More Planes in PR

If you have two teams with CAS aircraft, you need air superiority planes also. Otherwise you'll have the unrealistic scenario of two ground pounders trying to hit each other, and the AH trying to jihad into an A-10.

The speeds are unrealistically slow, but I don't think this is much of a problem.

I agree that two seater bombers would be great. Would it be possible to make the bombs like TV missiles, but with much less control, to simulate an actual laser designated bomb, where the control is achieved by airflow over fins?

I'm all for this idea, personally i love sukoi's, (especially that tail slide move,) but with the Su would come bigger maps

. Anyway the main reson of this post was to ask how Su-37 is pronounced. I've heard people saying "ess you" but in falcon 4 AF they all say "soo thirty-four".... and was wondering which ones right?

'[R-CON wrote:DJJ-Terror']So what are you saying, shud we remove planes from Al Basrah?

I am not suggesting anything, just pointing out that some aircraft might be difficult to implement realistically.

Shut up about Removing Aircraft, Just cause you dont fly them and we have the vBF2 Nubs at the moment dosnt mean they should go, BF2 is about full Combined Arms Warfare, and as they said removing Fighters only Makes it worse, when the Maps get Bigger it will be better as the Devs Said so keep ya trap shut for now

I agree, anyway planes can be fun fot the pilot (one or maybe two players) but I don't think they are so funny for the people on feet (all the others) bombed again and again without can do nothing at all (perhaps die in the AA fixed position). I hate Gulf of Oman.

Please put planes only in big maps with some AA vehicles.

"Ooh, this is not fun for me! So pretty pretty please take them away!!11!!1"
Seriously, it doesnt work that way. Aircrafts should be in till the rest of the patches and why is that? Because they really use them, because the can make a difference and because they provide awesome tactical changes when used right.

Tried them once, were not my thing so I can speek as "not 1337 pilot" who just wants to keep his whoring tools.

That's the point: I don't see such a tactical changes apart from bring hell on a flag you see turning white.

Tell me what's your tactical effort in maps like Gulf Of Oman when you are USMC and don't have a plane under your ***, seriously.

Anyway I think a better way to use planes in PRMM would be if pilots can't see infantry on minimap (only vehicles) neither the flags when turning white. This added to the ability of the commander/sq.leader to call an air attack would be a more interesting use of the planes.

Uh, another thing:

"Ooh, this is not fun for me! So pretty pretty please take them away!!11!!1"

Dementt don't confuse me with a children moaning because I get killed by planes, I'm not my number of post on this forum and I know the game.

offtopic:
that was an awfully kind response.

ontopic:
more calculations,
i recall reading somewhere that the fog of war is set to 400m, pls correct me if i am wrong. if we again take the example of our aircraft flying at a speed of 1000 km/h, this means that an object is visible for 1.4 sec for the pilot before he/she has passed the object.
to make is even more complicated, does anyone know if the bombs, missils or rockets that aircraft carries needs a certain distance or time to arm, meaning that nelow a certain distance or time to device will not explode?

OT again:
i am sry for complicating things. yes, i can be ignored. and yes again, i cant fly very good, however since i die so very often it doesnt really matter if i die from a handheld weapon or from something an aircraft dropped.

ops:

Flying full speed is daft.

I thought it was IRL. Perhaps Im mistaken.
