@Adamonic Eh, marketing materials (screenshots and videos) are taken separately, usually. Not usually grabbing a lot of footage from proper internal tests since usually companies want to have more control over staging the video content (and screenshots, which likely go through multiple rounds of post in photoshop).
But I'm wondering if whoever they simply don't have any strong pilots in their test environment and are, somehow, now coming across strong pilots when playing on live servers.
Because it doesn't FEEL like they do given how badly balance aircraft continue to be and how slow they are to make adjustments.
I'm getting to the point where I'm actually just hoping they kill off aircraft as a whole and leave it as a ground-game only, with more ground vehicles. Seems like it would be a lot more fun for your average infantry player (i.e. the majority of the people in the match).
