As a lifelong military aircraft nerd, I was on pins and needles for years waiting for this game. I bought a PSVR2 and Hotas before AoT was even released so I could be ready for it to drop. Purchased the game and all expansion content the day it was released. I grew up playing all the Dynamax Aces series on PC and when I took my first flight in VR, it nearly brought me to tears. Even got my Dad (who gave me the aircraft bug) to try it, and it gave him a similarly emotional reaction. My question is what's next?

Expanding the aircraft library is certainly cool but I feel pretty limited in what we can do with these beautiful machines. It would be amazing to see Gaijin expand the campaign series where we could fight our way across different theatres, instead of flying one off missions, and would happily pay up for those. Is there any news on what's in the future for the game?

And I know we waited A WHILE for this game to drop, but how do we communicate that we want more? I'm voting with my dollars the best I can but am worried it's not enough. I'll just say that I could die a happy man to play A-10 Tank Killer in VR and witness the minigun chewing through tanks.

As per vid, it's death by a thousand cuts (Google the term). Often I find myself unloading half an ammo belt to down an opponent.

Bullets do little damage and they fall out the sky like they're made of... Lead. This means deflection shooting often requires you to shoot at an enemy that is below your nose that you literally can't see them.

Or you get behind them and you're too close for the 300 yard gun convergence and you hit non-critical components like wings. (Plenty of evidence of that here)

What's the most effective ammo loadout?

It is still fun in it's own way, but it doesn't feel like a battle winner.

How many in this Reddit we got.

I am not far from Double Ace. According to trophies there are less than 4% of game participants that are Aces….

Now that bots respawn multiple times like humans ive not had an air domination match end yet in a victory through capture of the point.

For those that don't have the trophy for winning 30 matches, is that trophy now almost impossible to obtain?

Has anyone had a win through capturing the point since the bot respawn update?

It used to be easy, kill most of the other team, and then crowd the zone.

Im glad i got this done before the update.
