[@Hotwire999]

@Seek regarding the 16v16, I have a different theory. In such a huge matches, the skill matters much less than it would in small matches. So there is a bigger chance for average WT players to get some RP and SL, by either getting random kills or bombing, since there is a less chance that people in furball will pay attention to them. Average players in ARB have negative KD, so in small matches, they would probably be just a cannon fodder, and that would lead to them getting bored and quitting the game. When I was in Vietnam for a couple of months last year, I have experienced SA server, where after the midnights, there are barely people playing, so I had the exactly those type of matches, like 8v8 and less, and I tell you, when I was in F5E, I could easily just solo win the entire match, because it was full of just ground pounding people, it felt like playing against AI. So if Gaijin implemented those sizes of matches, they would also have to introduce some kind of matchmaking according to player stats. And I guess they are just lazy to do that, so they go the easier route by just having huge clusterfuck matches...

[@SeekerHead]

I agree about the less skill aspect as well

[@cookiecracker2]

Not too long ago for a small period of time 10.3 had 8v8-10v10 and it was amazing. Every match ended with the last couple players in a epic dog fight, and skill mattered a lot. I've become kinda frustrated with all the stupid noobs that talk about "skill issue" and I think they should experience that. Right now top tier does not pressure you to do better, but only to play more like a rat, or buy a premium.

[@rickdubbink]

Less players indeed would make the skillgap higher, but at least then people would actually learn to play the game before jumping straight to top tier because it will be too frustrating for them. Sadly gaijin couldn't care about that though because money

[@norske_ow3440]

Idk, I’m very average. across everything I might average out to about 1:1 k/d, and in the old 12v12 I could get an ace fairly often in an f4ej-kai when f14, f16, and MiG29 were new. With 16v16 I’m lucky to get 3 cause every match is one-sided and either my team get stomped or stomp so hard I don’t get to even shoot. Imo 12v12 was actually much easier

[@cruciform1775]

I agree that is probably something about the servers being bad so they can't run more battles without getting better servers, but I wish they at least would give us a comment on this issue so we know if they are working on it and if they think it needs to be changed or if they want to keep it the same way for whatever reason. Just knowing what they think about the 16v16 issue would be awesome.

[@Epic_candle]

What about 8v8 in night battle, they gave us that but can't do it for top air?

[@liammartinez1484]

To add to the conspiracy I think they don’t make smaller games is to make the stock grind without the full missile load or chaff worse so people spend ge on modifications

[@Epic_candle]

Ground night battle is 8v8, they did add 8v8 to the game but just won't for the top air

[@pirate42069]

They can make the maps bigger with 2 spawns further away from each other, each spawn starts with 8 players each. Kind of like what gaijin does in Ground RB.

[@snooppotato6255]

this would be a great addition in the bvr update

[@YesImVirgin]

i think they shoud just add different gamemodes like 8v8, 10v10,12v12 and 16v16 for the liking of players. if you want dynamic games you select 12v12 or 16v16 and for more chill ones just go 8v8 or 10v10. Today i saw that players online count was at ! 250 000! at that moment, so decompression and longer waiting times in the lobby wont be a problem itsefl even with 100 000 players online. And just personally i'd love to see EC type of gamemode for RB back. Just to use multirole purpose of top tier planes like F-16C or Grippen and attack ground units a bit and go hunt for other players just like in SIM battles. Those solutions would take little to zero effort for gaijin to add since everything (apart from decompression) is just already in game or realtively easy to implement (like smaller lobbies). But why even bother, just take super advanced top tier planes and put them into the most arcade and basic head-on type of battle that last 3 minutes at large.

[@freezedvegetal]

If servers and cost was the entire reason behind the change the whole time that would be beyond frustrating, also good to see you have a working PC again :)

to be honest, i really respect your braveness to be able to speak up about these kind of stuff that are really sensitive towards Gaijin. You literally explained everything and also exactly what we've been having in this game lately or in general i would say. I hope gaijin see this video and listens to their players, because if not, there's probability that people are just too infuriated are going to make an action to kind of shut the game off or do stuff we could'nt imagine. And yes it could affect to all of us if that "worst scenario" happens. Keep it up man, you've represented us very well in this explaination video. sorry about my english, its not my first language so yeah, im suck at it.

[@SteelxWolf]

RB EC would def improve a lot of people’s opinion of air, if it was coupled with the removal of AI and ground targets affecting the outcomes of standard air. 16v16 is def a problem for top tier. But overall ARB is a TDM and always will. Gaijin continues to try and please two different crowds. Also EC had the issue where missiles stopped working after and hour or so… i wonder of that has something to do with it 🤔

[@ethanp2499]

everyone always talks about bigger maps, more/less people, wider distances from af, why not like 4 spawns on each side? really use the entire map? and then as more people die the names get revealed permantently, I think it would make a little bit better challenge

[@literallya442ndclonetroope5]

RB really could use a revamp. The match set ups, objective design, and general design of RB for air is generally dogshit at this point in the game in general. It’s too simplistic, too illogical, and causes 90% of the issues existing in the mode, including ticket drain, airbase camping, lack of variety in gameplay, the spamming of a single vehicle (mainly premium ones), dragged out matches, etc… The current modes just don’t cut it, and need to be fixed before any more changes are made.

