it was brought to my attention that there are no maps on any of the gsa servers currently that have any jets, so i was wondering how many of the maps actually have jets?

 

the only one i can think of is kashan desert, yet the large map server only has it on 32 player map size. is there a reason for this, like were the planes really detrimental to gameplay? Otherwise it would be good to have at least one map with jets cause i havent flown one since the open beta for 0.6 and from what i remember they were greatly improved from 0.5.

Yes 64p Kashan is the only map with jets - no it will not be put back in rotation.

Even the PR DEVs agree that the jets are still too overpowered and need work.

AA is useless against them.

32p has the attack choppers, which are very dangerous when used by a skilled duo, especially with ground support, but are still vunerable and can be brought down.

Yeah, jets are immune to AA. Almost impossible to shoot them down with missiles. Your only chance is with an AAA cannon or a tank cannon. Good luck doing that against any pilot with half a brain.

Or to chase one into the ground...there aren't too many pilots out there who can evade and get away from a decent chase.

 

Not that I'm a good pilot, I'm just saying that my best course of action when getting tailed is to crash into the ground in a spectacularly n00bish way. Gets them every time!

hehe ok point taken. i hope they balance things in 0.7. vehicles are one of the uniquely well done aspects of the bf engine and it would be ashame for the jets to be neglected.

there will be some jets in 0.7

Wake island remake and (I think) Qinlang.

I suspect that the admins will be policing any t/ks for the jets very strictly.........as what usually happens is all spawn and run for the planes...hopefully they will be on a delayed spawn.........

They went to jet hell, where they belong.

We found that any map with jets brought out the BF2 Vanilla tard in everyone. There were intentional TK's, main base bombing, lots of whinging, people crashing after 20 seconds and wasting the asset, and 10 people from your team the airbase waiting for the plane for 20min. Added to the AA being completely ineffective against planes, with the only way to bring them down is for them to crash, planes went.

 

Choppers can do the same amount of damage as planes can, but they can be brought down by more means than crashing. So that is why we have choppers instead of planes. Even though choppers still bring out the tards, its far less than the planes were.
