Anyone else find it kind of boring that there's no reason to fly as a team besides more dakka? There's no combined arms or synergy with aircraft. Armor columns need MBTs to deal with ground, Skyguards to fight off air, and Sunderers to keep them supplied. Infantry need Max suits, medics, engineers and all sorts of things that work nicely together. Air when grouped up just does the same thing except more of it. Liberators bomb the ground and can hold their own against other aircraft, ESF are often the same way, and there's no support or utility roles besides maybe Scout Radar? Anyone else feel like the airspace could use some more interesting roles? Or at least make it so that specializing in anti-air or anti-ground was more effective than the jack of all trades that most pilots seem to stick to.
Thats what the Valkyrie is for. A vehicles that cannot a2a but only a2g like we need more of those though...
That's because you get to do everything with libs and esf, mostly with a single loadout. There's zero forced diversity, and it's not going to change until ESF either lose one of their weapon slots or all of their weapons undergo a massive change toward more extreme specialisation. The same goes for liberators, as they only need one of their weapons to be competent against ground or air, basically. This stands in an incredibly stark contrast to ground vehicles, which are basically all going for hyper-specialisation out of necessity (this isn't a bad thing). I don't think this will change. Pilots wouldn't like it either, probably.
The Valkyrie currently is for nothing, as it serves no purpose that otherwise would not be covered by one of the current crafts, without making any of the existing ones obsolete ... it's basically Harasser 2.0 were everybody used Harassers and MBTs for a short duration became even more obsolete than now, well technically speaking MBTs still are ...
