Planes ruin the game

Especially on maps like fjell. Aa is pretty much useless on a bomber so they just come right at you. Not to mention the plane just flys so low where the window to do any dmg is small. All you can do is hope your team has someone capable to deal with them, but then it's just the same problem for the other team then.

It's a plane based map, and if you can always jump in a fighter to shoot those bomber down, it's not hard at all.
Bombers doesn't really fit in a game with infantry-players and Fjell is the best example of this (Arras can be bad too).
I'm not even surprised
Planes are in a terrible state right now (too little damage, hard to hit something with on console and terrible to fly) in this BF and some players still whine about them...
Yeah it is easier to whine about planes then to learn to use them. Dice put practice range in and even though it isnt the best I was able to figure out how what control layout works for me and general shooting enemie planes enough that I could easily get better as I go in pub matches. What practice range doesnt do is show people how to bomb seat switch on any other thing people complain about with flying. AA guns need to be used in tandem with other pilots and you need to learn to lead targets. I actually turned the tides in the air without being on the ground because I can make it harder for the enemy to kill my planes and weaken them enough for my pilots to take them out. Also if they are now focused on you and the AA then that means they are not strafing your team. Equip support engineer and you can keep repairing the AA gun and troll them. Planes are far from OP against ground due to poor visibilty and flight mechanics make it so you have to look for planes first unless you want to be melted without a chance to flee and reset.
They shouldn’t be on Fjell though.
The game is ruining the game
And it's even worse in BFV because they actually broke the balance completely destroy the role of the Fighter plane, it's ridiculous that Bombers are now have way better maneuver than a Fighter plane and can out turn them. People are dogfight Fighter plane and have a higher chance to win with Bomber, that's just dumb.
No one want to use Fighter planes anymore because they hardly being threat for Infantry and they're almost useless again Bomber. People just hop on a Bomber to bomb the crap out down below and call it a day.
Without spots on console the bomber has a very hard time to kill anyone with the poor visibility, bad flight mechanics and very small blast radius/poor damage.
Last patches even nerfed the bombing planes to beyond useless.
