I think the flight mechanics are absolutely ridiculous at this point. We have a max of 2 players in a flight so that flights aren't 'overpowered' yet WG will allow split-tiering and won't limit the types of aircraft in a flight. Putting 2 GA or 2 Bombers ore 1 GA and 1 Bomber together (and then letting them split tier as well) is not fun for anyone except maybe the people who like to do it. There's really no way to beat that if you're up-tiered (again, the split-tiering makes sure that the higher guy won't be up-tiered) and flying solo.
My suggestion is this:
- Bring back 3-player flights - it's something the people want and would increase the social aspect of this game which is somewhat lacking at the moment. Tanks and Ships both have 3-player groups.
- Limit the flight composition - unlimited number of light fighters, unlimited multirole fighters, 2 heavies max, and a maximum of one dedicated ground-pounder whether that be a GA or Bomber.
- Allow split-tiering, but put the flight in the MM based on the higher tier aircraft's tier, not the lower.
Cheers!
