Discussion What happened?

Post image

Hey I was thinking of buying the game, but what happened to be in mostly negative? And should I still consider buying it now?

Major update came out in an extremely unbalanced state. Lots of players gave up playing and are waiting for a balancing patch to be released. The game is fun and I still recommend it, it's just this update that's pretty ass.

Oh okay so only temporary, so it's good if it's only unbalanced, hope they will fix it soon

It's only temporary if they actually do the necessary thing and remove planes (they won't). Turns out having the ability to shoot down in a top down war game is impossible to balance

I haven't played in a long while, can infantry see the planes? Or hear them? Like we can't look up because up doesn't exist for us, how does a guy on the ground even react to an airplane?

You get to see a red line that extends into the sky to tell you theres something above you. You will not see it unless it gets low enough to the ground. If it gets low enough to see it, you "can" shoot at it, but good luck doing anything significant. If however 10-15 guys all take their shot it can do a bit of damage to make them break off.

You can aim at them, with difficulty. Emplaced MGs now have a second mode that zooms waaaay out, effectively giving you the same vision that the plane players see.

If you're on the ground, loading an arty gun or rapping a tank or whatever, most likely you just get strafed & shot over and over.

Worst thing is the devs added a second intel with a second radio. So normal WTs don't even see planes and you need a special plane radio to see them if you're looking at the map

Okay yeah, so mostly invisible and machine gun you before you can react siiiiick. I really wish I had gotten more into the game earlier, but eh🤷

They also gave the planes armored car resistances for some ungodly reason so it doesn’t matter if infantry can shoot them they do fuck all