[@ethans6539]

Totally agree but I think its two main things; bigger servers make it easier for noobs to get kills which drives engagement, and server limitations too. This is probably also why repeat maps are so common now, its a lot less demanding to keep the same map loaded on a server for multiple games than load a new one every time

[@SA80TAGE]

he's only asking to downsize the player count on top tier servers.... ain't no-one a noob at that tier after the grind to get there.

[@nicholasleon7819]

as far as i know this relationship gaijin has with its community, not just a forum but a discord with direct line to its most influential players, is totally unique and so it’s a real head scratcher they still move in such mystery, although they are way more responsive than they used to be

[@SeekerHead]

it's cool, but they don't really care what we say. It's more for show I suspect.

[@thetaundertone1313]

The main problem is that they don't respect their playerbase or our time whatsoever. Threatening to remove the game from steam while insulting us was the proof we needed when people tried to force feedback at a fraction of what they force onto us.

[@nicholasjensen8016]

Valid conspiracy. Really happy about fuel sliders being added tho. It’s extremely logical. I just wish they fixed their fuel timers for once so it adjusts the time with your throttle setting. Another thing I’m pissed about bc it’s been fucked since day one of modern HUDs and the sim community is decently vocal about it. The damn flight path marker is not correct, it still doesn’t and never has matched the correct one in the virtual hud view.

[@lucinator8582]

the hud thing really irks me, especially on a jet like the Su-25 where if i decide i wanna do some ground pounding and shoot off my R-60Ms before dropping bombs my gunsight defaults to the bomb mode which is annoying and i lose the gyro sight. I know jets like the F-15 have a sight mode for “cannon on air target”, maybe something like that can solve it

the thing is, by solving 16v16 u can probably also solve br compression. if the matches take less players to fill, then, for example, a 12.7 match doesnt need to go search players with less than 12.3, avoiding the supposed qeue problems gaijin mentioned.

I mean didn`t they add this change 2 or 3 years ago? It just slowly eroded back to its prior status as something half half. The system used to be very strict usally the first doing any significant damage gets the kill unless a good amount of time has passed.

I like 16v16 :( I just wanna have a new map design with multiple airports, more airbases and overall more areas where things are happening and not everyone is meeting in the middle.

[@mightyzuis]

All gaijin has to do is implement a assist counts as kill system and kill stealing wouldn’t be an issue.

[@SA80TAGE]

that may interfere with the tickets/points system. If 2 players both score a kill on 1 jet, the system may count that as 2 kills in the overall points. At almost 40 years of age, I long accepted that kill (or goal) steals are just part of gaming culture.

It comes down to money. If they reduce from 16v16 it will help make the grind easier. Less grind to Gaijin might mean less money in their mind. The server issue does make sense also, more matches is more work for servers which could result in the need for more servers.

[@0GTXR]

16v16 would be cool if it was split to two groups of 8v8 on a very large map, where the survivors finish the fight in the middle of the map It would be even better if top tier would get an objective based game mode

[@hannut2520]

Actually, for jets in Air Arcade 8v8 are quite common and even 6v6 are a thing, the lower count of player basically force the matchmaker to do with what is available, 16v16 are not that common, they mostly happen around the 10.0-12.0 BR range, where the premiums packs are, and they are still quite rare there, until you have an event and a peak time combined.

Im fine with 16v16 but they should have like 6 different spawns across a far larger ec type map to make seperate engagements possible so that the longer range missles and radars are useful and it is actually spread out, an 8v8 is still the same missles getting launched at you in a close range as they will have more for each player imo

[@pliat]

That’s an awful idea, what if 4 people spawn on the left, but the other team has 10 people there. It would just be like a slot machine. Eventually people will only spawn on the left spawn, as to not get outnumbered, just like the current “go left” rule.

The matchmaker times are kinda long depending on what youre playing but for the most part i think the playerbase can handle 2 modes. I really do get tired of playing the game on the same mode all the time. I can only play the game for like 2-3 hours at a time without wanting to unalive myself. Its genuinely a mind numbing experience at this point.

Here's some more "conspiracy theories". 1. Less players = Less kills for people who buy their way into top tier = Less people buying p2w packs = Less profits 2. Less players = Easier stock grind = No need to GE mods = Less profits 3. Less players = Some tech tree Jets become playable and enjoyable = Less f2p player frustration = It would be more effective to talisman those jets instead of buying a p2w pack = Less profits 4. Less players = Experienced players will have space and time to strategize and approach engagements like in prop tiers = Rofl stomping on people who bought their way to top tier = Less people buying their way in = Less profits And here's another fun fact.

