We’ve been made aware of many of your requests for smaller teams in Air Realistic Battles as 16v16 teams are sometimes overwhelming in terms of the number of missiles at once.
With the release of the upcoming major update, we’ll be adding an option to the Air Realistic Battles game selection window where you’ll be able to turn on smaller team sizes.
This mechanic works in the same way as turning on the option for night battles: if there’s enough players in the queue with this option enabled, you’ll have a chance of getting into an air battle with smaller team sizes.
When this option is enabled, you’ll have the chance of getting into a battle with smaller team sizes (min - max: 6 - 12) instead of a regular battle (min - max: 6 - 16). Further adjustments in the future are possible depending on how sessions go.
This will only be for aircraft with a Battle Rating of 10.0 or higher, where high-end air-to-air missiles are far more prevalent.
Thank you for your feedback on this and we hope that this option for smaller teams will make your experience in Air Realistic Battles more enjoyable. Be sure to enable this option with the release of the major update!

Comments will be premoderatedI think that's still too high. It should be Min 6v6 and Max 8v8
I think that's still too high. It should be Min 4v4 and Max 8v8
well, 12v12 players is a step ahead but wasn't what we hoped for, making an option just like night battles for this mode is not a good idea at all, at least make players 10v10 and a separated battles one with 10v10 and one with 16v16, not just an option with luck to join this mode, anyway at least gaijin listen to us.
Give them what they want and they still cry
Finally, but it should not be optional, all battles should be 6vs or 8vs8 no more no less
12 vs 12 is oke but why make it just an maybe you get 12 vs 12 ? what is the reason for ceeping the 16 vs 16 ???? i dont get it ...
Why doesn't the helicopter PVP return better and adapt them the same as the one in PVE?
You've said you couldn't decompress the Battle Ratings because that would slice the Matchmaking into more segments and thus make the queue longer. Wouldn't adding this optional feature do the same thing? Also, 12v12 is still too many for top tier.
It would be better if you could make it so that there is a setting where every match is smaller, not just a few. Like a slider that has three options only big, only small, and both.
How about we do trial and error, cus theoretically we just don't know what the experience will be like. Lets see how it goes and if its good, then people! request a permanent change. I too feel like top ranks with IRCCM missile really brings an Ace Combat style experience "MISSILE! MISSILE!!"
