Ewwww. That's no good. The fighters I was envisioning would have no business being low enough to be taken out by a Forge or Railgun, and should really only be getting shot down by other fighters/proper anti air weapons/structures. I was honestly hoping when the time came CCP would extend the verticality of maps, at least a touch, and fighters would be strictly for attacking and protecting some sort of Assault Bomber that would have to be brought in to keep the Fighters from being a wasted SP sink and or a joke.

Don't get me wrong, if you have the balls to be hugging the ground at high speeds go for it. I understand the VTOL being all but required for take off and landing, but VTOL should be worthless for combat, and honestly pure fighters should be UTERLY worthless against any troops/vehicles on the ground, save for an extremely lucky shot from time to time.

In short, please don't let CCP make a fighter that is nothing more than a glorified Dropship Wolf. I understand required speed limitations due to map size, but Fighters should be fast as ****, weak as ****, maneuverable as ****, and there should really be no need to call in a Fighter unless the enemy has called in a Bomber or something.

While we are on the topic, what are the chances we will get an AWACS aircraft one day?

You were the one I got it from after all, in that mega-thread you made of all the concept art. Also: A. I don't think Forge Guns will be a threat to something that flies at high speeds like that B. I doubt anything like a jet could be "flavor-of-the-month", at least not if they keep with the design methodology they used for Dropships, such that it would take some actual skill to pilot them without just crashing over and over.

Get about 10 feet Pitch up Switch to forward flight Pedal to the metal If you combine that with an afterburner, there won't be anyone in the game that can take you down at that speed. Only way you can get shot in the air is if you're a dumbass and fly straight at an obvious threat like a Forge Gun or don't try to evade Swarms. Whenever you have to land to repair or re-arm, try to do it in areas with cover. Easy.

While we are on the topic, what are the chances we will get an AWACS aircraft one day? You'll notice from that concept art that they were originally designed to be two-seaters with a deployable gun turret while in "VTOL mode". I'm pretty sure they scrapped that, and I'm hoping against hope that I'm right. I would actually love it if we had a Heavy Aircraft with some major bonuses to Active Scanners to act as an eye in the sky.
Dunk Mujunk RestlessSpirits D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 83	Posted - 2013.09.18 20:46:00 - [22] - Quote Raising the player count in battles would also make all this way more viable, though I realize CCP can only do so much with the current technology. It would be freakin awesome to have the MAG limit of 128 vs 128 and have tank platoons, LAV and MAV squads, fighter and bomber wings, plus a massive infantry army.

From looking on the forums and talking to people, Fighters are probably well over a year away, and at this point seem to be more of an idea than a plan. I don't know any of this for sure though, it's all just guesses. But yea, spend your SP, have some fun, and don't pay any mind to Fighters at this point. You will have plenty of time to save up more SP.

You will have plenty of time to save up more SP. I'm thinking that I'll put in enough SP to go full support Logi, and maybe enough to do HAVs again, and then just bank whatever I get after that. Those are the only two roles I enjoy and am good at right now anyway.
