Just had a Mustang's wet dream. a team of climbing Americans.

In that comment did I say one thing that put blame on players? Nope, just stated that when you got an all bomber team in a RB game it is almost always leading to a loss, a true enough fact nearly all players know about by now.

This is an issue of matchmaker taking a shit on players and creating teams that are grossly inadequete for the game mode, and the problem in general with the meta of the gameplay.

Ground attackers are very rarely ever a really strong resource on any battle, as all the planes are gonna get shot down on one team within ten minutes and GG other team wins. The ground targets being destroyed or fighting each other to a win for either side is always a rarity, because the current game meta almost completely geared towards fast paced fighter interceptor combat, not strategic bombing of targets or clearing the lawn of tanks so your forces can capture an enemy base critical for winning the mission. Only a couple of missions have any real benefit for ground pounders, Sicily and Saipan are two I can think of. All you do instead on most maps is try to kill all those planes and there you go, you win, and ground attackers are just seen as a RP pinata by a lot of players.

Also, I regularly fly my Skyraider and have been working on numerous ground attackers for both Russia and Germany as I grind my way through their trees. I'm well aware it's not because of me or my fellow players I get stuck on teams where almost everyone is in a bomber or attacker, its due to pure luck of the draw from the RNG matchmaker God that stuck us all in this game cause our BRs are near the same, without worrying about the plane class at all.

The best fix we could get is Gaijjin changing the algorithms to account for what type of plane people are flying and put a cap on certain types, so we avoid a team that has nothing but bombers fighting an enemy team that has all fighters. Even better would be if they just changed the game meta to where we can use ground attackers instead of it being a fighter=only thing worth really using if you want to do anything in this game.

So, I'll go off and be ignorant now. Have a pleasant day.
