Airfield AAA Discussion Thread - Air Realistic Battles

That was a joke.
If we want deadly AI killing people en masse, why not make it deadly AI simply killing everybody so I don’t have to endure AF campers.

dawg the ITO-90’s at top tier are way too fucking busted. They burn out REALLY fast, you can’t see 'em, can’t chaff/flare 'em, and you just explode out of the blue for daring to get too close to the enemy AF.
I miss the rolands.

slight increase to AF AAA strength, but decrease numbers and make it so they can be permanently killed

Easily the biggest issue with them. Sometimes you were chasing someone while unaware they were going to the AF and the bright red lights on the Rolands would warn you that you were too close. Now you just explode.

Can’t wait to get stealth rolanded iny WW2 prop, because I’m kinda sure it’s still a thing, isn’t it?
I’ve stopped playing Air RB for some time and instead just slap people using Fw 190 A1 in Ground RB, lol.

Petition to move the airfield on the Britain map away from the center of the map.

Yeah, would be nice. But remember, we can’t have nice things and Gaijin hasn’t even fixed plywood bug yet, severe damage has been broken ever since its introduction and all changes to 20mm cannons effectiveky made the game much worse than it used to be.

I got killed by the airfield on britain in the 50mm me262 because I couldnt turn fast enough to avoid AA after a guy damaged my elevators.

The funniest part is the guy didnt actually get the credit for my death, it just said aa shot me down lol.

If that airfield was further away I wouldnt have died and would’ve RTB, no clue why they havent changed the design, the attacking team can just reset over and over using the AA cover.

Because Gaijin mostly changes things for the worse, that’s my point. That’s the reality of WT.

Once somebody asked for HE shell of ME-262 to have tracer removed, since normal HE shell, like the one in default belt, had historically no tracer.

So Gaijin removed tracers from Air Belt, while 5cm M-geschoss had a tracer version which was what would have been used, as tracers are extremely important for real life WW2 air to air gunnery.

Meanwhile the HE shell retains its unhistorical tracer.

I would love to have this map fixed. Don’t get m3 wrong. Just don’t have too much hope.

scum

see that dot? That’s the last guy on their team circling AF AA and trying to bait me into it by repeatedly running away. Notice that I’m not staying in space and waiting for him to be slow and full of fuel to pounce, our energy states are equalized and he’s in a good and fast jet so he could fight me if he wanted to.

Unfortunately he’s part of the lemon and oranges crowd (StatShark - See All Player, Missile, and Vehicle Statistics) so he’s not gonna do that and will abuse a cope out mechanic instead.

So, so tiring dealing with this nonsense practically every game.

EDIT: THERES NOTHING OFFENSIVE OR OBSCENE IN MY POST, STOP MASS FLAGGING???

Honestly I uninstalled the game, I can’t deal with this nonsense anymore, taking a solid 3 month break and I’m gonna go play some good games for a change like gloomwood (anyone reading this, go check it out, dillon rogers is behind it and he’s one hell of a gamedev)

At this point, after getting chat banned for a year for a hilarious reason, after WW2 balance has been abandoned, I no longer feel the obligation to NOT camp the AF. I mean, I don’t sit there, but I use it to gain speed and alt and to reset fights.
Scummy?
Yes.
Not fair?
Yes.
Do I care?
Well…
How many people have complained in this topic? It’s literally a few guys over and over + some newcomer every now and then. Which means… playerbase doesn’t care.
Do they care about plywood bug 2.0?
Nope.
Do they care about Yak-3 family running rampant along with Fireball and other pay2win premiums?
Nope.
Recently I noticed a single complaint about horribly pay2win T18E armored car. But that was like 1 mention in years.
So overal? Few people care, rest doesn’t.
So should I care?
Not really, it doesn’t help at the moment.
So I’ll just stop.
Maybe once chat ban ends in a YEAR I’ll go back to being decent.
Until then? I’m going to be the bad guy, knowing I’m a bad guy. But such is life.
I’m also buying the foliage bush B for maximum pay2win in ground RB.
Cheers.

    • There used to be three sets of AA used at the following Battle Ratings: 1.0-2.7, 3.0-7.3, 7.7+.
