Solo transport is impossible now (Because of airplanes).
First of all, I'm not saying it's impossible.
You can do solo transport and get lucky, I'm talking about flatbeds and trucks, maybe Ironships, but luck isn't your friend when transporting hours of players work, that can get destroyed in 2 passes of an airplane.
And people can argue that we can just run convoys and the game is about cooperation and working together, get air support, put AA guns around logi routs, etc...
Problem is, no one is gonna do that, there are only so many people per hex/server, most of them are new players just spawning to shoot a gun, the rest are builders, tankers and other groups that just want to go to front lines and have some fun.
That leaves us, the logi players, that get the SATISFACTION from delivering stuff and seeing others have fun and/or win at the front, OUR fun is seeing the fruits of our work.
Well that gets destroyed when we lose the cargo, any logi player that lost something to a partisan knows it, and till today, there was a fine balance, partisans could bring only so much ammo and block the road only for so long before they got a QRF on them and the rout was open again.
In practice, that meant a few trucks or flatbeds lost, 10 or 15 minut wait, maybe a re-rout through a different road, but in the end, everyone was having fun, logi lost a few trucks and had to adapt, partisans got a few fun kills and got demolished by a tank, all was fine.
Then, the airplanes appeared, now the routs are cut most of the time, an enemy plane can show up at any moment at any part of the map, the closer to the front, the worst it gets.
Problem is, to shoot down planes you need people and AA or air superiority, which boils to, you get luck that there is friendly fighter to cover you, or you die, because ground AA needs to be placed, armed, and manned, and basically every few 100 meters, otherwise, you get picked off in between.
And I don't think the new update will help with that, yay, new AA tank, great, so now every rout needs permanent AA crew ? Not happening.
And I'm still talking about solo, sure people in regiments can get a buddy to man the AA, but the new players, impossible, and even for regiments, that's another thing that just sucks manpower from other tasks, and even if the devs add AI AA, who's gonna pay the Msups on every road that a truck or train may or may not come ?
I guess I'm venting out at this point cause I lose cargo to that, but this is no funny gameplay for me, I don't like that, losing 1 truck sucks, knowing a random private that go his hands on a plane can come at any moment and destroy any kind of transport is just demotivating.
