BUT in this one (imagine if you will) you are flying your 350,000 ISK dropship and this is done to you. With a "militia jet(0 value)with a pilot wearing a "militia" dropsuit(0 value)killing you, your team/squad/clanmates all wearing there top notch equipment.I have no time for this..... some goof ball who plays the game and just wants to spend his saturday afternoon eating waffles with a bowl of syrup playing with an "alt" account and getting off (with perverse pleasure) on the fact that we are all spending money on our kits and because HE is an incompitent "hater" he'll just do this all day for the hell of it.....no thanks.You count me out...and when EVER I see anything regarding jets in the forums, and I have time to comment on it .IT WILL FOREVER BE THE SAME...NO JETS .Its moronic and reeks of stupidity ,and that I have no time for....I MEAN WHAT DO YOU THINK EVE IS........FLY A SHIP THRU SPACE......PLAY THAT GAME. It makes absolutely -no- sense not to have them. At all. This is a game about combined arms, and militia vehicles will most likely not be present at launch, meaning that using kamikaze tactics with a jet will likely lose you money at a psychopathic rate. There really isn't need for concern.
One thing of note, if jets were included, the battlefield would have to be significantly larger. Usually jets are sent in first, to achieve air superiority or to soften ground targets to allow for the ground troops to deploy and take the area.
I would envision jets operating as a first wave, taking advanced targets and having areal dogfights while troops fight a mile back, taking and hacking checkpoints. By the time slower tanks & hover gunships take the field, the fighters have already been through the area, taking out the air defenses, etc.
Suicide should be discouraged through various means, but not made impossible I don't think. Other jets should be able to see and take out an enemy jet from a ways off, keeping those that try to suicide at bay. If you run out of jets, then the suicides might be more prevalent, however I would think there should be some adequate ground to air defenses that would blow an incoming fighter up before it had a chance to fly into slower vehicles. |
