I understand the point you are all trying to say here, before i could even fly , drop bombs or land , i got destroyed countless times by aircraft in kashan as infantry or as armor, Air superiority can be a huge factor and especially in kashan.

What Fullkontact said is the most rational thing to do normally, but dont forget that theres things goin on in the sky between both ennemie fighter wich the infantry on the ground cant see, like dogfighting and running out of flares is not rare. Just imagine dogfighting against an ennemie jet, you survive but you spent all your flares in the process, you then return to base only to get shot down by an AAV wich was waiting 1.5 k south of the runway, this is not what happened yesterday but it could have been. It is extremely frustrating for the pilot and for the team wich lost their most valuable assets.


I know how people feel against pilots, they are disliked, If you just take off then get shot down 2 min later, people wills always complain and say your a bad pilot and you get a bad reputation, If you never get shot down and you just completly destroy the other team you get labelled as an asset whore, thats how it is, but facts are if you dont fly aircraft often you most likely fail everytime. You need to be an "asset whore" to be effectivee with those things, its sad but this is the truth.


Saying that aircraft are almost invincible is not a reason to sit 1.5 k away from the ennemie runway with the clear intention of shooting down the plane, jets are powerful when used correctly yes but they are still very weak against AA and without good spotters, you get shot down 80% of the time.

yesterday i flew over 2 hours without getting shot down, it is one of the rare round i did good with the aircraft , though I almost got shot down at least 5 times including 1 time where i took heavy damage and had to do an emergency landing, when you get heavy damage the plane just keep getting damage and 30 sec to 1 min later its just explode so without a very fast landing you are dead, it didnt happen to me yesterday cause ive been lucky enough to land quickly, but what would have happened if an AAV was 1.5 away from the main? i would have been dead and theres no way i could have avoided those AA.


FullKontact is right, you should do a fly by before landing, but only if you still got flares and bombs to destroy them, but 90% of time you need to land, it is because you need flares or bombs...... Even if you have flares and you spot the ennemie aa before he shot you down, he is still blocking the landing path for future landing.



going out of bound to land is not an option in kashan and quinling, the runway is just too close to the edge of the map.


Ps: sry for my grammar, i just woke up...lol
