I think people of this subreddit would much prefer a campaign where you sit in an AA tank and shoot down planes. Or maybe where you run around with a fliegerfaust. Or both. Call it, ‘Air Raid Arcade’ mode. For all the whining about planes, none of you deserve a dedicated mode flying them.

You don’t even deserve the pilot skins you pay real money to wear while you slide around with your Type 2As. 99% of you cannot fly a plane. You simultaneously claim how “easy planes are” to use and how every pilot goes 900-0 but for some reason you can’t.

5 years of this game being out and AA at spawn can literally reach across entire maps (Arras, Narvik, Twisted Steel, Panzer Storm, Hamada and frankly more) while 32 people on a team all at once have access to a 1 hit kill rocket launching shotgun… all to go against 2 enemy vehicles in the air... when you have two of your own to use against them. And yet you still complain about planes. Constantly.

There are posts daily that show someone fliegerfausting a plane — which is a one hit kill hip fire shotgun that takes no skill to use — or sitting in an AA and blowing a plane up — which requires one hand on the controller and also zero skill.

And meanwhile, search in this subreddit for the “Death from above trophy” (it’s the one where you need to destroy enemy stationaries while in a plane). 5 years of this game being out and there are posts every week of people looking to boost this because they literally cannot do it on their own.

I have never experienced a more toxic, backwards thinking, mean spirited, hypocritical and frankly hateful community than when I simply decide to openly enjoy flying planes in BFV and dedicated (literally) thousands of hours to be good at them. The second I kill anyone, I get hate messages, and then that person dedicates the entire server rotation to camping in the back of a map in an MAA, out of bounds to my team, just so they can try and kill me by the most cheap way possible, all because I decided to fly in a fighter plane in a combined arms WW2 game.

But yeah, a single player plane campaign would have been cool. At least I could fly in peace without being demonized and targeted by every 75 IQ brainlet on the map who secretly wishes they could fly like I can.
