Imo the planes are too fast/ hard to controll
Eventhough they feel more realistic, compared to the mapsize and espessialy the short view distance the planes loose much of their power.
If you take Cobra e.g. the planes were always a fear for the german tanks, now you just ignore them. Only 3-4 players are really good with planes, the rest, like me, fly one round and crash into the next tree cause you cant pull up in time.
The planes at Bastonge are totaly useless too, cause 1) short viewdistance, 2) all white 3) planes are so fast that you just have 1 sec to focus on the target, but in this one second you need to pull up again to avoid a crash.
Plane speed, control, and view distance dont reall work well together.
Eventhough its nice to make planes controlling harder, to simuliate a more realisic handling, its overdone imo.
