Instead of ground support why not dive bombers or attack aircraft like the ju 87

I mean its kinda the same role, but I've called it ground support because for the most part its just supporting infantry.

I like it but tone down damage for autocannons if you can squadron multiple

Maybe remove ground support from squadrons instead?

Alr I’d take that illyt

What If I put a wall around the runway in not explosion claims

i guess there might have to be a rule against that

I think this would be awsome

illyt this is great but there will still be missiles right? that is the best part about bombers rn

So my issue is that I think aircraft should be absolutely devastating against infantry. As in if there is a ground attack craft out, you don't go for the banner. Also I think airfield range should be increased to 1000 and all bombs should fly forward in my opinion.

Tbh there also should be an air region that would be awesome

ashes that is dumb, first aircraft would be too powerful at that if they did a whole lot of damage to infantry, i dont mind the range buff and bombs going forward would be difficult to hit

Raptor, your counterargument kind of disregards the existence of AA and... other fighters. It's meant to promote more ultimatums in sieges and reward adequate planning. As for bombs, a bomb sight might be useful, I just think that bombs falling straight down at the moment can be an issue because something like a tank or ship can easily dodge a bomb dropped even at low altitude due to movecraft's stuttering nature.

it is kindof hard to aim as it is and it is a whole lot easier to calculate for how your enemy will move rather than that and the movement of your bombs. as for the idea of an ultimatum, the plane must do less dps than an ifv as ifvs need to be the strongest anti player vehicle so they are useable but still i think the issue would be squadroning planes and fireing all at once on banner just outhitting players before they can heal. basically they need to be worse than ifvs and a consiterable amount weaker. my issue to restate is not the premise of an anti player plane gun (dont let it destroy blocks) but that your wording makes it seem like an instant kill weapon.

as a pvper, I think this idea is

Runways would be great. I can pretty much never use planes cause how inconvenient they are in nations but runways would help fix that

To reply to you Raptor, that was kind of the idea- something that would do horrors to infantry to FORCE them to field their own AA and/or fighters.

As for the issue with them replacing IFVs, I do see your point and cannot think of a counterargument at the moment, but I also don't want to just leave it at that. Only thing I can think of is that an IFV doesn't need a carrier or a runway and doesn't need to worry about parked ones getting bombed by artillery and/or enemy bombers.

Sure am ifv doesn’t have to deal with that but they die to like 3 shells and give points when killed

What if Strike Aircraft were able to hold the missile launchers, go the same speed as the interceptor, but only be able to have 1 fighter gun.

i would deff want to see this added so airforces could be more useful. Also it's time to give air a chance since ccnet is basicly all naval no opportunities for aircrafts. .

Mabe for the runways allowed to pilot squadron mabe instead of the max on a carrier (5 aircraft) make it 3 or 2 since it would be fair if runway could be bombed. Since there is a 750 block range it could prompt the runways to be built far so would most likely have enemy send bombers tl bomb long range the runways. I was also thinking have air dominance in seiges rewards you with more points as a bonus mabe 0.2 per second nothing to overpowered to mabe encourage more airbattles above seiges and have fighter v fighters scenarios.

I'd say leave bombers as they are (maxed 4 missile launchers and I think is it 5 or 6 bomb bays) or mabe add two new bomb classifications that includes what you suggested mabe heavy bomber and normal bomber.

For ground support mabe have the option to trade the bomb bays for a max of 1 missile launcher as an option for the pilot.

And mabe to be organized and not have the /pilot command be overwhelmed make it to pilot the specified aircraft /pilot aircraft [aircraft class] for example /pilot aircraft interceptor.

Also mabe not to make air warfare annoying to infantry make a mabe a max aircraft that could be piloted depending on how many players from both friendly and enemy side how many player on on the seige similar to how the number of cappers increase when enemy players are online.

Zepps should also get an increased range based on the craft size. A 1000 block zeppelin would have the standard aircraft range of 400 blocks but a 7000 block one would have around 1000 blocks range at least.

I mean the ccnet map is small though I feel like making the zep more long range than a runway (750) blocks could discourage them to be built mabe increase the runway to 1k blocks and have the zep 750 blocks (a swap) or nerf or buff them both but I feel like carrier should keep this 2k block range and be the max it could ever be for aircrafts range.
