AIRPLANES/JETS

[L 0 C K E T]

Will we ever see fighter planes on the skies above Squad as mountables and not mere assets?

[Maki Nishikino]

They exist but only as an asset a commander can call in.

maps are barely big enough to hold 4 helicopters. jets are impossible. you will be outside of map boundaries 2 sec after doing CAS at any point and also it will break balance hard because there are no proper anti air systems to counter jets. and if they add such systems, then flying heli will become impossible.

They should add remotely controlled drones and anti-air equipment (that could be used against both player controlled and AI-controlled assets). As for piloted jets, I remember in battlefield pilots would get a bigger combatzone range so that they don't get killed by leaving the combat zone so it could be technically implemented in Squad as well, but would require a lot of work, making maps much larger, but hey, that would add to immersion tremendously.

Lol they can't even get the game to run properly bro. Time to adjust those expectations... sorry to say.

remember buying the game because they made us believe this:

BF4 has jets and attack helicopters and the maps are a fraction of the size of most of the maps in Squad.

BF4 has paper aircraft and gliders that defy gravity.

I somewhat disagree it would make it harder to fly helicopters but the learning curve for helicopters will definitely increase for the fact how low to the ground they would have to fly. Helicopters are still used today even if anti air is a big threat

Besides if they add more flying stuff and stuff to counter flying stuff it means even less players for infantry roles.

When you want a vehicle centric game go play war thunder instead, its already borderline too many vehicles in Squad i think. MBT's have already been a step too far imo, should have left it at APC's and IFV's.

yeah, with short view distance and completely unrealistic flight models on mostly densely built up maps.

Any even halfway realistically done Attack Heli in Squad would lead to every round resolving around that one asset - Tanks are already powerful, but they can be tracked by a single LAT, drive on a mine and most importantly can't be at 5 different spots in 10 minutes unloading autocannon fire and unguides rockets.

Would completely break the game and when you add AA roles and vehicles to counter it you have like 10 ppl in every team completely occupied with the "(counter)air game", just no.

If they triple the maps in size and double the player number per server, maybe, but that won't happen with current tech.
