Tonight summed it up for me

Since I'm currently not active, my opinion holds little weight, but your logic is entirely flawed.
 There are lots of players that only pay to fly airplanes. If the game does not provide players the tools to find timely aerial fights, then those players will quit as you suggest they do.

Tank or quit seems to be your stance which is not acceptable for a game built around aerial combat.

Especially since there is a game out there called World of Tanks that provides a thousand times better tanking experience.

This game is about planes. Period. End stop.

does wot have wirbs?  there is a reason why I'm asking I have no problem with aerial combat I enjoy aerial combat however when they come over to our base de ack the base and leave town alone just so they can vulch well then I just get the greatest kick out of lighting their plane on fire..I don't really ConSider vulching aerial combat..so I get my quota of vulchers with my wirb then land feeling oh Sooooooo satisfied then up my lil fm2 grab a lil alt and Wait for round 2..until wot can let me do that I'll stay right here..thanks

I've tried WOT, not interested and IMHO no comparison to AH. The fact we can fly or GV or do both separates AH from WOT. Add to that the number of people that can be in any given arena at the same time on the same map, nothing I know of out there comes close.

Here's the solution:

Play in Scenarios where the manliest (and womanliest, for those women who play) is found!

  Don't get so frustrated. Tanks were just as much a part of WWII as planes were. It's all a part of the full experience provided. Just start bombing them if that makes you feel beter.

GV is a part of the game, however getting kills against a flying plane with main gun did never happened during ww2.

The reason is works here is because the tank is one nervous system, not 4 or 5 like in a real tank. A gunner with his very limited FOV could not track a moving plane the commander or loader spotted.

Also to be that effective the commander/gunner have to sit half upper body exposed to gunfire.

As for those Wirbies, they are just too effective, with computer ranging sights no-one had IRL, and very long effective range.

Same go for bomb****ing with outside view, it did not happened in RL and it should not happen here.

Tank should have a outside/inside switch for visibility/vulnerability, Wirbies should have a reduced effective max range, and bombing from F3 view should be stopped.

Mmmmm time to dust off the old computer pr maybe get a new one old one might not work and fire up an osti lol

I've defended knowing I couldn't save the base but maybe delay the enemies progress until more support arrives. It works quite well.
