Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

Why are you even talking about AAA at top tier it’s not relevant you have to actually be braindead to die to a sam in anything past 12.0, too bad sams see 6.0s… And like I said if someone does that in a 16v16 lobby and the team can’t take him out they’re just worse and deserve to lose, I don’t see why you want a get out of jail free card and why you’re willfully ignorant to the extent it is abused, which is far more than it is ever actually used to rearm and re-engage.

Matches dont remain 16 vs 16 their entire length. People are killed and the match sizes reduce.

its not uncommon (at least when i’ve played at a range of BRs) for the last few alive to be running low on fuel and ammo require RTB.

When the game is 1v1, 1v2, 2v2 etc and one side is desperate to land but the other needs to land soon, but can eek it out, then it would be infuriating if the only option was to J-out or give them a free kill by trying to land.

Heck i’ve won a 1v3 before to win a match in the Gripen C and the only way I got the last 2 was because I went an RTB’ed. Should I have just J’ed out instead of going to land?

yet again AAA is not relevant and WILL NOT stop me from killing you on your airfield at top tier I don’t know how people die to it. I’m talking about 11.0 and down for the most part.

At top tier, perhaps, but Gaijin will apply the same to every BR. So it is at least semi relevant. (though did watch an F-20 get shot down by a Roland this afternoon going for a Mig-23ML that was landing)

In any case, i’ve RTBed many times in the Spitfire in need of fuel and ammo.

Heck, i’ve even won a nearly lost match that was like 1v4 in the Buc S2 by landing, and going out for another run and bleeding the last few tickets they had.

AAA needs to exist, but also just needs to mitigated so that people cant orbit forever within the AAA

okay, you are not the average player and even you will not win the majority of 1v4s and no one can if they attack with any degree of coordination. the vast majority of players fly to their airfield at the slightest inconvenience and abuse it, it should be removed because it ruins the gameplay experience. you can have airfield AAA just not a guaranteed win.

Which is all ION was saying

Have the AAA function fully to allow aircraft to have the chance of landing and rearming and refueling in some degree of safety and then give them the oppotunity to get airbourne and into a state where they might have a chance of at least figting back.

ION’s solution would achieve that but avoids it being excessively abused.

that is such a weird and just frankly bizarre fix, just make airfield AAA as good as it is with the AAA targets on the map, there’s no reason for them to jump up in capability.

You don’t deserve free kills under any circumstance, especially if all you did was spend a match camping over an airfield to attack unsuspecting people leaving the AF after refuel/rearm/repair.

You fighter jocks are boring to engage, frankly. Narrow-minded like the CoD kids.

the only narrow minded person is you, people don’t re arm and re engage they flew strictly within AAA range hoping it does what they cannot. and dude you’re running a .5 kd in a spitfire pipe down lol

What a flagrant and obvious lie you say. 30K battles and you have the audacity to lie so blatantly? Absolute disgrace.

30k battles and you can’t get a positive kd in any plane kinda sad innt, it’s clear you only want AAA so you can abuse it.

I wasn’t the one even talking about my matches using the Spitfire. You can’t even keep up on who is replying to you.

If you expect a third party website to accurately track player stats that doesn’t track them in real-time or track past history you’re legitimately hopeless in every metric. Coupled that with your blatant lies and ignorance by choice it’s obvious you are someone completely unworthy of being engaged with by anyone.

i checked your wt profile feel free to look me up in game

I don’t care to look you up in-game. I don’t care about your stats, either. Your replies in the thread here make clear you’re a pathological liar and gaslighter and are unworthy of engaging with further in any topic.

Enjoy the Shadowrealm, Jimbo. You’ve earned it.

most cringe reply I’ve ever gotten on this site and you can just look up your profile dude.

No - u murdered younglings.

The reason u won has nothing to do with af aaa, it is factually impossible to turn around these matches if at least one of them has an IQ higher than a Cheeseburger.

So whilst i am happy for you that were able to turn around a match against all odds you might acknowledge that such occasions are rather rare - you lose mostly by tickets and due to the 25 minute timer as soon as one player just outclimbs you.

These turnarounds happen when you face rookies without experience trying to play PvE in PvPvE mode. In other words: Even without watching the replays it is obvious that they had neither the experience nor the focus on PvP game play.

So if if you state that you would have lost if one player had utilized af aaa you say that they had a severe ticket advantage - their team played PvE and killed tickets.

That’s why it is clear for me that you missed my point - the question is not having a safe zone or not - the question is simply for what reason players play wt and how mature they are.

So without a SBMM every half-most experienced player is (if he flies a meta plane) able to clap the gazillions of rookies in Air RB lobbies.

As always: Very clear and strict to the point 😂

If you ever had the chance to read this book:

Surrounded by idiots?

…you might agree that playing wt and participating in forum discussions is often a challenge for your mental health.

Have a good one!

Edit (for 3rd party readers): Don’t even try to flag this post - the book picture was reviewed by forum mods and assessed as ok - otherwise they would have deleted it here.

Well, yes. I prefer being clear, concise and to the point. There are many people here on the forums that have low IQ and comprehension skills, after all. Gotta break it down Barney-style so they can at least try to keep up.

As for that book I have plenty of experience in being surrounded by idiots both in videogames and IRL. I could write a book like that on experience alone.

Lastly, the game and the forums are only as taxing as you allow them to be. Both can be easily turned off when one has had enough, and since both are filled with people you will never deal with in any actual personal capacity it’s very easy to choose not to get riled up by any of them, including the most egregious to interact with.

And again, I will remind the class that I don’t flag posts. Ever.

I am quite comfortable fighting anything.
Anyway, thing is - AF AAA has ruined thousands of games for me.
Getting strafed ruined single games in the span of a decade.
The only thing AF AAA is good for is AF camping.
I think the guy taking off and leaving AF AAA might have won 1-2 games out of 600, but it was mostly because it was Yak-3 va 3.3-3.7 planes, none of which was Ki-44-II :D

In other words - if our AF user takes off, he’s as good as dead anyway. Yeah, AF AAA gives him a chance but that “chance” only exists for people spending several minutes inside the bubble and f.e. flying Yak-3U vs goddamn Fw 190 F8.
Now, why would we EVER want to give higher BR and better performing plane even larger advantage overal is something I just don’t understand.
And my main point in the last comment was - when AF AAA is not a factor, and the enemy is playing the game, the game gets a lot more fun. Hence I play Ground RB for air combat, as people actually go towards the objective. The minus or GRB is if course…

…AF AAA. Because what the hell else would ruin the fun.
