BF2S Forums Should Jets be removed from BF2, replacing them with Helos?

Understood, what do you have in mind?

Enemy Stupid Idea Spotted

decals on the planes
and more catapults for cows and stuff to launch at planes

i still say the best thing would be is a pilot who team plays and is in a squad and coordinates with the squad leader and the leader can call the pilot in for bombing runs, like calling in an air strike.

the battlefield series in the first place is different from other FPS since they include all sorts of vehicles.. helos,planes,tanks,jeeps, +infantry battles.. removin jets from the equation would make battlefield well.. not battlefield anymore..

Exactly!

I would love to see more helos like the littlebird from DC.

I'm torn.

On one hand you have a nice little teamwork that gets use in the "bombers" making a pilot and co-pilot work together to rack up the points. On the other F-15s shouldn't drop bombs. You can't outright remove jets from the game, they were in BF1942 and Nam so it is consistant that the game has them. From playing Joint Operations I know that the game could easily function without jet aircraft. Most of the maps would be fine without jets, just add a transport chopper or two and everything would be fine. Probably would have to add an extra mobil AA but thats fine by me.  Only the really large maps can use jets to where they make sense. Zatar, Kubra Dam, Clean Sweep, and Fushi pass are all that come to mind where jets would be really valuable to have. Make them like the B17 from 1942, it was in only a handful of maps and people were sure to use it.

So how does the current model operate without being considered CAS. I donno about you, but when I'm flying I fly a CAS style. I look for targets of opportunity and I take out that tank that might be threatening the CP. So what would an A-10 or Su-25 do differently than what I do now in my Mig-29?

The answer. TRUE sorties. Make it required to land to resupply. Get rid of this stalling at 300 crap. But at least make it a challange to land so less people want to fly.  Whatever happened to a Spec Ops guy pointing a laser and a jet drops the bomb for the kill? I would have LOVED that. And it would just be like the artillary was in 1942. Give the A-10/Su -25 a handful of weapons so while its out there its deadly as hell but has at least a min and a half "rearm time". Think of it like this, the A-10 goes into battle with lets call it 4 laser guided weapons. 4 dumb bombs, 2 cluster bombs and 2 Aim 9 Sidewinders for self defense purposes. Not to mention it has a nice little cannon onboard. The Su-25 would have a rather similar package.

I know its more of a dream than anything else, but if they would have realized you can't have the same style maps as 1942 and just turn it into modern weaponry.

This is the most rediculous "debate" I have ever seen!
Battlefield has always been about all aspects of the game, THAT INCLUDES JETS! If you want something that is just infantry and helos, play something else.

Oh WAH! Planes make more points than me! But rather than learning to fly, I'm gonna complain about it! If you want points, go medic whore on karkand.

While I do think jets should have their own maps like a booster pack or something, I beleive they should have had A-10's and Harriers in order to provide some close air support instead of random bombing runs and dogfights.

The Armoured fury expansion will have A10's.

lol
people just dont appreciate the beauty and complexity of this game

we should have a mandatory iq check before you can play online

some people won't rest until everyone has the same gun at the same rate of fire and everything is equally killable by all classes at all times at any range, and any exemplary show of skill is derrided and mocked as whoring.

I want a three team map.

LOL. Go play CS or Quake 4.

Yeah,and while were at it,remove the PKM and give the support a super soaker filled with soapy water so he can blind the enemy,the assault class gets a boxing-glove-launcher which knocks out people,let's bring back bunnyhopping,but more extreme,like Kangaroohopping,so we can jump from roof to roof on Karkand....

And I don't like those helmets,they look so brutal,why don't give them funny party hats instead?

"The stupid idea is in control,we're losing this battle..."
