What do you mean by "more pilot slots"?

I mean when you select a player at the start of a multiplayer game eg Medic, Repair Specialist, Rifleman etc there could be more pilots to choose so there can be more people able to fly.

Obviously the amount of air traffic can be controlled by the number of available aircraft within the games...as there can't be 5 people flying 3 birds.

Or maybe it could be a qualification each player has to achieve via playing single player challenges or something of sorts.

I enjoy the flying and transporting aspect of the game, sometimes I can contribute to a game more this way than on the front line where sometimes I may assist more with the other teams kill count.

I understand in reality it is a limited skill...hence a suggestion to offer a training course in single player mode to enable qualification. May also be more realistic to ensure pilots are upto some sort of a standard when entrusted with the lives of other players etc.

Just food for thought for future development, its not detrimental.

Do you even understand that those are community made missions? BI doesn't have anything to do with them.

Moderator, please close this as a no-bug.

Thanks for clearing that up. Therefore my suggestion for BI to implement some sort of option to enable people to be a pilot despite community game creation.

Also, are you saying that BI would have nothing to do with changing the current structure of the options available to the community for creating games, if they wanted to. eg they could remove pilot from the unit options all together and have it so anyone can fly, similar to how anyone can drive...this is just an example, not a suggestion.

It is a part of the game that I have an issue with for various reasons mentioned. Surely you can understand that.

Per default any class can fly. Some missions/servers have custom restrictions.

Seems to me you need to find a different server.
