I was so excited to unlock the F14 and F16 but honestly what a huge disappointment it has been.

The Air RB game mode needs a serious overhaul. Who honestly can say they enjoy a mode where over powered missiles fly at you from any direction?

You are basically forced to rush into every battle because if you try to play it safe and flank, you will miss out on the match and be stuck waiting for a 10v1 to be over.

These devs need to make serious changes.

Here’s my idea,

(I understand it may be a little over the top.)

Big map, multiple air bases with their own SAM, respawns enabled, no game end and come and join as you please.

Put in some objectives that need bombing and make it so a BRA (even a dumbed down version for beginners ) is given to find enemy planes.

This works good for Cold War Enigma in DCS, why not War Thunder.

You could even have a round based 1v1 matchmaking mode just to mix things up. Kind of like Gun Fight in Modern Warfare. It changes the pace and keeps your game time feeling fresh.

Put some fucking effort in Gaijin or lose your player base and revenue.
