@UP_Hawxxeye depends how easy/rewarding they make farming infantry. 2042 seems rife with pilots ignoring each other and just farming infantry as it's easier and they get more XP/Min for it, or the achievements are all kill based. Vehicle rewards and achievements need a massive rethink in the next game (as do most teamwork elements), so that the focus isn't on kills and more rewards are gained from the individual game roles doing their intended job.

@MADMAC50K
/nods Kill based achievements are a big stinking sore in the gameplay design of this game.

I really do not see that much of a pilots ignoring each other in 2042. That was more of a BFV thing. But the core issue that caused it both games is how messed up Air vs Air encounters feel since BFV.

Personally I am always going for the enemy pilot first because I do not trust them to not stab me in the back. 2042 does not give you the chance to recover from a backstab in a dogfight.

Here is some early 2042 footage I recoded that shows how AWFUL Air vs Air can feel in BF2042.
