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 premoderatedIf I can give some feedback, I feel the option should be a toggle in the sense that it allows someone to say "I don't want 16v16" because if it's released like this, you're giving a "unknown" % chance of these matches becoming a thing, forcing people that might find a struggle or not enjoy the 16v16 setting to play on it regardless of their pick, in any case this is still a good nudge in the right direction, but I would mix some other posibilities, 6-8 vs 6-8, great for Fox-3 gameplay.
This is a good decision :)
Please do something about bombing bases on Air Battles, they don't help to win battles as used to be. Is stressful to fight with your team for a base (I've been TK when I'm faster and about to reach a base first). Bases take too long to reappear. I would prefer to remove them all on high br where are no bombers, or to block all the bombs on air battles (high br). Bases could be replaced with more bots, refuelling aircraft, or more convoys.
That feel like a great start and I think people will love it. Feel like most of the players at top tier will choose it but I am no one to tell.
Ngl I like 16 v 16 it’s more fun
It should be better if they put random respawn with more than 4 Airfields
Let's gooooooo!!!!!!!!
I dont want to play 16v16 at all. I'd rather have the option to just sit in the que until I find a smaller match.
Well... it's not bad... but yeah... the option for min-max: 6-12, is still too high, it will be better min-max: 6-8, this will make the matchmaking faster.
This is a really good change. I hope in the future you will make changes like this quicker. We waiting for a 8v8 in top tier air RB since 2017.