16 vs 16 works for WW2 planes but not for higher tiers. Here's what i would do: first i would split matchmaking by era so planes in Vietnam era will not be fighting planes from Korean era even if they are within BR range with some planes having dual citizenship and being allowed in both (F-4J and S for example will be in both Vietnam and top tier while F-4C or F-100 will be allowed in both Vietnam and Korean era matches if within their BR range). Next i would adjust team size based on these eras. WW2 games 16 vs 16 with a limit up to 6 bombers and attackers (in any ratio) per team Korean war era planes with up to AIM-9B or equivalent missiles 10 vs 10 with up to 3 bombers/attackers Vietnam era 6 vs 6 with up to 2 bombers/attackers top tier 4 vs 4 And for the love of god add EC in air RB.

I think the 16v16 isn’t a bad thing. But the way it was implemented is bad. Add new spawn points at the top and bottom of each side of the map and split the team down the middle. Double the amount of bases and ground targets to attack so the strikers and ground pounding phantoms have something to do while the rest of us go and fight the enemy team

[@Ocaruz]

I genuinely wouldn’t mind 16vs16 if they could update the bloody Air RB game mode, add more actual objectives force players to do them force players to split up and go to different objectives and make objectives actually worth it (forcing) people to do them. People will then have smaller groups clashing on the different objectives and such. So there will still be kills to be had. And more fun and team play within the community. I don’t understand why Gaijin are so against making the game more enjoyable and interesting to play. Same goes for Ground RB where are the different modes. Like Fucking blitz objectives, king of the hill, reapply point from helicopter and much more.

Going to laugh my backside off if they announce 20v20 this year. Would not be surprised. 😆🤣

[@rabbaniazzahra1784]

yall remember pixel gun 3d? They have a game mode called "squads" its basically 3v3. i think gaijin should add the classic team modes in realistic, and the squad game mode where its 3v3 or 4v4

[@snooppotato6255]

4v4 with your buds would be so much fun

[@ryantrahan2240]

TBH I love how the lies just compile. They cant decompress the battle ratings because it would make the queue times to long but yet upping the player count in each battle is fine. Your conclusion about them saving money is the only thing Ive come up with for them not lowering the player count per battle. Its BS and i dont look forward to the fox 3 spamming with 32 people in a single battle.

Honestly, I think maps size and position of things is a bigger problem. 16vs16 can work if they could split players among map. Adding new AF and making a limit for players per field will make so much for arb. Ye, its like a bootleg form of 8vs8, but its still much better than it is now

[@Epic_candle]

I also wish they would add AWACS and radar sites to RB and sim

[@qumader]

@@Epic_candle Snail cant make bombers work, what are they going to do with awacs? But if they would be AI plane, they will be shooted down first or it will be just good form of a spotting system

[@Epic_candle]

@@qumader make them a mission target while also assisting players would be cool

[@powerkingez9682]

i think they shoud start whit 12 players just to see how it feels, because i still wanna get kills so i think 8 is to small but whit the current 16 player state i can litterly regularly get aces and loose because 5 kills have no impact these days and thats kinda crazy so deffo 10-12 players i think woud be best also considering some of the map sizes

creator link is huge 🗣️

The reason for 16v16 is not server based, its meta based. They give US jets better maneuverability, and Russian jets stiff flight models with better missiles. In 16v16 maneuverability means little, and who has the best missiles and can carry the most missiles as well as deploy them effectively (HMS). 16v16 is designed for the SU-27 and any other missile bus that can field 10 of the best missiles in the game. You turn in 16v16 and you die to one of the other 15 enemies. Meanwhile R-27ERs and anything that can field a lot of them are kings of the 16v16 meta.

[@borkel]

damn... i still had some hope... :(

[@cadon_slayer4285]

Guys im really really confused is that not the su27? The su27 has a 10km max lock range? How do you do that!??!?! (Omg i figured it out what)

It's not a CT. You are right on the money. I just simply stopped playing ARB in november abd switched to ASB, cus I was fed up. Vote with your time/money.

[@thesupreme8062]

and even for ground they still havent addressed the awful RP rewards nor did they say they will

[@GeoDracu]

Not sure lowering the number of players is what's needed. Bigger maps with objectives so its not 16 vs 16 going left then furball and whoever's lucky enough survives definitely needs to change. They need to split people up and make them think about winning rather than just blow their missile load, get as many kills as possible, and repeat.

COLDEST DECAL me: Another anime decal for my shit? Hell yeah!

[@SeekerHead]

Hell no

[@officialgood-boy8946]

If they don't want to address the 16v16 issue then they should at least keep top tier in the largest maps and have two spawns that are decently far apart for each team. I think that would help somewhat.

[@snooppotato6255]

they should make it like on ground RB but force 8 players at 1 spawn and 8 at the other

[@terryharlan7750]

I don't mind the 16v16 but they need to get rid of the huge maps for air RB

[@RupertBundem]

Arcade too there are just stupidly big maps

[@Val_Entine1]

Indeed, the servers are actually run by hamsters and the first 3 days after a big update or crate release the server hamsters cant keep up.

[@Nicsaft]

Props should stay 16vs16 or anything but 8vs8 its not enough maybe like 10 or 12 minimum for props and as the br goes up the number of player by game go down pretty much how it has evolved in real life before plane used to be big squadron and later its at been rare to see more then 3/4 planes working together.

[@furioustoco2824]

16 v 16 would mean waiting long in que for a match... longer... que times???? Ive heard that one before
