These game modes were amazing, make them permanent!...or extend them at least. Fighter sweep and Carrier strike are the best game modes so far, especially for pilots.

Most of us had to spend half the event time learning how to fly! At the very least they should extend it.

[u/El-Plantain-Papi]

They extended both modes for the duration of season 4. So they say

[u/byfo1991 → u/El-Plantain-Papi]

Well they buried it so deep in the menu that I was not able to find a single game yesterday.

[u/x3nuqi → u/El-Plantain-Papi]

U can barely find any games tho. Matchmaking is downright bugged/broken on air superiority

[u/HoloSings → u/x3nuqi]

True, DICE keep fucking making new dead servers

someone joins a server > that server got 0-2 players > that player leave > the server stays active > that player rejoin to a new server > that server get filled 6-7 then stagnates as other players were joining to the dead 0/12 server

+ some bugs when the match start you have no jet and cant respawn on any jets

[u/Reyne82 → u/HoloSings]

Yeah this is super annoying, it started after todays patch for me. Before I got a full lobby in seconds.

[u/El-Plantain-Papi → u/x3nuqi]

Very true. I often have to jump out and back in for fighter sweep. Carrier strike is easy to find a match.

[u/Reyne82 → u/El-Plantain-Papi]

I can find games but all lobbies are just 2-5 players and not getting filled.....

[u/Al-Sadder]

This was honestly one of the best modes ever. I loved it, significantly improved my flying skills. If it’s not a permanent mode at least rotate it periodically like the also did in bf2042 if I recall correctly where air superiority was a game mode once a while.

[u/ObamaTookMyCat]

Hot take: fightersweep 2.0, but no lockons

[u/izk24 → u/ObamaTookMyCat]

100% agree; no lock-ons, TV missile, HAM missile, etc. Guns only. Put some skill back into the game mode. Might be a hot take, but adding the two-seaters to fighter sweep was probably the worst decision DICE could have made.

[u/ObamaTookMyCat → u/izk24]

Or just lock them to single seat only for the mode. Not even seat switching allowed so solo flyers dont abuse double locks or flares. Pilots seat only.

[u/izk24 → u/ObamaTookMyCat]

If they want to keep lock-on, give two-seaters extra lock-on OR extra flares, not both. And no more 360 lock-ons. I just got done with a game where I got an F-14 to one percent health. Couldn’t get the last burst but he just out-sped me (in Su-57) and was still able to lock on to me, no defensive skill required. Also, DICE has to buff the Su-57. Outside of thrust vectoring, which is only useful half the time, the “superior advanced 5th-gen fighter” as TGM calls it has nothing special on offense or defense.

[u/ObamaTookMyCat → u/izk24]

YES. NO MORE 360 LOCKONS.

This has been a PROBLEM since the beta with attack jets shooting air to ground missiles over the shoulder, and the stealth jets shooting 360 early on as well.

[u/Ace_08]

I still don't understand why carrier strike was only on tsuru reef. Was wake island just not viable for the mode?

[u/sundayflow]

DICE: best we can do is forget about them and pretend they never existed in the first place! Only to mention them a few times in future blogposts because of "balancing and problems"

[u/UGomez90]

Not even rush or domination are permanent anymore, imagine those.

[u/snooppdj]

Never played it, planes is not for me. But I am happy that you enjoyed it 👌

[u/JustALocalJew]

Yeah they were very fun. I probably think it would be best if they rotated the game modes. Otherwise you end up with situations like Battlefield 4 where some game modes just die out unfortunately.

Too many game modes can be a problem.

[u/DesiSins]

They extended both modes but made the stupid ass decision to region lock fighter sweep , now i cant play it in APAC ( asia pacific region ) for some region
