Get rid of air vehicles in Galactic Assault

I think they work on Kashyyyk. The Starfighter's can take out the the clone LAAT's and the droids tanks. Also, I had an awesome dogfight through the trees a a moment ago.

You can only rack up tons of points on maps with AI and good targets. On something like naboo you only fight enemy fighters so you usually don't get to kill too many before dying.

I don't see the problem with them really, if one side has air superiority they get to ground attack, so that's why it's mostly an air duel to deny that to the other team. I wouldn't say this mode is "nothing but" people waiting to play as fighters - I rarely do. If your experience has been frustrating with trying to pick them, I'd recommend not picking fighters. Works well for Kashyyk and Kamino.

They're extremely useful to break vehicle pushes and do some damage in situations where the enemy team is dung in pretty effectively. Removing them would be a terrible idea- although I would like to see the NPCs made more dangerous and their point worth lowered, maybe even a cap. Your main point gain from flyin should be from killing players, be it in ships or on the ground.

As for the whole shooting them down from the ground? I honestly think that's right. It's pretty shitty from a flying perspective to be shot down by a tiny little spec on the ground you have to strain your eyes to just see. On top of that, by making it hard for heavies to shoot down air units it encourages players to use ships themselves and pull the fighters away from engaging ground troops.
