@YT_Positivewhile I like the idea of 2 seater jets, I would prefer it if the pilot retained the air to air weaponry (and air radar because most people aren't going to be using voice chat while playing), while the passenger takes control of all the air to ground weapons (like bombs /tv missile/laser lockon)

Agreed with both of you!
Also that both soldiers in the cockpit have to have ability to get kills using jet weaponry while being there, or this will lead to frustrated players not caring when spawning in there. Or just trashing the vehicle after short transport...
I also read somewhere regarding other air vehicles will have more active seats for more collaborating soldiers to join onboard. Like the epic B-17 bomber that we had in Battlefield 1942 will be there on the Portal !

Whilst I like the idea, my fear is they could be a tad op if we take BF4 jets and simply add a second person for example.
Considering this is set in 2042 and because of modern sensor fusion, data sharing and pilot interface, 2 seat jets are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

There's an awkwardness isn't there with near future scenarios and the way tech is creating distance between combatants. I wonder how much combat is resolved well before fighters get the chance to merge.- difficult to balance in an FPS game.
I was thinking if sensor fuzed weapons were going to feature somewhere in BF2042 - but then remembered there is no GPS support in our 2042 world.
