The only way to get a base in AB is to spawn a Bf110 or other insanely fast plane and WEP to the base while ignoring everything coming at you. Such bs it’s not funny

Yep, it’s dead. People that say that you have to climb haven’t fought it at 6-7km. It’s a fighter plane with a cruise bomb that gets spawned at bomber altitude.
It’s needs to be nerfed. Either give it an attacker spawn or even better - fighter spawn.

yesterday morning, i pursued one, that dove with my russkie premium P-63, i couldn’t catch it until mapend - i was going over 700kmh for 2 minutes straight.
I don’t even think, it’s a Fw 190A - it seems to have a better engine than that.

I tried to catch one with P47 in a level flight, couldn’t catch one, he was faster. When I was flying the FW190, I was able to outrun or outclimb anyone that was trying to catch me.

Probably a hot take but I think arcade just need to removed as a mode.
OMG not yet another (GAMEMODE) is officially dead post.
And so on, and so forth … It’s like The End of the World will be (Always 5-10 years later) doom-posting
Spelling and grammar aside, you know you can shoot them down right?

have you played 4,0 air AB the last few days ?

why ? it’s not like RB doesn’t have a gazillion problems as well.
The Mistel and the bomber DMs are by far the biggest problem right now in air AB and the fact, that players don’t get punished for leaving after just 1 death (same as in ground).
It’s a one trick poney, very similar to the Squadron Mosquito. Just avoid playing this BR range for a few weeks but be warned this flying Enema will be abused in future air events for how easy it’s use is. Side Climb at the begining of match to at least 5 Km then divebomb all the bases one by one.

The FW-190 that it carries has 0 weapons; it cannot fend for itself.
If you somehow manage to engage it at range. Not at close distance, then you will likely prematurely detonate the player carrying the dang-on thing.
What it sounds like is that you are holding the trigger on the tiny circle. While getting stupidly close to it.
maybe i was abit anger aiming at times, but seriously, they can just flatout bomb once right from the start, whether it’s a 4-ground group (pillbox, 2x howitzers, 1x aa) or a base.
And then they easily bomb a 2nd time, cause it’s just a 30sec reload.
And then your points are already down hard with 3-8 Mistel each team…
And they can simply climb hard in between bomber release, so…no, it’s not an aiming issue :)
Clearly, it is an aiming issue.
Although I play RB nowadays, something I learned from it when I rarely play AB is to use stealth belts only. If they can’t see your rounds, their brains turn to mush. Can’t see, can’t dodge effectively.
Also, what you just stated is no different from if I brought a B5N and kamikazed straight into a base.
The technique is really no different. It’s just the method of delivery that is.
Your anger aiming clearly is also causing you problems cause you are overheating your guns and never actually hitting your target. So my advice: aim slightly off from the circle reticle. Albeit slightly off, since I know in AB Vertical targeting is on, so this tip is 50/50 useful.
Fun fact, it usually takes a single shot to the warhead for it to detonate
So skill does matter, just aim better
I wonder what exactly the Dev server players (content creators) who got early access, as well as Gaijin themselves, were doing during the testing phase.
Surely it couldn’t have been that difficult to realize that implementing the game in this state of balance would completely break it.
I don’t know whether feedback simply isn’t being taken into account, or whether anyone bothered to provide meaningful feedback in the first place. Either way, one thing has become abundantly clear: early access testing serves absolutely no purpose.

Just look at the sheer numbers of Mistels. I don’t think the game is playable for now.

When there is 7 Ju88’s flying at different targets, there is no way, you can be close to intercepting the necessary amounts.
They can literally target anything on the map with ease.
As i said, they are not restricted to bases…
Yeah I was using my Mistel

Then how come i shoot it with BR-350B from my T-34 and it doesnt do anything? I aimed for the warhead and i saw the tracer phase right through the damn thing
Screenshot i took of the incident (maybe not the best it was for screenshot competition)
AB was not crazy before. Like in real WOII (and all wars ever since) lore, if you did not take care of shooting down attacking bombers or attackers you are toast. Fighters exist because bombers will fight the war.
The buff made it kind of possible again to have bombers decide the battles by destroying the airfield. Problem with the Mistel could be solved. If the A2D is a full 2.0 BR higher in AB than in RB (which is crazy since it is higher than a b52) the Mistel can also be like 5.3-6.0 in AB. In air reload is very strong.
