimbot) meaning the mouse flys for you the operator just points and clicks and you only get one spawn in realistic mode , that is another issue i have with the game

[Procrastinating Gamer]

I use the mouse myself and believe me when I say that it's not as easy as you make it sound. In Arcade, maybe, but I haven't played Arcade in ages. But in Realistic you have to make the most out of your plane's manoeuvrability and play to its strengths. It's not just about how you're controlling the plane, it's the strategy of flying it - the stuff that doesn't change regardless of your control method. Precision aiming does nothing if you can't get yourself into a position to make the most of it, believe me. Having a better understanding of your aircraft's flight mechanics than the other guy counts for far more in Realistic than any aiming ability.

And even with mouse flight, I'm still routinely using A and D to control my roll manually because I might need to turn faster than the Instructor thinks I need to. And pulling a half-loop practically requires that I use Page Down to raise my elevators, I just cannot pull that manoeuvre off with just the mouse.

Easiest thing is high speed capping, I can cap at over 300 mph with WEP on and be gone. Watch the vid it's not that hard. Get good points and make sure to use a small propped plane.

Domination is EXACTLY the gamemode you should be playing if you like to "dog fight and shoot vehicles". There is always an intense furball going on over top of the central airfield and, unlike Ground Strike, bombers cannot come to completely ruin your match.

capping the airfield needs to be nerfed the ticket bleed is unforgiving , yer sure i could dog fight but as soon as that airfield is capped by the enemy than you are forced to play the objective and cap the airfield or the game will be over in seconds

Then don't let them cap in the first place - watch out for anyone manoeuvring for a landing or, if the enemy hold the airfield, keep the enemy back while a teammate caps. If you can't manage the touch-and-go yourself then make it safe enough for a teammate to do it.

I wish we could choose game modes, I'd always play domination :)
