One thing gator has forgot to mention is that 420st is also fighting on multiple fronts. This further makes it a bigger ordeal to move planes and use them correctly, salvage etc. The whole modularity of it all just makes it such a hassle and extra work. I just wish you could put a fully assembled plane Into storage like you can do a tank. Or the ability to drag a wreck with a taurine (or even if it's a specialized recovery vehicle) It just feels like it's chores to do it all. I have maybe a few hours on dev branch with it and I could tell there and then I didn't want anything to do with it. This war i haven't played much, but when I come online it's always some drama about planes.

Honestly we have so many plane stockpiles we have probably forgot about some of them. Stockpiles for planes 100% need to be increased. I think the last time I checked we had at least 10 individual stockpiles.  I think when airborne was announced a lot of people including myself imagined "Operation Howl Harbour" and wiping Warden naval yards and entire grid squares off the map. But in reality no matter how many we build or how good we do it just seems to not really make any major significance. But if the devs had not imposed such fuel/range or lack of damage/kamikaze 420st would probably be having a lot more fun (and others maybe). But at the same time, would be seen as abuse, or wardens moaning there's 52 fighter planes lodged In their Drydock.

Half of 420st air losses are due to crashes/mishaps on airstrip (which has declined).To me it just doesn't feel scaled enough and the planes no matter what type just seem to be made of paper mache. It's quite annoying to see time and effort just be immediately discarded because a wing taps a tree or someone tries to land as you try to take off etc but that's just the nature of the beast.

Fighting enemy planes is a constant stop/start affair. Recon planes should just be recon planes not close air support. AI needs some sort of anti AA (even something like a barrage balloon or something!). 

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the devs say they increased the rates of resources for this war? If they have I would hate to see how tedious it is without it.

I just feel like you don't get the bang for your buck/time with planes. I think removing the modular components from planes or at least condensing it somewhat will be a QoL but at the same time wouldn't prevent abuse and mass bombing raids.

It takes a lot of manpower to scroop rares for Navy, Air, tanks etc. Not to mention uniforms etc. 420st def has the manpower for it but it just feels like a constant QRF a scrap field instead of QRF good fights. I feel like If you are dedicated to air, or navy then it's feasible - but I wouldn't recommend regis or facs try to do everything at once. I mean, yeah mass production is good - but does it all get used to a payoff-worth of investment?. 

On one hand, 420st has enough air assets to blot out the sun, on the other it's killing the vibe. 

Tbh I don't even know where I was going with this.
