My suggestion is just to... stay away from there until you have a proper plane maxed out and when, hopefully, the devs tweak the matchmaking system.

Coz u know, everybody out there acts like a gangsta when they nerded all the planes, but as soon as u have an humble f15 c with sasm, they get wrecked.

For the spammers, this has always been the case, either infinity or ac7. People are lame and tend to abuse easy stuff, it is what it is.

QAAMs are the absolute worst in MP. Those damn things don't ever stop chasing and flares don't seem to work. Unless they're not supposed to and the bastard's cheating.

any of the pvp mode are almost unplayable. getting wrecked by a f22 and im just paying my 3rd plane is bs

The matchmaking system is a train wreck. Team setup tends to be quite lopsided with one team of maxed planes vs the other having the basics. Fights aren't interesting, they're massacres.

What matchmaking? To my knowledge there is non. Just finding random players across the world to put together.

Love those trainers. In order to unlock 1st LT to get the SU-57, F-22 or F-35 you need to play 250 matches. This isn't including the number of matches to get the blueprints to upgrade said final tier jets. While many may have already done this legitimately by no lifing it and playing non-stop, trainer use online is becoming an issue. EAC is pretty simple to bypass, and it has been clear based on some matches that there are the occasional players cheating. Not just by their rank or by what plane they have unlocked, but by the score they can rack up either in Assault or Warfare. QAAM's are very powerful, and I use those in my F-16C just to have ANY kind of chance in Warfare, and even then I'm still getting wrecked by players in "inferior" planes like the F-14D or F-4E which don't carry those. The "Magic Missile" title is definitely true for some players I've encountered. Warfare is just plain abysmal due to the suspect playing and I don't even touch it except for my one daily mission.

I am "only" a staff sergeant in game and I have yet to see an emergency sortie. I've only seen scramble I think 3 maybe 4 times. Bandai really needs to address MP issues now, or MP will be dead within a few weeks. Many players on these very forums are complaining about it too which means it is problematic in many ways from progression, rewards, and the sheer lack of content. The only players left will be the sweat tryhards and whoever has the better trainers. Not that winning matters in MP anyway, the rewards are the same win or lose, so it is really just a point of pride.

After 10 hours of online I'm pretty sure there is no matchmaking. Judging by how many people are in the lobbies I really don't think they'll ever add any cost-based or skill based matchmaking.

And with this being a more gatcha-centric multiplayer, you can forget about them balancing any special weapons or planes. They want the whales to spend gold to feel good about themselves. Why do you think they added the gatcha mechanics in the multiplayer to begin with?

Everything could have been fixed if they removed all that and focused on a FUN co-op or even verses mode, but nope. Money is all that matters.

There is deathmatch, but I got no interest in that. Warfare is already a PITA.

Content-wise, they need many more maps and mission types. Plus, Emergency Sorties need much more variety AND frequency. I do hope they'll make that happen. I wanna fight the other super weps.
