Am I the only one who misses wingkills?

It was great lulz to mow down everyone unfortunate enough to stand on open terrain in 1942...

Jets are too fast and the increasing complexity of maps makes going below 20 metres certain death in aircraft -.-

Give me my Messerschmitt, Spitfire, Zero and Mustangs back :< Maybe we could get a Cyberpunk style battlefield game with prop-aircraft and old-school FLAK AA? :3

I'm sure it's possible, but it was so easy in the old prop-craft :3

I actually really like all the vehicles in this game allot. I just wish that the vertical mouse look on the helicopters actually worked that way it's supposed. That being said the AA missile on the helo is the most OP shit I've ever seen.

Helicopters get anti-air? O.o

That seems to defy logic to me... I thought jets and AA was supposed to counter helicopters... That'd make more sense to me

Jets and AA also get missile fuckhead. Helis get them too now. But jets still rape helicopters if the two fight each other.

That was pretty obvious "fuckhead", it's just that helicopters have always had a "ground-pounding"-role

basically : you can't , or not really , half of the buttons "doesn't exist"

I gotta use a certain button for the brake instead of the throttle

A giant red triangle appearing over your head telling everyone "kill me" because EA/DICE is too lazy to give us a good ol fashioned UAV system.

Well, I just flew a jet for the first time.  Fuck how does anyone get any kills?  I can fly around easy enough.  Dodge planes and AA missles but damn everytime I go to shoot down a plan all I get is a "Disabled Vehicle" shit.  Its so easy for the pilot to bale its not even funny.  There aren't  consequences for losing an air battle.  Whats the point of jets if jets can't attack ground?  Thats why you need jets in the first place is to ether get air superiority or pound the enemy troops on the ground.  The gun barely works on the planes even up close.  Sorry the jets in this game burn me.

Against heli's, jeeps, and planes they're good, strafing infantry, tanks, aa they're useless.

Once you unlock heatseekers and flares they're very adept at dogfighting, especially if the other planes have neither, remains to be seen how useful the air to ground missiles are

The fire extinguisher is pointless as you have to choose between that or IR flares...

It's not too often you get disabled if you're a good pilot, especially when you have IR flares, yet without them you can't break any missile locks as they can seemingly turn on the spot and never lose you even if fired at 180o to you
