Blackwell Fields: let us choose between the 4 jets

Hello,

Since Update 2.1.2.0, the original jets on Blackwell Fields have been replaced by the Top Gun two-seaters (F/A-81F Super Spectre and F-74A Seacat). Before, each side could choose between two jets: F-61V or F-22 for NATO, F39-E or SU-57 for Pax Armata. This change isn’t mentioned anywhere in the update notes. Is it a bug or an intentional change?

I play almost exclusively as a jet pilot in BF6, with close to 500 hours combined on the F-61V and the F39-E. I already removed Wake Island from my playlist because only the two-seaters are available there, and now I’ll have to do the same with Blackwell Fields. I’m sure I’m not the only pilot in this situation.

The two-seaters have their appeal, but they’re not for everyone: flying solo without a Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) puts you at a clear disadvantage, and those of us who have put in the time to master the base jets lose all that progress..

Suggestion: do what BF2042 did, where you could pick your aircraft at deployment from several jets, on any map, with a limit of 2 jets airborne per team. Letting each side choose between its 2 original jets and the 2 two-seaters (for example, for Pax Armata: F39-E / SU-57 / Super Spectre / Seacat) would let everyone fly what they prefer without breaking the balance.

Please let us know whether this is a bug, and if it isn’t, please consider this option.
