How will multiplayer work with planes ?

[Gamington]

Like do tanks take over airfields and push back pilots while planes are trying to bomb tanks ? And will you be able to switch from pilot to tank after landing or dying as both ? I know they will both work together just trying to figure out how the matches will work.

Obviously it depends on the "dogfight" multiplayer mission (assuming that is what your question is about, coop and single player will be different) - but for the most part, yes you can swap between planes and tanks. As a tank driver, be prepared to be bombed/strafed and rocketed constantly once your locations is known, especially without AA cover and in open fields.  Forests will be your friend.

 

You can coordinate with your own planes to provide air support and if using (external) voice communications programs, provide intel on enemy Armour positions.

If the mission design is setup appropriately, Armour can neutralise or capture airfields.

Obviously it will depend on the mission but my guess is that it will be more like objective play where the tanks have an objective and the planes have an objective that those two objectives may not include the other.

 

Obviously you'll have people in planes trying to prevent the tanks from completing the objective. Hopefully we get AAA sooner rather than later and then they can defend bombing objectives.

That`s a good question.

 

For coops with Dead Is Dead mechanic implemented I`d like downed players to have the option to man one of the remaining stationary AAA/AT turrets.

I hope there are tank only servers. If not I will make one.

Especially if you suddenly happen to come across an undefended active airfield with spawning players...

If you see Garven_Dreis doing this, call out "Broken Arrow" over the airwaves, and all available close support aircraft will divert from their current mission and will be authorized to drop their ordnance inside the wire.?

Hopefully ground units can only capture ground.

Why?  Having air and ground forces working together seems like it would be one of the best parts of this project.

Server performance and mission balance.

 

I rather play on a tank only server. That way we can have more tanks in a scenario and likely have better server performance.

I like the coop with airplanes and tanks, but that is just me.
